<<How does one convert someone by force?>>

The National Council of Churches in India themselves admit that there are "cases of forced conversion!" Moreover, Mother Teresa once said, "there is always the danger that we may become only social workers and just do the work for the sake of the work."

In 1997, 50,000 Reang tribals fled Mizoram in fear of the Catholic's spree of looting, burning, raping and killing. In Jan 1999, a delegation of Dimasa tribals from Assam met the Home Minister to demand a separate state to protect their identity. Their main concern....efforts at conversion to Christianity. In Idukki Kerala, of the 200,000 plantation workers, 75% have converted to Christianity. Estate owners threatened them with loss of job unless they convert. Much of the real estate in south and central Kerala is owned by Christians.
