<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->so lets get this sorted out first.... why does the south fall such easy prey to christians??
if i know right caste abuse and dalit movements are most entrenched in the up-bihar belt.
on the other hand south indians are known to be amongst the most to-the-word followers of hinduism and its do's and don'ts.
so how come the missionaries are having such a field day in the rice fields??<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The South never developed strong anti missionary traditions which is one of the reasons there are so many conversions, in the Northern states the Arya Samaj stemmed the tide while the South never had such a strong movement, there was one Jaffna tamil scholar and Saiva sant Arumuga Navalar who started reversing this trend in Lanka and Tamil Nadu, he wrote several critiques of xtianity but after his death there was no worthwhile effort in this direction.
