Unfortunately, the services that you describe are what the BFP radicals are targeting with this "allurement" law.

I think you can expect BJP attacks on Christian missions in general in the near future.

Anyone know off the top of their head how many people constitute the "untouchable" caste in India? If it's 20% of the population, we're talking about ca. 200,000,000 people. If even half that number converted, that's a huge number of new Christians.

I know Catholicism is growing in India. How about the various protestant groups?

They leave that to their allies in the RSS, which resembles a cross between a European fascist party and a Hindu Taliban.

It's already happening though:

Six missionaries beaten during gospel campaign in India.

Missionaries tread warily in India.
