It is myth that is produced by indian media, that none convert to hinduism. i want to clearly say that hinduism is the fastest growing religion in the world. there are 22,000,000 neo-hindu converts from islam and christianity. in india, now christians and muslims are converting in huge masses to hinduism, and not the viseversa, and this should be, as there is no morality to become a christian or muslim. i am a lady from Aligarh , and i was gangraped by rowdy muslim guys. i had gone to maulana , but he proved himself as bustard. he adviced me to marry that rapist , according to sharia rules. Then i decided to leave islam. i thought to be christian at that moment, but i foung the mother teresa missionaries, convert only due to superficial conversions, so i left that option

At last i contacted Bajrang Dal group, to get justice, they looked me as sister, and they gave me shelter and protection. Even they never said to become hindu for that price. Later , when i understood that VHP and Bajrang Dal had respect for other religion, but they opposed that there people not to be converted only because of money, so i found that hinduism is so broad minded and they only respect females. i found they worship lady as mother shakti, so i decided to convert to hinduism . I now daily chant gayatri mantra 3 times a day. Thanks to VHP and Bajrang Dal.
