The missionaries should know that the game can be played by both the sides.What i am trying to say that the Evangelists were long converting the gullible poor Dharmic masses by luring them with monetary benefits but it seems that the Dharmic organizations are catching up to them in this matter.Now the Evangelists are getting a taste of their own medicine and i am glad that the Dharmic organizations have finally taken an aggressive stance in this matter.
