Dear Friends,
With all respect to Dhruv Da it seems correct to reply peacefully when I am
addressed on a public forum.
We may agree that all missions are not social enterprises. Still I have
respect for the Ramakrishna Mission and their work in Arunachal Pradesh. And I
do not agree with those who insult any religion. My mother is Christian from a
Buddhist country, my wife and daughter Hindu and my entire mohalla is Muslim.
None of them have converted to each other's faiths.
Since I have met Mr Dayal personally and discussed his beliefs with him- I
can vouch for the fact that he is critical of casteism within christian
organizations. He does not convert people, nor has he been converted. He is
very much a Dalit. He does not claim to be a tribal. Nor does he claim to be a
Hindu, as he was not brought up as one. How did you come to the conclusion that
he is a "covert" "hate monger"?
"Hindu will exactly hit"- is not a peaceful suggestion. Nor would many Hindus
agree with it. Ahimsa - needs to be practised with human beings. This is the
teaching of Adi Sankara and of Buddha. Ashok(the one with no sorrow) learnt
this in Kalinga. But today people in Kandhmahal are again fighting and killing.
Will this bring development?

Whatever spin you and your christian missionaries partners take, it is
pretty clear that this whole violence is induced by
attempts to include those who do not qualify for Kui reservations.
I will respect and tolerate only for those who respect and tolerate my
people and beliefs. Christian missionaries are not social enterprises. They
are in the business of converting unethically the poor and the ignorant. And
they malign other religions.
Below is a tyupical comment Christains missionaires make of our religion.
Frankly these hate mongers come in various garbs. The evangelist, the
lobbyist, covert ones like Paul Dinakaran and John Dayal. If they disparage
my religion, I have not sympathy for them.
The modern well aware Hindu will exactly hit then where it hurts. We don't
take things lying down anymore
"*One Rev R V Paricha has been described (Observer, March 24, 1999) as having
authored a plan, on behalf of 94 Christian organisations, to target Orissa for
conversion efforts, on the grounds that the caste structure of Orissa lacks the
polarisation of the high-and-low caste characteristics of South India. "*
