"It was not."

I agree with you it isn't Christianity. The message of Christianity is about love, kindness and compassion. But then historically speaking, the ascent of Christianity has been achieved more through political/military conquests rather than a genuine effort to spread the message of love and kindness. In the name of spreading the message of Jesus, whats actually happening in parts of India today isnt very different.

It is hard to believe that there are Christians today going into India and forcing people to convert using violence. Of course I am not there, but the Christian missionaries I know in SE Asia provide wells, foods, and other supplies in their effort to win converts. I just can't imagine how such a small group could get converts using violence.
