This is a serious problem in the sub-continent. Its not about proselytizing its about the right to determine one's own religion. I witnessed this personally when I was in India and Nepal 10 years ago.
"Police raided Pastor Sam Oomen’s church on August 4 after a man who was baptised levelled charges of forced conversion and allurement.
“India’s growing anti-conversion movement puts the church in real jeopardy,” said Andy Dipper, the chief executive of Release International, an organisation which serves to protect persecuted Christians worldwide."
