Sir/madam, Namaskar. In Hindu marriages, names of any thing from 3 to 7 generations on the father and mother’s side are invoked. This presupposes remaining in the same caste and hence religion. It is indeed so easy for a Hindu to convert to Christianity or Islam but so difficult to bring a convert to Hinduism. This problem need be tackled by Dharmacharyas, and other Hindu religious leaders to prevent this one sided transfer of Hindus to other faiths.
Besides, parents need introduce Ramayana and Mahabharata which includes Bhagawad Gita to their children at home ( since these are not made available in so called secular education) and this will not only strengthen their moral fibre but inculcate in them a pride in Hinduism
I am of the opinion that it is selfish on the part of marriageable children not to factor parental concern while deciding to marry out side the community. SC Panda, Bhubaneswar(India)

Wow! You took words out of my mouth…

“……However, the thing that boggles my mind is that, there has not been a single intercultural wedding I have seen between a Muslim and a Hindu in which the Muslim person has taken the Hindu’s last name and converted to Hinduism. Sure there is no need for anyone to convert or for anyone to take anyone else’s last name but every time a wedding between a Muslim and Hindu happens there is a clear pattern. The Hindu is always the one to convert, change names or allow a Muslim ceremony only…..”

Very well said. Every conversion is one sided.

What a paradox!

One is not even allowed to carry a copy of the Holy Bible in Saudi Arabia;
One is not allowed to convert a Jew into any other religion is Israel;
One is not allowed to convert a Muslim to any other religion in Malaysia, Pakistan, Jordan and even Turkey;
but in India, every one is allowed to convert any Hindu into any other religion forcefully or other wise.

Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first elected Prime Minister (1963-1964) and President (1964-1978) said:

“When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.”

Hope and pray that this will not happen to India.

Excellent article. It is not that Hindus are “very weak,” but Dharmic (Hindu, Sikh, Jain) young adults and their parents make irrational decisions relating to interfaith marriages due to lack of knowledge. Luckily, a new web site is now available with wealth of information.

http://www.InterfaithShaadi.org

This new web site covers:
Survey: 38% of Dharmics marry to Christians, Jews and Muslims in America.
Survey: 45% of Muslims in America marry out side their faith.
Many articles and information to help young adults and their parents.
Bollywood stories.
Videos ….and many more.
Please pass this information to others and educate Hindu young adults to avoid mistakes in the future.

Hindu’s are very weak. In M’sia thousand on Hindu’s married to Muslim they always covert to Muslim and they speak Malay language and claim to be Malay. New generation branded Malay.
Hindu Minister in Parliament mouth are sealed with #*@%#. Event Bramin convert to Muslim practice the same.
