@ Royo Are you sure people can't be converted forcefully? "coerce" is the right word for this Imagine this A king of religion "A" conqures the land of people who follow religion "B". King of "A" imposes tax on people of religion "B". Threaten them of dier consequence of poeple of religion "B" don;t pay tax. People of religion "B" are peace ful and don;t know how to fight. Soilders of religion "A" comes to houses of people of religion "B" and says," Accept religion A or die" . What would you have done? speak with your consiousness. There are four types of convertion 1)Convertion dues to death threat and Emporor converts- - Convert or Dies philosophy(Most religions don't say this, but it's followers do it)
- The ruler of land converts and makes others to follow the same (by force or by peaceful means). (Violent means) Mohamed of ghaznavi/Mohamed of ghori, Aurangzeb, Spanish conquestadors, Portugese etc (Peaceful Means)This is eveident in cambodia and ancient india(bhuddism spread by ashoka). Akbar of india etc…. This is the single most important reason for spread of any religions in the world. more areas conqured, more the religion is spread
2)Convertion dues to economic reasons - religious Tax – people of perticular religion have to pay a religious tax for "safety"
- money theory- give out lots of money to the poor of a perticular religion so that they convert
3) Convertion due to lack of faith(lack of knowledge of faith) - People not knowing of thier own religion think other religion is better even though it preachings are same
4) Convertion due to own will - people find a perticular religion more inspiring.
People who convert today are type 4, but the same is not for the past. Yes you are right the person will still be in the heart for 2 or three generations… That is the reason why many muslims and christians (perticularly in kashmir and goa)in india still have thier Brahmin hindu sur names like butt, chaudry,prabhu etc…. Kashmiri muslims still sing in mosques, which is a practice coming from singing in hindu temples. @Oseseme That piece of documentary was shown on Indian national news channel, Run by government of india. The present govt is "secular" in nature. Any how the all news channels in india is highly biased against hindu movment like "hindutva" @ pink angel - so according to you only muslim people are lucky ??
