Hinduism has a good following among educated americans. They purused hinduism and/or buddhism out of their own interest. There were no Gita thumpers knocking on peoples doors.

Err.. ever heard of Hare Krishnas? And they're nice folks, shiny, happy people! Just like the bible thumpers knocking on your door.

Yes, I did hear of them? How many of these were converted to hinduism by indian monks thumping gitas? Was there a massive infusion of funds to convert americans to this cult? These people read about hinduism on their own and converted. Do you seriously believe that in the 60s these people could go to the bible belt and have the freedom to preach to christians? In fact in one incident an indian monk - Vivekanand - who tried this was stoned in Texas.

In contrast the british rule over india gave a strong foot hold to missionaries. To this day vast amounts of money are pumped into india with the sole purpose of defaming hinduism and destroying it.
