George, This is an obvious dangerous manipulation of the facts by the other political side in this mess. That is why it is doubly important for responsible organizations to report the facts on all sides rather than promote a partisan agenda. It is a pity therefore that the religious entity in Goa chose to present a one-sided picture that served their own agenda and purpose.
This tribal area apparently is a hotbed of aggressive conversion and re-conversion efforts by both Christians and Hindus. Imagine two major religions literally battling with each other in the same battlefield to indoctrinate people in their competing esoteric versions of afterlife - simple people whose entire central concern is basic necessities such as food and shelter in this one life that they struggle to live.
