According to the Constitution of Nepal, no discrimination can be based on a citizen's religion. But is it true that conversion is illegal? or has that been reformed? I know religion is a personal choice, but we know so many instances of induced conversion. the missionaries target the poor/ "out-castes". But they do provide them with assistance, be it social or economical. After the late pope's visit in 1999, the emphasis to make Asia more Christian has been heightened. And missionaries are increasing everywhere, esp in our part of the world. Isn't that rather condescending, Nepal being the one and only hindu nation in the world.. pressing on the need to make the sub-indo continent more catholic??????? Do you really think the missionaries are containing themselves to their actual preaching or are they appointing themselves as the "rescuers" of the lost and the ignorant? (which would make me so angry)
