If that were the case, you'd think you'd be more confident in Hinduism's future and not so deathly afraid of the "evil Christian conspiracy" taking over your beloved India. It isnt "my" beloved India. Anyways, sure, once india attains material prosperity, the missionaries are welcome to go there. None is against Christians intellectually spreading their message. The law and people like me are against conversion through allurement. As one poster here pointed out there are 15k missionaries in china. The churches are pumping in cloes to $350 million an year to entice hindus with money to convert. That is plain plain wrong.

Yawn. Your claim is typical materialist elitism. "The poor are too stupid to resist the allure of money. They'll gladly cast away strongly held beliefs in exchange for filthy lucre."
Of course, the claim itself is ridiculous. If the poor are converting to Christianity, the reason must be that Hinduism is weakly held by most of them, and if given a chance, they'll opt for something else. And a doctrine like Christianity that teaches that the poor will enter Heaven ahead of the rich, can only be described as extremely appealing.
The path of repression against Christians has been trod by many kings and states. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
