The whole debate about conversions has nothing to do with theology orwhatever. It has to do with the fact that conversions create socialtensions. Even aggressive proselytisers get upset (to put it mildly)when their flock leave to join another sect/religion. The issue thenbecomes is whether these proselytisers have a moral right to convertothers to their religion/sect. I think not.I have raised this issues at various academic forum. The academiciansrefuse to even accept that the issue is on table.
The so called Academicians in India have no courage to oppose any thing that is a fact of life.

2. My Take:
Quote: The whole debate about conversions has nothing to do with theology orwhatever
COMMENT: Not true. Conversion has EVERYTHING to do with theology, the Christian theology. Hindus in general do not understand this constituent, because of their lack of knowledge of Christianity.
Quote: Even aggressive proselytisers get upset (to put it mildly) when their flock leave to join another sect/religion.
COMMENT: Getting Upset is a Mental Problem, about the only thing that the proselytisers can do, is to see a doctor. We Hindus do not want to stop, converting Christians to Hinduism, just because it is not good for the health of the Christian Missionaries.
Quote: The issue then becomes is whether these proselytisers have a moral right to convert others to their religion/sect.
COMMENT: That is not the issue at all. We Hindus do not want to lose Hindus to Christianity. In fact, we want to convert Christians to Hinduism, regardless of whether proselytisers have a moral right or not to convert. That is the issue.

Quote: The academiciansrefuse to even accept that the issue is on table.
COMMENT: This is because of their lack of knowledge of Christianity, and aggregate mis-apprehension of the conversion problem. This is a frightening ideological Hindu play.
3. But there is a bigger " point of debate ". During the last 1200 years, Hindu society has " Unwisely " Not ideologically-resisted either Islam or Christianity, consequently has been severely-punished. Even at this time, Victim Hindu society is not at all ideologically-prepared, to take on either Islam or Christianity.
Hindu will continue to bleed until, he understands precisely what he faces.
