Now you are indulging in conspiracy. Suspecting every person who tries to put an alternative viewpoint as indulging in conspiracy theories may be your form of paranoia.

My original proposition was about the slant in news stories about India. And I was referring to the particular Dalit story. As a news story, it was unprofessional reporting. (For example, it quoted only the Dalit and not the defendant party in the accusation, and did not mention any other investigation on part of the reporter to verify the story). But everyone was ready to buy it without criticism as it reinforced their bias about India. I just provided some real world Indian context to the story.

>Suspecting every non-native religious organization trying to do charity work is not a healthy way of viewing the world. If one goes looking for conspiracy theories you will find one everywhere including one that was suggesting that this Tsunami was caused by nuclear testing etc.>

When did I suggest that every non-native religious organization should be suspected? It was Yiwu who pointed out in context to the Dalit story, that India should not be refusing foreign aid.

Charity and aid does not come without strings attached. There are some examples of religious organizations who use it for conversion... I don't have to be a conspiracy nut to say that. I have seen shows on Christian cable channels in US which are openly asking for money to convert the Dalits.
