Every
Hindu is the inheritor of the only surviving Spiritual
knowledge
Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844-1900), German philosopher:
"I
call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic
depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no
expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean,
petty-I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind.
In
Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact
with reality at any point."
(Addressing anti-semitic Christians) You who hate the Jews so, why did you
adopt their religion? One
does well to put on gloves when reading the New Testament. The
proximity of so much uncleanliness almost forces one to do this.
Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.

What
made Hindus angry in Karnataka
Tolerance has its limit: The media has crossed limits of all
decency, honesty and ethics in India.
"The
Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the
world evil and ugly."
-
Friedrich
Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher.
***
 I
was born in a Catholic family. My uncle was a priest, a
wonderful man of warmth and compassion and I spent most my early
years in Catholic boarding schools. When I was young I wanted to
become a missionary and to ‘convert’ pagans in
Asia
. What I was taught by priests was that
Hindus worship false gods and they needed to be
brought back to the True Word by Jesus Christ.
Then
of course, I came to India and discovered that actually Hindus,
far from being the heathens, as had been portrayed in Europe,
not only believed God’s diversity, the wonderful concept of
avatar, but had given refuge to all persecuted minorities of the
world, whether the Syrian Christians, the Parsis, the Jews
(India is the only country in the world where Jews were not
persecuted), the Armenians, or today the Tibetans.
I
am also aghast at the one-sided coverage by the Indian media of
the Christian- Hindu problem: blasts after blasts have killed
hundreds of innocent Hindus in
Varanasi, Delhi, Mumbai train blasts, Jaipur, etc. Yet, neither Manmohan
Singh nor Sonia Gandhi have
pronounced once the word ‘Islamic terrorism.’ But
when furious Hindus, tired of being made fun of, of witnessing
their brothers and sisters converted by financials traps, of
seeing a 84-year-old swami and his Mataji brutally murdered, of
reading blasphemy about their Gods, vent their anger against
churches, many of them makeshifts, the Indian government goes
after the soft target which the Hindus are. The same
thing applies to the United States: they never warned Muslim
organisations in India about the killing of Hindus, but when
dollars are used to buy new converts and it angers the majority
community of India, Washington has the
arrogance to issue a warning, and
Manmohan Singh does not have the pride to tell the US to mind
its own business.
Neither
the Indian press nor the western correspondents bothered to
write about what made Hindus angry in Karnataka: Newlife,
one important Western funded missionary centre (http://www.newlifevoice.org),
began making conversions in and around Mangalore by accosting
poor people in market areas, or in bus stands, befriending them
and then taking them to churches to introduce them to the
father. Upon introduction they were paid Rs 2,500 per person and
then taken to the Velankanni shrine, in Tamil Nadu, where they
would get another Rs. 3,000. When they finally converted to
Christianity by changing the name, they got an incentive of Rs
10,000 onwards. Newlife would then give them instructions to
abandon wearing tilak on forehead, not to visit and offer
prayers at the Hindu temples, replacing the photos and idols of
Hindu gods and goddesses with a Cross, etc.
But
what really angered local Hindus was when Newlife went one step
further and published a book in Kannada — Satya
Darshini — which was widely distributed by its
missionaries. Here below is the translation of some of the most
abusive passages:
“Urvashi
— the daughter of Lord Vishnu — is a prostitute. Vashistha
is the son of this prostitute. He in turn married his own
Mother. Such a degraded person is the Guru of the Hindu God
Rama. (page 48). When
Krishna
himself is wallowing in darkness of hell, how can he enlighten
others? Since
Krishna
himself is a shady character, there is a need for us to liberate
his misled followers (page 50). It was Brahma himself who
kidnapped Sita. “Since Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva were
themselves victims of lust, it is a sin to consider them as
Gods. (page 39). When the Trinity of Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiva) are consumed by lust and anger, how can they liberate
others? The projection of them as Gods is nothing but a joke.
(page 39). God, please liberate the sinful people of
India
who are worshipping False Gods. (Page 39).”
Then
blasphemy and much worse is brought against the most sacred
Hindu Gods, Hindus are supposed to take it meekly as sheep and
let themselves be converted to a foreign religion!
There
are more than 4,000 foreign Christian missionaries involved in
conversion activities across different states.
Christian
Evangelists, NGOs and INGOs hate anyone or anything being
nationalistic.

In
Tripura, there were no Christians at the time of independence.
There are 1,20,000 today, a 90 per cent increase since 1991. The
figures are even more striking in Arunachal Pradesh, where there
were only 1,710 Christians in 1961, but 1.2 million today, as
well as 780 churches! In Andhra Pradesh, churches are coming up
every day in far-flung villages and there was even an attempt to
set up one near Tirupati. Christians in
India
like to say that they are only two per cent and can do no harm. But
it is a sham: in the Tamil Nadu coastal belt from
Chennai to Kanyakumari, there must be now 10 per cent Christians
posttsunami and the same may be true in other parts of south India. My heart goes out to Karnataka
Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa who took a courageous
stand against unethical Christian conversions, but is now under
pressure from the Centre.
And
ultimately, the blame must fall on Hindus: they are 800 million
in India, the overwhelming majority; they have the brains, they have the
money and they have the power. But either their intellectual and
political class sides with the minorities, out of fear,
inferiority complex imbedded by the British or just sheer crass
political opportunism, or the bigger mass is indifferent inert,
selfish, un-civic conscious.

Hindu is the inheritor of the only surviving spiritual knowledge

Ex-nun's
confessions set to rock
Kerala
Church
 ‘Amen
— an autobiography of a nun’, released last week,
is written by Dr Sister Jesme,
52, who was the Principal of St Mary’s
College, Thrissur, till last August when she quit the
Congregation of Mother Carmelite (CMC).
“Dedicated
to Jesus”, Amen is explicit in its details of the sexual
repression and harassment behind the Church walls as well as the
draconian rules and “greed” of the Order. Jesme claims that
since the book was released, she has been getting calls pledging
solidarity.
Apart from
the Abhaya murder in which a nun and priests are accused, the
Kerala
Church
was recently in the news for a priest “adopting” a 26-year-old
woman. Jesme’s autobiography includes a poignant version by her
of how the convent authorities tried to twice prove that she had
mental problems and get her admitted into a rehab centre after she
reportedly spoke out against the malpractices within the Order.
Starting with her first days in the Church, 30 years ago, she
talks of priets forcing novices to have relations with them and
the closet homosexuality within nun ranks, “which the Church
reckons as the dirtiest thing possible”. “If nuns developed
unusual interest in each other, authorities would deploy other
inmates to watch them,” she writes.

India’s fear psychosis
Hindus
are ashamed
to declare ourselves as Hindus lest we are mocked at as
communalists.
When
will
India
stop living in fear and wake up to the fact that it is on its
way to be a great power in tits own right? We are afraid to
defend our own rights. We show lack of self - confidence. We
allow ourselves to be exploited by all and sundry unprotestingly.
We go out of our way to please - some would say pamper -
minorities. We hesitate to hang a terrorist responsible for a
murderous attack on our Parliament because he is a Muslim.
 We
are unwilling to take on the Students Islamic Movement of India
(SIMI) because our Intelligence Services haven’t enough
evidence to ban it. Indeed, politicians like Lalu Prasad and
Mulayam Singh Yadav have gone to the extent of defending SIMI as
a harmless organisation. Recently columnist Tavleen
Singh wanted to know why Kashmiri Muslims are allowed
to commit treason and to take out a procession flying Pakistani
colours, in addition to demanding secession. The government has
no answer.
One
of the world’s richest evangelic outfits, World
Vision India, is allowed freely to operate in Khandhamal, Orissa
and carry on conversion with impunity,
on the grounds that no force is used. The evangelists hurl the
Constitution in the face of the government and get away with
their well - planned intentions. We - the Hindus among us - are
ashamed to declare ourselves as Hindus lest we are mocked at as
communalists.
In
a recent issue of Dialogue Quarterly ( Jan - March 2008) Francois
Gautier, a distinguished French journalist stationed
in India noted that while as a young student in France he was
taught in his school about the “ greatness of France,
greatness of Christianity”. Let any school in
India
start teaching about the “greatness of Hinduism” and the secularists
would shout murder.
In Indonesia
which is a predominantly Muslim country, Lord
Ganesha is held in high reverence to the point that
his image is etched in currency notes. Let
India
do it and there will be hell to pay. Our secularists will take
strong umbrage. We have to satisfy ourselves with a portrait of
Gandhi and one has to thank God for small mercies.
Then
there is the question of the United States
refusing a visa to Narendra Modi who
is an elected Chief Minister of a State. If,
in the future, Modi becomes the Prime Minister or even Home
Minister of India, will the
US
continue to refuse a visa to him? He is charged with
contriving Killing of Muslims during the Godhra riots.
Can we
charge Henry Kissinger with wholesale
Killings of millions in
Vietnam
and on that basis refuse him a visa? Can a similar
charge be made against George Bush for
the killings still going on in
Iraq
?

America
’s record in that country (Iraq) is hardly a glorious one.
The
trouble with India
is that it is not assertive enough. It literally invites a slap
on its face. Aliens use our Constitution to our own
disadvantage. We must disabuse ourselves of the self-denigrating
attitude that to be gracious to our enemies or recalcitrant
friends is according to the highest standards of behavious set
by Mahatma Gandhi. This only betrays our lack of self - respect
and is reflective of cowardice. We must learn to take on anyone
whether it is China, the United States or Raj Thackeray or Project
Joshua, the last being the largest,
most pervasive global evangelical network ever to exist,
which is playing havoc in India’s
tribal areas. It may be smart - alecky to make a
sophisticated distinction between ‘propagation’ and
‘conversion’ but for India
not to be aware of what is going on can only be described as
pusillanimous. The evangelists are taking the government for a
ride. Evangelists must be banned and Delhi
must have the courage to do so. In this matter it can take a
lesson from
France
and from China.
In
trying to get a pat on the back from foreigners we have been in
the past selling our heritage. Let foreigners say what they
will. We need not succumb to their treachery. As President
Franklin D. Roosevelt said in a classic address, the only thing
to fear is fear itself. The world may
not love us but it will respect us if we are strong and self -
assertive. It is not secularism to succumb to evangelist double
- speak or look the other way from minority terrorism and misuse
of constitutional niceties. Unless India
regains its national manhood it will be regarded as a push -
over and an effete nation that lacks the courage of its
convictions - if, that is, it has any.

“The
great human tragedy of the missionary conquest of the Pacific is
being repeated now in all ‘untouched’ parts of the world. In
another thirty years no trace of aboriginal life anywhere will
have survived. Many Christian missionaries have perpetrated the
destruction of native cultures through their ruthless and
relentless practices – from the stripping of forests and theft
of land to the wholesale enslavement of populations."

Quattrochi
Brigade or the Left the
Hammer-and-Sickle Brigade? Anyone?
To
anyone for whom the print and electronic media were the only
sources of information, it would seem that the Hindu fanatics,
behaving like dreaded terrorists, had been making killing fields
of both Orissa and Karnataka, by indulging in murderous attacks
on Christian minorities, and the destruction of sacred religious
places.
The
emerging picture of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Vishwa
Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal -- all subsumed under the
pejorative rubric Sangh Parivar or the Saffron Brigade (why not,
by the same token, call the Congress the
Quattrochi
Brigade or the Left the
Hammer-and-Sickle Brigade?).
In
short, the impression given is that swarms of totally insane
thugs are on a rampage without any provocation
Original
sin
All the
reports and commentaries that I have seen on the disturbances in
Orissa and Karnataka, neatly sidestep the original sin and the
consequential long-simmering discontent among the Hindus. They
make it look as if the attackers, who were readily assumed to be
members of the 'Saffron Brigade', were madly running amok
without any justification. Reams have been written and billions
of sound bytes have gone on air describing in lurid detail all
that has happened to the churches and the Christian community,
with no equal space given for the real cause of all the trouble.
Swami Lakshmananda
was a revered figure in Orissa who was engaged in service to the
weaker and vulnerable sections of the population. Allegedly,
the local Christian votaries of conversion saw him as a thorn in
their flesh.
Extreme
provocation
Similarly,
as regards Mangalore and Bengaluru, those who are quick to
castigate the state government gloss over the extreme
provocation contained in an obnoxious pamphlet, Satya
Darshini,
in Kannada language, circulated in the name of an
outfit called the New
Life
Church, scathingly scandalising Hindu gods and goddesses in the
foulest of language.
I want to
ask of the holier-than-thou commentators to place their hand on
their hearts and tell me whether similar scurrilous
observations about what is regarded as holy and sacred would be
tolerated by any community anywhere in the world. Suppose
someone were to write and distribute similar things about other
gods and their messengers, will not the whole of
India
be convulsed by the mother of conflagrations? Will not the
intellectuals and professed secularists then be trumpeting only
the atrocious nature of the provocation, without saying a word
on the massacring of innocents in every city at the hands of
hooligans?

India
is a country where the

SECOND LARGEST land owner in so called Hindu India.
Why
are monotheistic traditions (Christianity and Islam) unable to
live in peace in pluralist societies? Post-Kandhamal,
post-Mangalore, the issue of conversions has taken centre-stage.
"Christians are a persecuted, hapless minority";
"How can a minority that accounts for less than 2.5% of the
population pose a threat to the 84% Hindus of the country?"
is the general refrain. "If
Christian missionaries had been indulging in large-scale
conversions, how has the Christian percentage remained virtually
static in the last two censuses" is the seemingly
compelling argument.
The
World Christian Trends (2001) has placed the number
of persons affiliated to the Church in
India
at 62243546 or 6.1%. In short, the number of Christians in India
is nearly thrice the official census figure! The document places
the share of crypto-Christians in the total Christian population
at a staggering 62%! So
why do so many Christians in India
conceal their faith, given that the rulers are
Christian-friendly?
