Paramilitary Hindu group to restrict Christian conversions

 

 

New Delhi (AsiaNews) – The extremist Hindutva Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) movement and its frontal organization Dharma Jagran Vibhag (religious awakening department) have announced the decision to establish groups of armed youth, called Raksha Sena, in every village of the Central Indian tribal state Chhatisgarh, in order to stop conversions to Christianity. John Dayal, vice-president of the All India Catholic Union, an organization that unites 16 million Indian Catholics has strongly denounced this.

 

The birth of the Reksha Sena was supported by Dilip Singh Judeo, former Forest minister under Vajapayee’s BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) government, who was awarded the position for leading the violent Ghar Wapsi (“Return Home”) movement for converting the tribal Christian of central India to Hinduism. “At its peak,” Dayal explains, “ the Ghar Wapsi movement consisted of armed men, many of them from outside the state and most of them non-tribal upper caste activists, forcibly rounding up tribal villagers into camps where Judeo and other would wash their feet, while gunmen and bowmen watched, and tell them they were now Hindus.” R K Kamath, a journalist of Mumbai, documented this in the well-known report “Fishers of Men.”

 

At the meeting of the founding of the Reksha Sena, Judeo declared: “The operations of the Ghar Wapsi will continue, notwithstanding the problems that might come,” referring to the fall of the Hindu BJP government. Judeo communicated that the movement had already ‘succeeded’ to force some Christian religious sisters to give up their white habits and exchange them for saffron saris, the typical Hindu clothing. He also confirmed that the movement had forced some Christians to “do a rethink.”

 

He then invited the soldiers of the newly established Reksha Sena to “move into the interior parts of the country to check religious conversions to Christianity.”

 

“Although no official data is available,” underlines Dayal, “ reports say that between 5 and 20 thousand tribal Christians were converted to Hinduism under duress in the last 5 years.” Forced conversions have been reported in the four central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand. Sporadic activity of the Ghar Wapsi has been recorded also in Gujarat and in Orissa.

 

There is considerable concern over these developments in secular Indian circles. In the local elections of last December, the four states of the Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand voted out the Congress government and voted in the nationalist right and fundamentalist Hindu party, BJP, that alone governs the four states, and together with its ally, the Biju Janata Dal, rules Orissa. The four states are the laboratory of the infamous Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, funded by Indians living in England and United States, that distributes Anti-Muslim and anti-Christian propaganda, building Hanuman and Shiva temples and distributing arms to Hindus.

 

Illustrating the details of the formation of the new army, a high representative of the RSS, The Organizer, affirmed: “The Reksha Sena will operate on three fronts: religious awakening, economic prosperity and social security”.

If you think about Competition, you'll find it's same as bleeding conflict except for the less intensity. You needn't so much nationalism once the competitivity is strengthened.

I don't agree with the militant approach we Hindus are using to prevent conversions. It only puts Hindus in a bad light, and it makes it easier to convince Hindus to convert.

yes, it is wrong to force people to convert back from christianity, even if the christian missionaries are simply buying converts with food and other goods. that is not the Aryan way.

Even after getting slaughtered for thousand years, Hindus are still thinking in terms of public opinion, what the world might say and all that, instead of protecting oneself by force, if need be. Seems as if Hindus are getting exactly what they deserve. This is how Krishna punishes moronic races.
