What ? How Much Have You Done for the Suffering Christians ? Saffron under Khaki Uniforms ? What Next ? Dear Friend in Christ, The RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal have struck again in Karnataka, Gujarat, Orissa & Ujjain - as of now. And it is not only the Christians, who are at the receiving end. The Muslims are too. In Mangalore, it was the Muslims, who rang the bells of the church, as the nuns, priests & Christians were being attacked. When I was in Orissa, we heard slogans like "pehle Issai, pher Kassai - first Christians, then Muslims" We now have proof of the attrocities by the "protectors" of the Hindu faith - The Saffron Brigade in Uniform - the police & forest officers. Must See Pics on www.thecsf.org thanks to our co-ordination with various websites. In Mangalore today, the president of the National Women's Commission Ms. Giriji Vyas had first hand proof of police brutality, where even nuns and women were not spared. In a fresh incident today, George Church at Ujire, Karnataka was targeted by miscreants. Fr. Joseph Valiaparambil, from Belthangady Bishop's house said that the Christian community of Belthangady was deeply hurt and shocked with the incident. The altar and statues of churches continue to be desecrated, with the police arrive late and taking no action. The Hindu radicals are trying to divide Christians into Catholics & Protestants, by saying that the New Life is involved. Then why target Catholic Churches or helpless cloistered nuns ? And why not complain or take action against those Christian fundamentalists, if at all they do exist ! After all it is the BJP in power.
Again today morning a battery of Forest Officers and Gujarat police descended on the village of Nandapeda near Ahwa in the Dangs, Gujarat. They pulled out the doors and the windows, pulled out the wooden ballis which support the roof; they pulled out wood from the roof of the huts of the villagers. The ATS rounded up a few people. Nandapeda is the only village with majority Muslim population in the Dangs district, considered the poorest district in the whole of India. The Narendra Modi government has been pressurizing the Muslims to convert to the Hindu religion or face eviction from their land. Some residents have moved the Gujarat High Court against the government's pressure of converting and changing their religion. Here is an SOS, to come together and offer support. Are you better off than the Christians being persecuted, then here is what we need :- 1) Emails & mobile numbers of those who join in, when possible. 2) Contacts of international Christian & human rights organisations. 3) Funds to bear expenses, as we believe the damage in much & it is just the begining. 4) Money is necessary for media, staff, travel, relief, printing, documentation, legal assistance... NB: God measures with a different yardstick. He won't ask what kind of car you drove, but how many people you gave rides to. He won't ask the square footage of your home, but how you raised your children and treated your family. He won't ask about the brand names in your closet, but who you helped to clothe. He won't ask about your salary, but how much you invested into the building of His Kingdom. He won't ask about your job title, but if you tried to perform with excellence and integrity. He won't ask how many friends you had, but how many people you were a friend to. He won't ask what neighbourhood you lived in, but if you loved your neighbour. He won't ask about your politics or the colour of your skin, but about the quality of your character. So don't just work hard, work hard for the right reasons!
