In some way the modern spread of Islam can be traced to the formation of ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ in 1928 in Egypt, established by Hassan Al Banna. According to him “it is the nature of Islam to dominate all other religions and faiths”. This ideology spread like wildfire in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

The cultural gap between India’s adivasis and its metro elites is larger in many ways than the gap between people living in Delhi and New York. The victim often gets duped into thinking that she is headed for the good life of an Indian metro, and her parents are often hand in glove in selling her into such a scheme. The money given to the parents is a “down payment” to convert them, their daughter’s placement as maid being part of the transaction. Many churches also provide safe transfer of the girl’s monthly salary back to her parents, with a certain “donation” charged by the church for its services. All this is a package deal for “being saved”.
