I am pro-Hindu and anti-Hindutva

The followers of LK Advani – our failed Prime Ministerial candidate and the current Leader of the Opposition – are discussing how fiend and anti-Hindu I am (read here). I wished they discussed my other disputable articles, but the one they have taken is the lowest of an editorial I have written.
Victim of anti-Christian violence.
I am sure many of you remember this blog article of mine (read here) “Love letter to a Hatemonger” which was a response post to an anonymous threatening letter I received months ago. There is many such piling up in my inbox lately due to my direct assault on Hindutva and its mascots.
There was a time when I thought Christians must remain silent and prayerful as the Sangh Parivar and Hindutva fanatics continue making a ruckus. Unfortunately, that dint help. I doubt if Christians were keeping their good spiritual morals by not opposing what is bad and voicing for what is good. We all saw what happened in Kandhamal last year. Scores died and at least 50,000 were left homeless after the baseless allegations of fanatics on conversion and missionary evangelisation.
The Sangh Parivar which believes in the Hinduisation of India, with its divisive and parochial views have caused chaos by inciting decent Hindu youths to wage a war that is never theirs. The result is: Hindus are being portrayed chauvinist and barbaric by the western media. In a nutshell, I should say my assault on Hindutva fanatics is only exonerating Hindus while indicting the miscreants. You can may be call me pro-Hindu and anti-Hindutva.
These illiterate fanatics will cause more mayhem if we stand mere spectators while doing nothing. The world must know the ugly side of these fanatics, and Hindus specially must be freed from this brainwashing. They make a hullabaloo if a pastor is preaching in his church or a missionary is seen involving in social service. The Indian Constitution has given the right to practise and propagate one’s faith. Alright let’s say we do not bring constitutional clauses here at all, without them let me prove if I can extricate Christians. If you want to debate and prove me wrong, here is your chance; I am ready to shut down my blog.
From recently the freedom of religion has been curbed and hundreds have been murdered on many anti-Christian cooked up charges. The allegation prominently made is – Missionaries convert masses. A Christian activist recently had posed this question – Christians in their schools educate over 15 million students every year. But, is there a single evidence to prove even a single student has been forced to convert? The Christ spirit emanating from Christians have led them to be the second largest health care institution after the govt of India. Being the miniscule, salt of India, Christians have stupendously contributed, but what they get in return is being branded “European descendants” and being made an outcast. Just because Britishes colonised India doesn’t mean Christians are their colonial leftovers. Christianity came to India even before it reached many European countries. The saddest part is Europe is losing God and it needs Christians from India to remind them of Gospel.
Alright let us keep Europe and Christianity aside, what about Hinduism, it was never propagated? Dint Hinduism spread to Malay, Cambodia, Annam, Sumatra, Bali etc? Buddhism which began in India spread to China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, etc. Christianity from Israel went to Europe and America. So is propagating faith wrong? Now to the other allegation of receiving foreign funds for conversion. Many are still unaware that all the foreign money coming to India is being strictly monitored by the FCRA. Even the money which is being received is used for social services. Over 24% of social services in the country are run by Christian groups. They also run 40,000 educational institutions. It is not a joke. None has achieved this. In US and Europe Hindus are building temples and raising money which is sent to fanatic groups like the Sangh Parivar. They subsequently use this to conduct attacks and buy weapons to use against minorities. India will be in shambles under their rule. Read what the Liberhan Commission wrote against the Sangh Parivar after years of investigation – read here.
The Sangh Parivar is nothing but the reincarnation of Taliban. They still live in Stone Age. It is time Hindus bid adieu to these fanatic groups. It is time for secular and democratic India to play its role. Proselytizing is wrong, but propagation of faith isn’t. If Christians are continued to be burned and hacked, the ones to be in loss would be Sangh Parivar. They and their children’s future will be crippled without the catalyst role of Christians. Let us pray that God can heal the wounds of thousands of victims and widowed woman. May another Kandhamal never repeat. It is like-minded WE who should sensitize the people and build peace. Adios ~ SAM

I do not oppose to a single thing what you said Sam. We are really grateful to the contributions of Christians in our country. And violence whoever commits must be condemned. Let it be Hindu, Christian or Muslim. No religion teaches violence. Also, I think Sam you dint mention the Babri Masjid demolition that is also very important to prove the evil fanatics. You should try to include violences of other religious communities as well.
I urge the Christians to reclaim non believers in Europe and North America before proselytizing India.
More and more people in the west are renouncing religion because of minimalistic ideas in the Bible and the whole conspiracy about Jesus’s lineage.
All converted Christians in India are still culturally Hindus. They celebrate Diwali, they consult astrologers, they wear mangal sugtra, bindi, metti everything. They even attend Carnatic music concerts. Some of them are even performers and whole heartedly sing and praise the Hindu gods, especially Rama, Krishna, Devi (Sakthi), Subramanya, Saraswati and Vishnu.
Already, many converts use the money offered for conversion and reconvert to Hinduism
Thanks for urging Christians to reclaim non-believers in Europe, we are doing that. Christianity has transformed many barbaric communities in Europe and is still doing…proud about that..
Also, Christian population in India has only gone down since 1950, so no proselytizing as alleged. Lastly, you either get conversant with the Bible or stop talking gibberish. Your palaver hogwash only draws self-pity.
Christians are the salt of India. Without Christians like Sam said this country would be in extreme poverty, sickness and illiteracy rate would climb up. I strongly feel that Christians must join politics and voice for the poor and persecuted. We rarely have any representations there. All corrupt Sangh politicians.
Sangh Parivar is needed for Hindus to survive in India. You people are a menace to our society and this menace can only be dealt by people like them. The next time I tell you Congress will not win majority. BJP will rise again and come in power. Let us then see what happens to all of you.
Christians and Muslims without question are part of India. Any violence against them like Kandhamal must be denounced. I want to apologise to all the victims of this violence.
Go to hell dudeeeee your post makzz no senszzzzzzz.
