The Hindus think they can stop the spread of the Church Of Jesus Christ by passing a law. They'll find that trhey are woefully mistaken.

Christianity came to India two thousand years ago.But still, it didn't manage to get a sizable population to convert. What is it in Hinduism that kept so many sticking to this faith? Coercion? That's a bullsh!t of an answer oft spread by cynical evangelists.You must remember that what you call the caste system in Hinduism, it is not part of the religion.In fact, there are umpteen deities in Hinduism who are regarded "untouchable" or "low" caste in origin.What you see as the caste system is the result of the several dozen ethnic and racial groups trying to segregate themselves to prevent intermingling.Much like the apartheid that existed not very long ago in the United States, S.Africa, Europe etc.(Mind you, racial tensions still exist in your country).Now by the same logic, can I call apartheid a feature of Christianity? If you intend to say that your religion, by way of its scriptures abhors apartheidand racism, I can equally declare you won't be able to find a single phrase promoting the same in the scriptures of Hinduism.Also, Hinduism is not a real religion, much less an organised one.No one 'converts' to Hinduism, nor does anyone 'leave' it.No hindu can prove he/she is a hindu.
