    Samajawadi party in UP should complaint against BJP for converting Samajawadi, BSP, and Congress leaders. Presently in UP a notorious administration is run from the state as well as from the central. People should notice how Manipur was destroyed and ruined by these fundamentals against Minorities.

    By force or offering some materialistic or money and converting people is not correct .And that will not make any faith after they converted.After sometime these people change again for any other benifits.So many people are not up to the standard for living either poverty or any other issue.And our leAders are not working on it .They just give speeches and earn crores for themselves.

    I became agnostic when very young and continue to be one. I allways beleive Religion creates barriers and one upmanship and supremacist attitude. Though Religion proclaims that it is for everyone, the heart beats mostly for the fellow co religionists. Christianity has undergone lot of changes though. The 5 century old chriatianity which had thorough grip on masses is no more present. The church and state became different in europe. Churchs political hold loosened. Europe which controlled almost the whole world, except may be China & Japan began to grant independence to native countries. The christianity is spreading in Asia, Africa and is getting some foothold in the gulf slowly and stealthily as islam is loosening some grip. However christianity is little giving way to atheism and agnosticism in Europe and America.
