With the regime change in India, the influx of Western proselytizers has increased a lot. Few years down stream, the scion of the Gandhi family will ascend to the throne and stay there for the rest of his life, like his predecessors from the Nehru-Gandhi clan. Those 25-30 years will be the heyday of Catholicism in India; as under the direction of India's first christian Prime Minister, there will be hoards of missionaries running amok converting entire villages of poor people. The game plan is simple - give the poor villager a free meal and then shove a bible down his throat as dessert. Hindus are by and large a docile group and I don't see much resistance to missionaries working under the patronage of the central govt. The uneducated naive masses will be willing partners in this surreptitious game, as they are the ones who caste votes in favor of secularist (anti-hindu) leaders. Instead of solitary "sisters" here and there, we will see many many "sisters" and "fathers" running schools and programming the minds of next generation of hindu kids.
Am I being oversimplistic and paranoid? I sure hope so. But I don't think I am. I welcome your comments!
