Mohan, on EGRP, see #reply-7575995. I don't think "Hindu missionaries" is such an outlandish idea. It is true that there hasn't been too much such activity, but there has been some activities that spread the religion. Shankaracharyan (Adi Shankaran), an illustrious son of Kerala revived the religion and established religious centers at four places in India to keep the flame burning. I support VHP's efforts to raise awareness, but realistically, I think it is pretty sure to increase some tensions, and I am fearful that we will soon be hearing news of disruption of religious harmony in Kerala. Also, the following gives me pause. <<Claiming that foreign agencies were pumping in millions of ruppees into Kerala for the activities of the Christian missionaries, he said the VHP would approach the plantation owners for financial assistance to curtail religious conversions in these areas.>> Considering that most plantation owners are Christians this sounds to me like a threat of extortion.
