Missionaries enter India using a normal visitor’s Visa which does not
allow them to engage in any conversion activities but they still
continue to do so since enforcement is non-existent and it is very
difficult to follow every missionary. Thus the route can be plugged at
source by denying visas to foreign
Church officials and missionaries. A little research by the Indian
embassy or consulate in the foreign country can give them a lot of
information about such organisations. Some of them are even school
teachers who use their summer holidays to visit India for missionary
activities.
One very effective way to dent the Christian evangelism is a proactive anti-conversion campaign. Hindus can enlist the support of many intellectuals, activists, academics and even normal folks in the West who oppose the Church’s conversion activities. They can be invited to tour India to engage and speak with vulnerable sections of the society on the evils of conversions and probably even expose the lies of the Church.
Let’s face it: given India’s colonial past, Indians face an inferiority complex while dealing with white people and the Church exploits this Indian vulnerability to the hilt. There is nothing more gratifying than a white man touching, moving about or even eating at a Dalit house while his co-coreligionists shun him. This misplaced sense of acceptance by a white man is all that a Dalit needs to convert to an alien cult. Take this missionary edge away by firstly integrating the outer fringes of Hindu society and counter the white missionary with white Christian myth busters.
Being Secular doesn't mean Hindus should accept the terms and conditions set by proselytizing religions.Better to make your children join schools or institutions run by Hindu organizations to have a feel and respect of Hindu culture .Nowadays Private and Hindu run schools give quality education better than missionary run schools
