DR. AMBEDKAR ON CONVERSION
In his book “Why Conversion”, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar says that untouchability is a permanent feature of the Hindu society. In order to attain freedom from this evil practice, he urges the victims to establish close relations with other societies to embrace another religion. He concludes that conversion is the only way to achieve eternal bliss, for, by becoming a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Sikh, a convert will get the political safeguards of the religion of his choice. Doesn’t this sound very strange, seeing how the overwhelming majority of people in India are Hindu?
Is there a Christian, Sikh or Muslim who has willingly embraced Hinduism? Even if a person should decide to become a Hindu, which caste will he choose? He cannot - for sure - become a Brahmin for according to Veda, he has to die three more deaths. But would any Brahmin object to his becoming a Shudra? The answer to that question is no, because history proves that conversion to Hinduism was forced upon people, mainly by the sword. It should be noted that in today’s 1990’s society, the Indian government is currently trying to sway people into Hinduism via monetary coercion.
My My. I see that your heart is bleeding for Hindus Abdali. I suggest you go to the nearest place of pilgrimage and pray on behalf of oppressed Hindus. If you are short of funds, I suggest disposing off a month’s supply of your dope on open Market!!
wah! wah! As usual what a rebuttal

keep em comming we do need luffs
"Even if a person should decide to become a Hindu, which caste will he choose? He cannot - for sure "
you should be born as hindu,if u want to be a hindu,according to it conversion is big sin
which has no excuses,it does not say as other religions like allah is the only god or jesus is the only god
it does not have any rules to pray or to life
it says you live as you like happily,peacefully without doing any harm to other people
you could also post ambedkar's passage on why he did not convert to islam.
Why does the caste system that prevails mainly among the Hindus,
also exists in a subconscious manner amongst Christians and
Muslims in India (Pakistan and Bangla Desh)?
Despite Islam, Pakistani Muslims refer to themselves as Jats, Gujjars,
Rajputs, etc. For instance, Benazir Bhutto says in her book
'Daughter of the East', "In my veins runs the blood of a Wadhera".
Wadheras are a Rajput clan from Punjab and Sindh.
Caste also exists among Bangla-Deshi Muslims.
Indian Christians also are not free of caste. Goans and East
Indian Christains, still refer to
themselves as Bamons (Brahmins), Bhandaris, Kolis, Prabhus, etc.
Why is Caste so indelible that it can remain among communities who
now profess religions that decry caste distinctions.
Why is it that among Hindus caste is such a sticky factor that it refuses
to die despite the Constitution of India's ban of the system. Why do we
still have a Mandalization of Indian Politics and why many
centuries after the convsersion to Islam and Christianity do Muslims
and Christians are still observe a system they inherited from their
Hindu ancestors?
Well, Caste is like rascism. It's roots are based on a sense of one's own superiroty and other's inferiority. That sense always existed I guess even before Chimpanzees decided to walk and become Human.
Also Caste gives a strong sense of community.
Islam does give a sense of solidarity. Have you ever been to a mosque or a church?
For those few minutes everybody is one and equal beofre their GOd.
Ofcourse once they come out of that Mosque or Church they are back to square one.

Oh really so Dr. Sahib has been BSing and I wonder why Christian babies were incenerated is there a historical link.
You right I personally converted Mohammed Ali with a gun and other million in ameerika.
Perhaps you can cover the rest 1.2B how did they convert.
abdali do you think of those who did not convert to islam are anti-muslims?
Churches have a definite mission to convert to Christinity.
Yesterday i received a free copy of a 'Jesus' video; these guys have funds to their disposal..
anyway the point to note was the languages their literature was in included Hindi.
I guess they are after the huge Hindu population in South East Asia and see them as potential converts.

George Bush?
What caste did he chose??
Well, what are all these Hare Krishnas if not Hindus?
If you want celebrities, George Harrison, the Beatle who recently passed away considers himself a Hindu and wanted his ashes immersed in Prayag http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/harrison011203.html
Infact there may be more converts than you think.
But since they are quiet and civilized about it, just like the Religion they adopted
