Dear Lauram Salvi, Do not try to misguide people by writing such articles. Hindus are 85% in our country and 95% in Orissa. All of them are peace loving people. We lived and brought up among themselves. They always hate terror.
But it is an open truth that some of the fundamental organisations are trying to brainwash youngsters who have little knowledge of the world and through them they carry out their evil missions. It Laxmanananda Saraswati was a peace loving person he would not have been issuing provocative statements against Christians. Why he was saying that Christians need to be wiped out. Why did he threatened Christians not to celebrate Christmas last year. Why he went in a violent march to demolish decorations put up by Christians for Christmas last year and initiated terror? I personally met Fr. Edward, Fr. Bernard and Fr. Thomas who miraculously survived in the attack. Fr. Edward was saying that he did not even see Laxmanananda Saraswati as his orphanage was more than 400 km away. The VHP leaders in his area had initially troubled him but he could win their hearts through his good deeds. They were my friends he said. Though one small girl came and informed him that he will be burnt he never cared. He thought why anybody will trouble him. He also said he never converted a single person in his 28 years of service. He was only running a leprosy centre and an orphanage for unprivileged girls. He was questioning that if it was not an organised terror how it was possible to spread at the same time at all places even up to his place which is more than 400k away? We do not know who killed Saraswati. If fundamental organisations blame Christians for his murder why can't some other person or organisation accuse that he was killed by the members of one of the fundamental organisations to initiate hatred and terror against Christians? But it is very painful to understand that just because of these few evil minded people the name of the large number of peace loving Hindu's get maligned. Also remember that missionaries are working in tribal areas for centuries together. If there was any kind of forcible conversion was taken place then there would have been at least 40% presence of Christians. But remember Christian population in Orissa is only 2% inspite major institutions, schools, hospitals are run by Christians. If VHP which is registered as a social charitable trust really cares his people and works for the upliftment of the Hindus and safeguard them then it should engage into such activities (Building institutions, schools, Hospitals etc) to get reputation in the society. Remember evil methods are exposed one day or other. Ancy
