On the Hindu contradiction of intents
A few days ago some Indian politician was making the case for ghar wapsi (conversion of non-Hindus of Hindu ancestral background to Hinduism). Of course, he had to withdraw the comments due to an uproar. Myself, I’m American, and people convert from religion to religion all the time.

Pew Survey on India (religion, etc.)
The Pew Survey on India is long. Here are my main impressions/surprises: – The strong emphasis on Hindi in the Gangetic plain is pretty striking (“Central”) – The stuff about mass conversions to Christianity in South India seems overdone. I understand people can/will lie on Census due to reservations, but this seems less plausible for …
