Husky, completely agreed. Also let us study how Japan avoided getting converted.
To operationalize the defence of Hinduism, I think the following steps should be taken, considering that I am not very hopeful to see a pro-Hindu government in some time to come.
a) first thing that needs to be done is to control, manage and leverage the media. No matter howmuch truth and content you, me and like-minded people have, since we dont have the backing of media, this information would not reach out to people.
b) making pseudo-Hindus real-Hindus. Traditionally, and I consider it a strength and not really a weakness, not ever Hindu was supposed to be very religious. It was a matter of choice. Religion was available when an individual was ready as per his cycle of Karma and Dharma. But now, the Christianism (and Ismalism) are targeting this Hindu population which is on the margins of Hindu religion. People who dont have deep roots into Hinduism are easy prey. So we need to really bring into Hindu fold all the marginal populace.
c) Swamis of different sects are who are doing and will do the (b). That is why christian missionary-backed media and governments are all out to molest or malign the Swamis. We have to safeguard the Swamis and their sects.
d) Unity. Hindus are least united. Disunity is one of the biggest tools in the hands to missionary. Stop infighting. All eastern religions must unite. No more debating amongsth Hindu/Bauddha/Jain/Sikh. Show tolerance and acceptance to all eastern faiths.
e) Create parallel infrastructure to missionary instruments. 'Social service', 'health care', 'education', 'financial support', etc are the tools they use in the backward and weaker sections of our society. Now that God has given back Hindus enough wealth, let us take care of our own weaker brothers and sisters. This will break the arms of missionaries. (Again, if there were a pro-Hindu governments, these NGOs can be checked. But dont count upon Govt).
f) Create superstructure of reverse conversions. Shuddhi movements must be started and faithfully carried out. They should have overall well-laid plan, and not just a flash in the pan.
