Balagangadhara argues that hinduism is not a religion. He further argues that the only 3 instances of the object religion are xtianity, islam and judaism. He also argues that religion needs to spread in order to survive and in his study of xtianity he finds proselytisation and secularisation as its 2 arms to spread.
At this time in history, it is hard for islam to proselytise or secularise. It is left with the islamic womb in order to spread. Notice that within the xtian states, xtianity also tends to resort to the womb solution by constant attacks on abortion, family planning, homosexuality etc.
So we have 2 enemies with 2 different strategies. We will need to counter strategies. One to counter proselytisation and another for demographic warfare. We perhaps also need to change the terms of discourse.
GSub has argued well that proselytisation by itself is not a good counter strategy against demographic warfare. I dont know what but we will have to do better then that. At a minimum we have to make our country make a concious and well informed decision.

I believe only a frontal attack by Hindu society on Islam as a political ideology will be able to confront the demographic onslaught. Things such as the relative slowing rate of growth of muslims compared to the previous decades and the progressing forces of modernity are not enough to stop the on slaught. We should discuss, how that can happen and what will it take to convert indian muslim masses?
