Heh heh. Not so fast dudes!

Hindus cleaning their act is not a window of oppurtunity for Christianity (or Islam). Hinduism, one of the worlds oldest religion came to this world (with the truth) thousands of years before Christ and will outlive both Christianity and Islam.

Meanwhile Christianity will need to clean their own act first.

Actually, the wisest qualities of Hinduism were borrowed from Buddhism, which was once the national religion for all of India (first formed into a distinct empire by Asoka, the first emperor of India and devoted disciple of Buddhism).

Lord Buddha declared the wrongness and emptiness of caste and gender discrimination 2500 years ago. His writings are as beautiful today as they were when he spoke them. May I suggest perusing Theravada Buddhist writings for those seeking alleviation of pervasive unsatisfactoriness?
