1. They have keen desire to know about their religion & their identity
2. They do not get answer to their question
3. Our people are simple and not savvy, so they are unable to respond to the guiles of the Christians.
4. We do not have any preacher or Priest in the Valmiki Ashram
5. There is no regular preaching about our religion
6. We are making no effort to encourage the peoples who has a keen desire for the welfare of our community
7. We do not organise any religious conventions/ functions and seminars
8. Although have faith in Bhagwan Valmiki but know nothing about his great work- Still peoples are ignorant about great work of Bhagwan Valmiki for our community & about baseless stories woven around him

So why should we blame them for leaving their religion?

So at last I came to conclusion that it is our mistake, our community mistake that our own brother and sisters are leaving so to join another religion. So we have to make all the efforts on the coming days so that we do not loose them. We have to encourage all the religious activities and religious preaches were delivered to them.

Just some days before while talking to local peoples. Some Christians from our community also joined me. We started our discussion about Bhagwan Valmiki and Hindu Samaj. You cannot believe they left the chairs, turn off their shoes and sat below on the floor. Some of the peoples that there were not told all these before and in a hurry they joined the Christian religion as a new preacher was appointed in their village who was giving regular preaching in the Church. Just to know about . If someone already had made effort they would not have joined another religion. One of the boy told that he will change his religion back from Christianity to Valmikian. So this is my past experience while talking to some of my friends from the Christian community. Due to wide spread of Christian religion and other religion they turned to the same.

Views from our community :-

There are also other issues that lead to conversion. Our people are simple and not savvy, so they are unable to respond to the guiles of the Christians.

It will be uncivil of us to press the government to pass laws banning conversion. We are Hindus, we are a generous nation, definitely not mean people. We do not want to criticize people unnecessarily. However, we should talk about core issues like, are there any real benefits to conversion? I submit, No.

Christianity is a theological religion, which means it is a religion of the book. What the Bible says is the limit of Christianity. Bible says God cannot be seen. Therefore, no one goes for it. It is not a spiritual religion like Hinduism. Hinduism is about spiritual experience, seeing God.

Christians talk a lot about a 'personal relationship with God', but they make no effort towards meeting God in their life. It is simply not in their religion. They try to live up to the principles of the Bible in their life and HOPE that after death, Jesus will plead their case to meet and live with God in heaven.

That fact alone makes Christianity undesirable to me.
