NEW DELHI (Worthy News)- Late last month, a church in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh was turned into a temple after members of the congregation were forcefully converted to Hinduism, according to Barnabas Aid.

The former church in Asroi village - about 100 miles south-east of New Delhi - had served as a place of worship for Dalit Christians who occupy the lowest level of India's caste.

During a Hindu purification ritual of the church, its cross was torn down and replaced by an image of Shiva. The Hindu nationalists responsible for this released a YouTube video and a press release announcing that 72 Christians had become Hindus.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party assumed control of India in May there has been a rise in Hindu nationalism at the expense of non-Hindu minorities. Since Modi's BJP has been in power, there have been more than 600 attacks on Muslims and Christians.

There is nothing parallel to conversion, in Hinduism. Fail!
 
If they can convert Hindus and Hindus shouldn't protest?Then Hindus converting Christians back to Hinduism should be OK right?They shouldn't complain were giving them a taste of their own medicine.Hinduism didn't have a concept of conversion.Prosetlysing actions made Hindus to adopt "Shuddi karan" and reconversion methods which were unheard of.Soon Hinduism will evolve and go on a conversion spree to counter the menace of prosetlization.Hinduism is was always flexible and evolving through ages that's how it was able to survive while others stay,rigid and become obsolete.
