India's religion cleansing

India, one of the most populous democratic, supposedly “global” countries, is on a rampage against Christians, forcing them to convert or else be killed, tortured, abused or forced to evict the lands. Neighbors become Hindu spies, Christian businesses and welfares are compromised. It's not surprising that some Christians in rural parts of India are forced to shave their heads as a sign of sacrifice and drink diluted cow dung as a sign of purification. Doing these acts apparently converts Christians to Hinduism, and they live in peace as part of a blissful Hindu community. In India’s lands there is religion cleansing.“Indians should convert or else.”

Not people could agree on their beliefs and most especially not all people could agree on religion. Coercion and brainwashing are not acceptable. It’s even a no-no in democratic nations. Not to mention, it’s so blasé. Persecution against religion is so outdated. It’s not even acceptable by any standards. The nation should realize they need to change perspectives and re-think their efforts. The Pope is reacting, the nations are listening, the world is watching. Maybe they should already rethink the whole “democratic thing." I thought they’re paced to conquer the world. How come they can't even tolerate difference in religion?
