Currently I believe we must put aside our differences among Hindus of different teachings.Unite  together to  inform our youngsters about the sin of converting from the birth religion. This must be the utmost duty of every Hindus. Those convert out fall into category of Anarya / Parya (outcast)
According Hinduism, conversion is sin.
1.Converting from the religion of birth is sin because during the birth, the God made the choice. The God decided us to be born to a particular parent of particular faith. Since we cannot change our  parents so do the religion of birth. It is God's will. God knows who supposedly to follow which path.

2.’En matham Shanmatham ' not  'emmatham sammatham
Religion is just a path to reach out the supreme God.  There is One God, But if Hindus think any religion is fine,It is WRONG .This is the reason many converted without realizing /feeling guilty . We need to relook into it deeper.  It supposed to be ' en matham Shanmatham ' not  'emmatham sammatham',  our Hindus confused with this two phrases.  Shanmatham refers to the main 6 religion namely Saivam, Vainavam, Shaktham, Ganapathiyum, Kaumaram and Saumaram.  Other than these are not in Hinduism fold. People misunderstood with emmatham sammatham,  converting as they like.It is sin.

3. Rebirth is part of Hinduism’s core belief.   It is believed each atma will go through the Samsara of 84000 lives. Among these 14 (some says 7) lives the atma will be born as human. Among the human lifes, one can be born into any of faith/creed of family.  Remember all the religions are from the same God.  But for this particular birth, you are chosen to be born as a Hindu. Everyone of us are the CHOSEN. So, we are supposed to fulfill the duty of the   given birth. Changing religion  means, you are violating His choice. It is sin.
4. Hindu Shastras have mentioned  conversions is sin.
a) Vyasa says in Mahabharata Santi Parva,
'..The rejection of one's own creed, the practice of other people's creed, .....is wrong .’

b) Bhagavad gita there is a verse, which conveys that Devotee should attain salvation in  a path which he is born ( as taught by parents) and not change paths. Those who change path will neither be happy nor get salvation.  ( Not applicable to tender young children)

c) Vedas ,it has been told to teach everyone in Arya Dharma/Sanatan Dharma/dharmic law. It is a way of life. Distracting from the way of life will be disobeying Vedas.

5. Our sages had opposed conversions.

Adi Shankara had fought against conversion.  He debated with Buddhist monks to revert them back to Hinduism. Adi Shankara,  is one of the important enlightened soul saved Hinduism  from  Buddhism ,many of Hindus were converted during the time. In order to save Hinduism , he debated with them, the loser had to follow the winner's teaching orders.  I don't see this as conversion , it is a move to revert back to Hinduism.   If it was a conversion, then it must be some kind of forced conversion. The question of why Adi Shankara went in to such an approach,  The reason is to save Hinduism from extinction. I am sure, Enlighten soul such as Adi Shankara  realized that divine love is beyond religion but he stand up to revert back them.  At current situation, are we going to  let go the conversion without any  interference?,  Did we realized ,if we never take a firm action, it will lead to our Hindu religion into extinction ? Even Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabu,Tirumular and many other sages have against conversion out.

6.Read Bhavishya Purana, during Kaliyuga, adharmic religion will appear. Conversion is allowed in that adharmic religion, so that it can help to increase the Kali purusha’s (satan)  descendants.Be Aware.

Practicing (sadhana) a religion and converting into a religion are two different things.  Hinduism believes all the religions are from the only Brahman.  Any of the path is leads to Him alone.  So it is not wrong to practice. Any one of the other religions can practice Hinduism or any path they like. But converting, changing from the birth religion into a new religion because of certain benefits and DENYING the earlier religion is wrong.  So that conversion is sin.

Parents need to tell to their youngsters that conversion is sin. Our elders never told us about this, maybe be they were in comfort zone or not aware about its implications. 

Hindu temples or Organizations have to educated on conversion as sin. 
Hindu speakers should avoid speak positive about other religions and telling our religion followers more negative,  avoid using positive examples from other religions. This indirectly promoting conversion out. 
At current situation, Hindus are not afford to pretend naive anymore. Or you are paving the way for our own religion’s extinction .
Wake up now. Awake your Hindu friends now.
