Folks,

Conversions are not new to India. But what is alarming is that the conversions are no more based on an individual's choice of a religion - which should be respected, while understanding that a person's birth religion has everything that a person requires, in terms of cultural, philosophical and life support.

Nowadays, conversions have become a 'business' because of the foreign money thrown for it, to 'harvest the hapless souls'. This plays right in to the vote bank politics also.

But my only question is this - if our religion takes care of EVERYONE in it's fold, will there be any conversions? Who is responsible for this? Why do we have folks in Hinduism, who would convert on the basis of receiving money? Again, who is responsible for this state of affairs and who should resolve this?

Just simple questions we all should be asking ourselves, in my humble opinion.

Pranams,
KRS
