Nandu: It was longer than 20 years. People were still trying to find their way around after the british left. English was THE language to be trained in and there were very few cath schools. So they obviously took advanatge of the situation, as anyone would. I dont blame them but they didnt realize the backlash that would and has followed and I dont blame them either. Its just a fact of life. Action / reaction. People just have to get over it.

My general objection to the VHP campaign is that regardless of what they say up front, when you probe a little deeper you see that they are opposed to conversions of any kind, and not just those done forcibly. Implicit in Dalmia's statement that everybody should be "free to practice the religion of one's birth" is that one shouldn't be free to change one's religion after birth. That is not an acceptable stand. I second your viewpoint. Apparently everybody is also "free" to practice the caste of one's birth, implying that no one is free change one's caste after birth.
