Of late, the overall
political scene in the country has suddenly turned hot on the issue of
conversion. So far it was going on silently. The missionary religions like
Islam and Christianity in particular
were having a field day in India. They applied all types of tricks and
allurements to lead the lower strata of the Hindu society to garden path to
come to their fold. Thus the Muslim population rose so fast that they carved
out two separate Islamic countries of
Pakistan and Bangladesh with over 400 million Muslims. In Kerala they forced
the state govt to make a Muslim majority area a separate district of
Mallapuram. Entire Northeast is almost converted to Christianity and these
neo-converts are so intolerant that they create problems for non-Christians.
The situation in the hilly belt of MP, Orissa, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal
is worse where the Christian missionaries with well established educational,
health and other institutions have
enjoyed a field day so far as the conversion is concerned.
To the dismay of these
missionaries, now the Hindus have realized that if they remained in slumber,
the 82% Hindus will be reduced to 42% in near future. The Christians and
Muslims took advantage of the Sanatan Dharm not giving entry to other
religionists. The Arya Samaj took a lead by starting the movement of
‘shuddhikaran’ under which a non-Hindu could be ritually purified and
readmitted to its fold. The Arya Samaj,
RSS and many such outfits spead in far-flung areas and started educating the locals
about their own great culture and
warning against misleading propaganda of others. Meanwhile it has transpired
that huge money is being pumped into missionaries in India by different
churches in the West to carry on large scale conversion.
The Hindu outfits know
that the present Muslims and Christians are all Hindu converts. So they are
reminded of their past and persuaded to come back. This call is called ‘ghar
vapsi’ (home coming). This has antagonized the above missionaries. Their job
has become tougher because they are not finding new preys easily and facing the
problem of keeping the old flock together. They charge that the Hindus are
doing so under duress. Arun Shourrie, the then BJP/MP had placed Christian
texts in the Rajya Sabha to prove how the illiterate and poor Hindus were cunningly
made Christians. The real cause of Cristian and Muslim anger is ‘I do, why
you”.
