Trad wing needs to have discussions on GW. Although Trads are generally opposed to inclusion/absorption & assimilation rn, as purity takes precedence (& understandably so!), no major faith has won demographics without conversion.
There is scriptural sanction for conversions.

RT @BharadwajSpeaks ji:
Composed in Northwest India, Devalasmriti recommends Santapana ritual to reconvert a Hindu woman who has been abducted,rαped & impregnated by Mlechhas. Devala says after Santapana "she becomes pure like stainless gold"

"Devala says that a man abducted and forced to live among Mlechhas becomes "purified" & gets readmitted by consumption of Panchagavya (cow urine,dung, ghee,milk,curd)
A Hindu converted & forced to eat beef etc is purified and readmitted into our society by Prajapatya ritual"

"So rampant were conversions of M's back to Hinduism that Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had to put a ban on this Gharwapsi practice in 17th century. He forcibly took away such Muslim girls who were converted & married to their Hindu husbands.4000 converted girls were taken away"

This is of course not the only instance of acceptance of conversions in history. We can examine conversions from the period of Heliodorus, to the spread of Hinduism & Varnashrama implementation in South East Asia as well during the Chola Empire.

Arya Samaj, ISKCON & Ramanandi Sampradaya are the current options.
We need an official, traditional consensus on conversion, acceptance of converts & GW.
This is important to win the Demographic war. Cauliflower talk is good on twitter but we have to look at the reality.
