I went to a lecture a couple of years ago by a Sikh scholar, and he was saying that Christian missionaries are becoming quite active in Punjab, many Sikhs are converting, and churches are being built.

Why are so many Sikhs converting?

I think there are a lot of vulnerable people in punjab. We know there is a huge drug epidemic, poverty etc. And these people are very disconnected from society and Sikhi....and these missionary people seem to thrive on desperate people to propagate their proselytizing... There is also just a lack of understanding of Sikhi in general, even for those who do not want to convert- it requires a lot of study and contemplation.
