"On the other hand, the Indian middle class is rejecting certain types of global cultural forces. One of the less appealing but increasingly visible forces of cultural globalization in Indian is the evangelical Christian movement. Missionary activity in India is growing at a rapid pace as these movements become increasingly 'Fordist', or assembly line, in character. Missionaries, primarily from American and Europe, spend a month or so in Indian cities forming and training 'cell groups' of individuals who in turn prosyletize. This in turn has led to tension between missionaries and pro-Hindu groups and has resulted in the killing of seven missionaries. These deaths were spotlighted by the national media and led to national debate about the position of relgious minorities in India. The middle classes were vocal in expressing their distress ah the changing nature of missionary actiivity in the country, as well as the intolerant response to it." from "A Tryst with Destiny: The Indian Case of Cultural Globalization" by Tulasi Srinivas, in "Many Globalizations: Cultural Diversity in the Contemporary World", ed. by Peter L.
