<span>Indians
had a lurking suspicion that they would be converted to Christianity
under the new regime. The fear was largely due to the activities of some
of the activities of some Christian missionaries who openly ridiculed
the customs and the traditons of both Hindus and Muslims.The English
also established Chapels and Churches for propagating Chritianity at the
expense of the government. Even civil and military officers were asked
to propagate the gospel. The religious sentiments of the people were
further hurt when a tax was imposed on property held by temples and
mosques. </span>
Interest groups use various strategies; the inside game (lobbying) and the outside game to influence government. Lobbying attempts to influence all officials working in the three arms of government, and the federal bureaucracy.
Lobbying the Legislature
Interest groups spend millions of dollars on lobbying members on the Congress on some issues. They try to affect the legislation being generated in the Congress.
Lobbying the Judiciary
Interest groups work to influence the court system in several ways. Interest groups file amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs, presenting an argument in favour of a particular issue and sometimes file lawsuits against the government.
Lobbying the Executive
Although some lobbyists get direct access of the president, Interest groups target regulatory agencies which are lower levels of the executive branch.In the outside game, Interest groups attempt to convince ordinary citizens to put pressure on their government representatives through grassroots activism and electoral strategies to achieve their goals.
