What do you call Missionaries who came during Tsunami, and said we will give you food and water if you convert? During the 60's it was a common occurance, especially in the 1963 Famine.
I dont agree with the anti-conversion laws, but they do have a point. But I dont agree with the course they have taken as it violates Human rights. Its not as if you cant convert, just that government makes sure that you havent been coerced into one, like above.
