Either this is a very bad parody or this is real. I'm inclined to believe in the latter
The Indian girl, Saraa looked extremely uncomfortable and only relented to "converting" to Christianity because she was pressured to do so. She was basically led to that house under false pretenses and entrapped by these idiot teens who basically just wanted some kudos (with God?) for proselytizing to Saraa.
Also, the ignorance of Saraa's country and culture shows that these two girls are prejudiced. I only hope that Saraa stays away from these two and continue with her own practice, if I was her, I would have walked out as soon as they started to preach to me.
I'd love to see a followup to this video, a background story or something! Real? Hoax? What's the source? Are there more articles about this video?
UPDATE: Fortunately, it appears to be a Troll/Poe/Satire
This person, a gal who calls herself Eight13 made a response video but was told later that it was a troll/satire. However Eight13's response video is still up because she states that her point still stands.

yeah so she pissed me off.
sorry for all the fidgeting, i tend to do that when i'm angry.
i had this whole awesome speech planned out, but i lost it when i started recording, and this is what came out of it.
also, i had a lot of people talking to me about the whole untouchables thing, so i looked it up.
apparently the "untouchables" are considered to be the lowest class of people in india, who are born into that class and stay there their whole lives.

no, it's not what i thought it was when i was recording the video, but technically it's still extremely offensive. i would assume that no one enjoys being born into this class, and, assuming that molly actually did know about this group of people and wasn't just using the word because she heard it somewhere, she grouped all indians, including her friend (ex-friend by now, i would hope), into that class of people who are pretty much treated like scum by the rest of their own society.
in my opinion this actually escalates the severity of the racism used in molly's video. whichever way she meant to use it, it's still pretty damn offensive.

I GET IT, I GOT TROLLED.
or molly was just making an "intelligent" statement on how christians are perceived.
whatever.
i still don't think it's funny, and i still don't like the video. i still think it was offensive. but i'm tired of getting the same comments over and over again.
so, molly proved poe's law to be true. i don't really care, that's all she accomplished, aside from infuriating and offending several people. and maybe amusing those who did notice the tag and happened to know what it was referring to.
long story short, i'm tired of this whole situation. i'm not going to take the video down, because i feel that that would symbolize taking back my initial reaction - which i won't. i still feel equally as disgusted and frustrated as i did when i first watched molly's video. except now, it's for different reasons.
i would appreciate if no one treated me like i'm a complete idiot, as some people have been, thank you to everyone who hasn't, anyway.
i'm done with this; you won't hear any more from me on this subject.Troll satirists who make fun of stupidity tend to do stuff in a way for maximum troll effect. A regular satirist would do something THEN reveal the joke. Trolls, however, don't have a clear punchline for maximum annoyance. In other words, they rarely ever come out and say "YO! THIS IS SATIRE!" because, being trolls, they want to remain ambiguous because it drives people crazy. There's other videos where Saraa (the Indian girl) being proselytized and she doesn't speak out against the other two & just meekly submits to the pressure despite loathing it. If it was a normal satire, Saraa would just ditch these dorks but since she's kowtowing with no end in sight, it makes it more "trolly". There's folks in the comment section exhorting Saraa to stand up for herself.
Since these three are simply troll characters, it appears Saraa (possibly not even her real name) is in on it! These three girls are simply trolling while protesting religious zealotry & bigotry in a Sasha Baron Cohen-like way. I hate trolls but I don't mind it if it's done to prove an important point rather than "lulz" alone. Unfortunately, well-meaning people who are allies to the troll's point get sucked in as well, therefore trolling is not a good way to protest stupidity. "Protest" is simply an excuse to be a jerk.
I'll take trolling seriously as a satirical protest when they do this stuff on ONLY fundie websites.
