Those "tolerant" Hindus used to tell a large minority of their own country that they were beneath them, had to work for them but keep out of their way and sight and never enter their temples. But when the downtrodden folk signed up to other religions (Buddhism or Christianity) suddenly they became Hindus being enticed away. Both caste Hindus in India and Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh still treat these converted Christians as untouchable: deny them access to the same wells or water pumps and make them live and work apart. The caste Hindus think it's unfair that other religions entice their servants away with honey while they keep them down with vinegar, sticks and stones. So I doubt the bona fides of the campaigners against the conversion of members of "scheduled" castes and tribes in India. When the police turn up to "return" people to their original religion pending investigation, what they are doing is pushing them back down to their original station in life, i.e. re-enslaving them.

@MICAH033-l8g Christians and other "People of the Book" think they have just one crack at life. The rest get to come back and have another shot at it. No eternal damnation for them.

These arrogant evangelicals had things their own way in England during the Commonwealth, and for somewhat longer in Scotland. They stopped all the accommodations that had grown up between the Roman Church and indigenous culture, cancelled every holiday (including Christmas and Easter) as pagan, banned the theatre, music and dancing and made going to church compulsory again. After a couple of decades the English had had enough and the Puritans were sent packing. Religious warfare on the mainland of Europe had a similar effect on people's appetite for polemical preaching. A lot of the most extreme Protestants, from Western Europe as well as England, sailed across to America to set up their own theocratic communities which reinstated much of the worst of what they had known before, but in favour of their own sect. These were the forerunners of the crazies of today. The fundamentalists also had a role in legitimising the Indian genocide on the basis of Biblical precedent. Meanwhile the "broad church" movement developed in England and, as in other European countries, religious polemics are discouraged. Cunning politicians used the Catholic-Protestant divide to fuel conflict in Northern Ireland until the decay of religious belief defused it, despite the efforts of American donors. Religion was also exploited by the warring parties in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia to draw funding from abroad.
