So says a leader of a Hindu organisation in South Africa.  His remarks have provoked a major controversy among Indians at home and abroad.

Thillayvel Naidoo, an executive member of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha and a Tamil linguist, made the remarks after a Christian convert, Deena Muthen, urged people to maintain their language and culture even if they convert.
. . .
But Naidoo said Muthen's comments were "tricks" to entice gullible people to convert to Christianity.

"Those who reject their religion lose the right to be completely Indian. He (Muthen) is distracting people with his Tamil preaching and hymns. Just because he preaches in Tamil does not mean anything, and I condemn it," he said.

Militant Hindu fanatics have made life very difficult for Christians in India, but Hindus continue to repent and believe in Christ and the church keeps on growing.  Is Mr Naidoo’s remark a sign of increasing desperation on the part of Hindu leaders?
