Why do people choose to push their beliefs on others?

(I read recently of a breast tax in India, where, under British rule, Indian woman had to PAY
a fee if they wanted to cover their breasts) were won by the forcing - often violently

Yeah, your link was where I first heard of that strange law. I'd never heard of this law existing before (im still skeptical), but it's still a fascinating story:

"Kings of the time ensured the subjugation of the lower castes by imposing heavy taxes on them. Their wealth was built on some of the worst taxes imposed anywhere in the world. Besides the tax on land and crops, peasants had to pay taxes for the right to wear jewellery, the right of men to grow a moustache, and even the right of women to cover their breasts. The heavy taxes ensured that the lower castes were kept eternally in debt, while members of the upper castes flourished.

Nangeli was a poor Ezhava woman from Cherthala. Her family could not afford to pay the taxes and was in debt to the rulers. The tax collector, then called the parvathiyar, came to her house one day and demanded that she pay the tax. Nangeli cut off her breasts and presented them to the parvathiyar on a plantain leaf. The tax collector fled in fear, while Nangeli bled to death at her doorstep. Her husband Chirukandan came home to find his wife lying dead and mutilated. He is said to have jumped into her funeral pyre out of grief."

Anyway, the point was, forcing beliefs onto others isn't necessarily bad.

I dont buy in
