Just going to paste stuff from that link:
And interesting that the very religion (Hindu) always accused of persecuting Buddhism, Jainism etc. by dubious hysterians is not just the one that's actually been on the receiving end, but also the one that accepts persecuted populations of all sorts into the land and lets them exist in peace.
So India welcomed the Bonpos - who were persecuted out of Tibet by Buddhism - and gave them room to be. How very Hindu. And I bet Hindus didn't missionise among the Bonpos, just like Hindus don't missionise among the Tibetan Buddhists who have refuge in Bharatam either. It's called Live And Let Live. So what was all this about "compassion" that Buddhism/... "invented" and "introduced"? Seems like the Hindu Dharmic religion is the more innately compassionate in practice and outlook and didn't require the alleged lessons in this from other Indic traditions. Perhaps other Indic traditions are not necessary to explain the existence of compassion in old traditional religions? Excess violence against other creatures is not condoned and even discouraged in traditions outside India also. (It's a miracle! Or rather, seems like common, humane sense to me.)

my opinion is this:
there are 3 types of hindu believes
1-Animistic,the favorite variant of Husky.They worship gods just for the sake of it.Its nice to have a powerful friend to talk,the festivals and rituals are nice and intersting,occasionaly the gods can help you to win some money or health.
2-Thoose preocupated whit escaping the self from the sufferince of reincarnation,in more vulgar way to speak,the soul-saving believes.There are buddhism,vedanta,shaiva,tantra and vaishnava.This are my favorites because they learn methods to escape from afterlife suffering.
The 2 type soul-saving schools are way more important for me and they need to missionarise to the whole world.An least if you believe that only indians have a soul that need to be save.Thats sound selfish.
Missionarising is a good thing ,because you help others to live a more suffering-free life and hopefully afterlife.
The problem whit christo-islamic is that they teach the wrong stuff,just like nazi or hitler-adepts are doing.
If i missionarising for womens rights or for freedom of speech i think is a good deed.
If it was after me,i will translate all the ways of soul-salvation in the major languages,organise nicely in a list and spread around the world.Then each individual will choose the salvation way that he think is right for him.
The Husky way to see religion ,from a aesthetical or terestrial benefit,is from my point of view,incomplete.
