Why India? - Indians Against Christian Aggression

 

It is not surprising that India has the most number of Missionaries. (Source: TIME)

 

You may wonder, out of all the countries in the world, why have Missionaries chosen to attack India? There are four simple reasons: India is a tolerant nation – In no country in the world is religious freedom available to people as it is in India. There are dozens of faiths which all co-exist. Israel has acclaimed India as the only country where Jews have not been persecuted. One of the lost tribes settled in India, and since then the Jews have built synagogues all over the country and are practicing their religion in total freedom.

 

When Parsis - victims of Islamic ethnic cleansing –fled Iran, then sought refuge in India, a Hindu King gave them shelter and ever since, they have been practicing, their religion in total freedom. There are hundreds of tribes who have their own unique religions and they are all free to do what they like. When China occupied Tibet in the 1960’s, India again took in hundreds of thousands of Tibetan Buddhists including the Dalai Lama, who to this day peaceful lives in India. In addition, India has for centuries peacefully hosted Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Jains.

 

However, Missionaries abuse India’s tolerant nature for conversion. Instead of peaceful co-existing with other religions as millions in India already do, instead they attempt to decimate all other religions through by conversion.

 

Hinduism is not a uniform religion – Unlike other religions, Hinduism is a religion with no founder, no leader, no commandments and no one God. Hinduism is more a way of life than a religion. Hindus accept all Gods as one, all religions as equal but different paths to God. Hindus are different from region to region, family to family. Therefore in this regard, Hindus are willing to hear the points of view from other religions. Missionaries abuse this tolerant and open-minded virtue of Hinduism for their devious purposes.

 

Access to India is easy – Technically by the Foreigners Registration Act, 1956, foreigners are permitted only to visit relatives and tour places and are forbidden from carrying missionary activities. However, in India, a vast nation with over a billion people, it is difficult to track Missionaries, especially in the rural environments where they usually operate.

 

In addition, Missionaries funded by Western churches and nations often bribe local officials to cover up their activities. For example, Revered Joseph Cooper of the United States carried out missionary activities for 11 years before he was expelled after raping a 12 year old Hindu girl. India is a poor nation – Missionaries operate in India under the guise of “charity” efforts when in fact they are simply “buying” converts through gifts and material items. In addition, by selecting a poor nation such as India, they can raise funding from unsuspecting people in other nations who believe they are donating to a genuine charity. By comparison, Missionaries can not work under the guise of “charity” and therefore have not been as effective in raising funds and converting in oil-rich Middle Eastern nations.

Some of the faults of Indians are :

 

1. My God is bigger than your God attitude.

Those who believes in Vishnu looks down on those who believes in Shiva (even in Malaysia) and vice versa.

 

2. Some sects from Vishnu believers divide among themselves and split from the mainstream. ISCKON comes to the mind and they even went to extend of bring in Christian beliefs and rejecting Hindusm.

 

 

3. No proper implementation of Gita.

Mainly because of above attitudes also. Some could think that by taking Gita as guide, one automatically follows Vaishanavas belief and rejecting Shivaism.

 

One main reason why Hindusm don't have a foundation IS because of this reason.

 

Christians have the Bible (no matter how corrupted it is) and Muslims have Al Quran. What do Hindus have? Who properly translate and educate the society about the Gita? Does schools teach Bhavagad Gita? No ... YET Christians have Sunday Schools and Muslims have Madrasahs. Who's fault is this? Muslims'? Christians'? Nope ... Hindus themselves.

 

And finally,

 

4. Indians are too lean against Christians, Muslims and Atheists to extend that they make you their Slaves and you are willing to follow them as Masters.

 

Just remember this - IF you accept and tolerate their teachings and beliefs, you HAVE indirectly saying to them that your beliefs is WRONG. Whether you believe it or not, they will think that you are leaning to them because Hindusm cannot support you. Stop leaning to others.

<< Stop leaning to others. >>

 

Yes, learn enough about Hinduism, and you will be proud you are Hindu, you have that ancient Vedic heritage. The other factor that makes one lean is the wrong tendency to not confront, attack verbally, or logically or physically if necessary; and just be a nice impotent guy/gal.

 

Know what you have Hindus, its value and worth, be ready to asert it.

The other factor that makes one lean is the wrong tendency to not confront, attack verbally, or logically or physically if necessary; and just be a nice impotent guy/gal.

 

Time to wage war with them physically is not here yet, but I don't think defending oneself is not against Dharma.

 

But to confront - verbally and logically IS very important. Many Hindus attend to shy off in debating with Non-Hindus about their religion. One reason is - they still have not ween out of the notion that Hindusm is nothing more than Purana Stories.

 

Personally, I don't think Hindus themselves understand just how much knowledge those Purana stories have.

 

Many Hindus pride themselves stating they are rational people and use that as excuse to call the Purana stories mythical but this same people don't use their rationalism to rationalize Hindusm.

 

Hindus who still love their Hindusm have an uphill battle here. They need to educate their younger generation with newer meanings to their Puranas and patch-up divided Hindus, ONLY then they can go and put their foot down to the invasion of Christians which continues to this day and also the idiocy which is Islam.

 

IF Hindusm is spread in wide area in India with newer, logical meanings to it, I personally believe it is enough to combat Islam out of India as people leave Islam and come back to Hindusm.
