gate his religion but there is no right to convert.
Whatever rights are there are for individuals.
However, the Christian missionaries activities
are a multi-national funded business enterprises,
with all the attributes of business, – marketing
methods, market share, cost of gaining a
convert, annual targets, profiling the prospective
converts, producing literature not only extolling
Christianity but derogating Hinduism, use of radio
and TV channel time for propaganda and more
demonstratably, holding kutamis (assemblies)
where thousands are mobilised from villages
through retainers and resident propagandists in
the villages.
In these kutamis, miracle cures are
staged get the gullible to convert by changing their
faith from Hindus Gods to Jesus Christ and Mary.
There are hundreds of European and American
funded NGOs operating in India. All of them act
as the fifth columns of Christian missionaries.
They are acting as sappers and miners of missionaries
to undermine Hindu faith and condition
the beneficiaries for conversion.
They are marketing ‘service’ in the
name of projects of reaching the unreached, share
an opportunity, empowerment of women, equity
and justice and so on. Alarmed by the most
open aggressive multi pronged propaganda and
inveiglement and thereby gaining converts, Hindus
are mobilising to assert their rights to preserve,
practice and propagate and defend their
religion from aggressions of the multi-national
conversion enterprises.
This is leading to conflict in every village;
even in homes because not all members in a
family are converted. A convert in a family is asking
for division of the parents’ property and do-

nating a portion of his land for construction of a
church. Such incidents are triggering the disruption
of families and disharmony in the Village. The
division and disharmony in the family appears to
flowing from the Gospel according to Luke in the
New Testament Chapter 12,
51 “Do you suppose that I came to give
peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather
division.
52 “For from now on five in one house
will be divided: three against two, and two
53: “Father will be divided against son
and son against father, mother against daughter
and daughter against mother.
What is most offensive is that the Hindu
scheduled caste people converted to Christianity
are trained, equipped and incited to most militantly
denounce Hinduism, forward cases and the propertied.
They are turning out to be Hinduism-denouncing
harvesters of other Hindus to Christianity.
Since they don’t officially proclaim to be Christians
but continue to be known as scheduled castes
as per government records, these militant converts
are tormenting the defenders of Hinduism
by invoking the Prevention of Atrocities against
Scheduled Castes Act.
Therefore the disquiet among Hindus
is increasing by leaps and bounds. What is happening
in Kandhamal of Orissa and elsewhere in
Karnataka will repeat with explosive force in
Andhra Pradesh also! If it is legitimate for Christian
Missionaries, Churches and such groups to
preach, propagate, convert and add numbers to
their religion, it cannot be illegitimate for Hindu
organisations to preach, propagate, defend and
protect Hindus from being converted and preserve
