What cautionary advice have evangelists given that address Gandhi's concern about "Rice Christians"?

The Bible is about preparing ourselves for the life after this corrupted life, but at the same time also about making this life as good and easy as possible for us and others.
Charity/helping is not bribery. It was a direct attack against the concepts of dharma, karma, and Hindu caste system which forced the masses to accept their utter misery as a result of their past life/doings, and so they should accept and live in their atrocious circumstances forever. Today because of the fear of backlash from the Backward/Dalit caste parties/organizations, or fear of mass conversions, even Gandhi's followers do not speak of dharma, karma, and Hindu caste system, and instead are busy aping charity/education/empowerment.
In fact the impact of Christianity/missionaries is such that all other religions have abandoned much of their original concepts and are busy aping Christian concepts, or at least trying to align with it.

Rice Christians. Maybe Gandhi should have said Beef Christians.
I mean, I cried too when Pi killed the fish. [slipped-out]
Unfortunately or fortunately the Word of God is book of human-action,
unlike a calculus math book. Searching for facs/truth...
About "Rice Christians",
1) Christ Jesus healed many people,
which is recorded on the gospels of the new testament.
2) Christ Jesus helped anyone, Matthew 11:28,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
3) Not all who were helped said thanks, Luke 17:17
4) Nor all who were helped became Disciples, only about 120 left in Acts 1:15
Basically He came to give hoping the ones he helped would repent, Romans 2:4
About Culture Shock, the problem is Christ Jesus said in Matthew 28:19,
"... make Disciples of all nations". Which can cause kaos like you said.
So, Disciples of Christ Jesus make disciples everywhere like in Asia
and give [rest] to anyone [who is weary]. So I think.
About [pouring abuse on Hindus], well this about what someone/somebody did or say.
However, Romans 2:1-4 helps to point out that passing judgment comes around.
If I ever find a Disciple of Christ Jesus,
I would ask for a bowl of rice or two also :)
Thanks for reading.
