Well, the simple answer is 'wish and intense longing'.

Other forms of conversion - bribe, blackmail, terror - are not our forte.

If one does not want to convert, what is the need? When A R Rehman's mother converted to islam, he and and his younger sister converted, but his elder sister remained a hindu.

Sarangji, this is a noble and intriguing thought. However how do we decide who is eligible to enter the Brahmin fold and who is not? If it is not by birth, is it by education, food habits, or just by marriage? What conditions do the converts have to satisfy and what perks do they get?
