“Hindus fall because they worship lesser gods.” Abrahamics are trampling Hindus. Can you help me understand?

To claim this, means the person belittles Hinduism and thereby exhibit to the world their own arrogance. Arrogance is known to blind people, this is obviously the biggest obstacle for Spiritual growth.
Knowing this, I need not talk to such people, as Spiritual blind people are not the guides I would look for

For now, but people are exposed to more ideas now, once everyone has a cell phone it's hard to stop progress and exposure to new ideas.

This is due to ignorance
To trample Hindus or to belittle Hindu Faith just demonstrates they belittle God, as all are "God's Children" according to Christianity
And to belittle God goes against Abrahamic Scriptures, hence they can't even be called Abrahamics

Yes and no. The report shows hindus maintaining their numbers. Islam is rising. Question is why hindus not rising?

Muslims tend to have a lot of kids. Mormons do too. Hindus are having much fewer babies.

Oh the trampling part. I believe we tend to trample on the beliefs but I don't notice many HIndus prostrating themselves before those notions.

I believe you are wrong about that but it would not surprise me if some people wandered off in the direction of emanation worship

I believe the Pentecostals calling it being slain in the Spirit. A person only rises when God gives them the strength to rise.

That
Because hindus are materialists. Women seek their own progress, not of the human species.Muslims tend to have a lot of kids. Mormons do too. Hindus are having much fewer babies.

I didn't know that.

By emanation I mean jesus Christ and hindu gods. They themselves say they are second to God.
What you know now is one person's opinion. Please don't believe one person speaks for all Hindus.
You keep using the term "God" and saying that Hindu gods are second to it without defining your terms. What are the characteristics of this "God?" Are we talking about the God of Abraham? Iswara? What or who is this "God" that you believe Hindu gods are second to?
Good question. Most Hindus I know see Siva, or Vishnu, or Shakti as supreme, one without a second. Good luck with this.
I have a good idea what the answer will be. I suspect an attempt to conflate the Abrahamic and Dharmic paradigms by suggesting the God of Abraham and Brahman are one and the same.
That's an educated guess, yes.
