PRACTISE YOUR FAITH WELL AND STOP CONVERSION
Hindus must practise their religion more religiously to be able to withstand the constant pressure exerted on them by Muslims to convert to Islam in Islamic States like Pakistan. The very practise of daily meditation and chanting of the Ishta Mantra will work wonders in warding off these nefarious elements largely, for spiritual practice strengthens the will to withstand the negative pressures of life.
It is a pity indeed that Islam thinks Hinduism / Sanatan Dharma to be less in spiritual authenticity than itself, although, Hinduism gives equal recognition to all faiths including Islam. This imbalance has not been addressed ever with the result that one-sided conversion has carried on from Hinduism to Islam for a millenium, reducing the number of Hindus in the subcontinent and increasing that of Muslims. Unless conversion is stopped or equal conversion is allowed by Islam of its adherents to Hinduism, there remains no hope of amicable co-existence of these two communities. It is time for Muslims to mature and stop converting Hindus so that mutual trust may be won and peace prevail. After all, religion is but a way to reach spiritual perfection and the object of following one's faith ought to be that and not gaining in numbers which is a political game after all.
