Two accounts given. The first one does not make it clear, by any means, that the money given for education, housing, etc. has to be returned if the husbands do not convert. Yes, in that particular case, but more evidence is needed. I see in the second example they attributed this coercion to one man doing it all. That is what the article said so is that a good representation of how Christian missionaries operate in India?
I am sure I can find many articles or documentation how Christianity is being persecuted in India in many ways and violently often enough. And yet, missionaries remain, the care given is vast, and the numbers of converts continues to grow. Same for far more dangerous countries like Muslim countries, like Asian countries. In Africa, the growth is exponential year after year. Are you suggesting it is all done with the lure of a meal or by lying about the faith? I seriously doubt it for many reasons.
This is what Wikipedia reports under the subject “Forced Conversions” with respect to Hindus and Christians specifically in India. Hardly sounds like anything close to the norm given the larger scope of the endeavor.
Forced conversion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christians in India
The Baptist Church of Tripura is alleged to have supplied the NLFT with arms and financial support and to have encouraged the murder of Hindus, particularly infants, as a means to depopulate the region of all Hindus.[28] In 2009, the Assam Times reported that about fifteen armed Hmar militants, members of Manmasi National Christian Army, tried to force Hindu residents of Bhuvan Pahar, Assam to convert to Christianity.[29]
A few Christian evangelists in India have been accused of forced conversion of Hindus, and some of them have been for allegedly converting others by force.
Hinduism
Indian Christians have alleged that "radical Hindu groups" in Orissa, India have forced Christian converts from Hinduism to "revert" to Hinduism. These "religious riots" were largely between two tribal groups in Orissa, one of which was predominantly Hindu and another predominantly Christian, over the assassination of a Hindu leader named Swami Lakshmanananda by Christian Maoists operating as terrorist groups in India (see Naxalite). In the aftermath of the violence, American Christian evangelical groups have claimed that Hindu groups are "forcibly reverting" Christians converts from Hinduism back to Hinduism. It has also been alleged that radical Hind groups like Vishwa Hindu Parishad have converted poor Muslims and Christians to Hinduism against their will and through allurements.

Christianity is not, by and large, anything about forced conversions. Some have erred, but very few. It is mostly about taking great risks with their own lives to first help others with their most basic needs to sustain themselves. And only then to share the gospel with them for their spiritual needs. If they refuse to accept Christ they are not driven away. That I believe.
