More Indian Hypocrisy & Anti-Christian Bias

Friends,

Please share and publicize these incidents, which graphically demonstrate the hypocrisy and systemic anti-Christian bias of the Indian State, to your abilities and as you see fit.

The news article on Rajasthan quotes the lumpen “home minister” as portraying the incidents at Kota in February 2005 as a clash; as a matter of fact, what occurred was a series of terrorist attacks against a Protestant mission and against its personnel and guests, staged not only by the ruling Hindu fascists, but abetted by officers of state. I have altered the text to reflect reality.

Regards,


Lúcio

“Christian’s Meet In Goa Not Allowed”

Asian Age, Oct. 29, 2005. Page 4.

Panaji: Under orders from a Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the police disallowed a three-day Christian evangelical meet from taking place in a North Goa village, reports our correspondent.

Hindu activist groups, led by prominent R.S.S. members from the nearby Mapuca town, had threatened to disrupt the meeting, alleging that conversions were expected to take place. Protest groups held small meetings outside a temple near the meeting venue prior to its inauguration. END.

“Kerala Government Turns To Vaastu Shastra”

Asian Age, Oct. 29, 2005. Page 4.

[Vaastu Shastra and Feng Shui are the respective Hindu and Chinese superstitions regulating the orientation of things and structures. The Indian Constitution includes provisions that citizens must cultivate a “rationalistic attitude” and outlaws superstitions, a provision that, to the best of my knowledge has never been enforced — Lúcio]

Trivandrum: The Government of Kerala state is now hoping that the ancient Indian building science, Vaastu, will work wonders for all its troubles. Vaastu experts, who had suggested modifications to the Vidhan Soudha (State Legislature) complex in Bangalore to help the Karnataka Government, have apparently been called in to have a look at the imposing Kerala Legislative Assembly complex. They will also study the design and construction of the state INC Party headquarters. (I.A.N.S.) END.

“BJP To Bring Law Against Conversion”

Asian Age, Oct. 30, 2005. Page 2.

[Since the last two years or so, since the Hindu fascist Bharatiya Janata Party won the elections in Rajasthan province, India, and formed the government, Hindu fascist youth, particularly the Bajrang Dal, have, time and again, attacked Christians and Christian organizations without provocation. There has been no Christian attack against Hindus. I have re-edited the text of the news report. See also these links:

Jaipur: In order to curb the growing tension between Hindu organizations and Christian missions in the tribal areas of Rajasthan, the B.J.P. government has decided to enact an Anti-Conversion Law as early as possible. The Minister for Home, Gulabchand Kataria made a statement to this effect to senior R.S.S. functionaries who had organized a camp to convert tribal children to Hinduism.

Addressing the three-day cam, Kataria said that the new law will deal with an iron hand if anyone was found engaged in “forceful conversion”.

“The new law is aimed to stop any conversion to Christianity on the basis of bribery or compulsion,” he assured the Sangh Parivar. The issue of anti-conversion legislation came in context of the Bajrang Dal’s attack on the Emmanuel Mission’s personnel in the city of Kota in February 2005.

The camp was organized by Vidya Bharati, a Sangh Parivar constituent, dedicated to converting tribals to Hinduism. There were over eight thousand girls and boys from tribal areas collected at the camp. END.
