Attack on religious institutionsBy: Shankaran Nair | Tuesday , 23 Sep '08 0:26:41 AM Reply | Forward Whatever one may attribute to the mindless attack on religious institutions. This is not the proper way to fight the so called conversion. Who was converted any way. If one knows who was converted produce them and behead if you can do it. But by attacking about 150 years old institutions some wrong things are being made in the name of fighting conversion. Whoever is ruling the country or state they are doing a wrong thing by giving protection to the religious terrorists. How can you prevent conversion by attacking a religious institution. All religions are alike and all human beings believe in God. Nothing should be done against the sentiments of the people and consequences will be unmanageable. Till date the communities have lived peacefully and being friendly with each other. Suddenly what has prompted attack on the institution.
What a Pity mother land!By: UB Jayanthi | Tuesday , 23 Sep '08 0:11:29 AM Reply | Forward It is interesting that minority community wants police composed of minority personnel and members of community when the police raid them. Mr Paswan says BJP wanted sites for Kasmir Pandits but des not mention of sites for minority. These statements show what soprt of leaders we have. The minority community members donot have confidence even if a police officer dies. Mr. Paswan forgot that his hate of Hindus, being a SC man, shows alck of depth. Why he did not protest when Pandits are hit and today blames that minority members should be given land and not Pandits.
Popes appointee vs peoples elected leadersBy: dr. u.b.jayanthi | Monday , 22 Sep '08 23:32:46 PM Reply | Forward Bishops cannot order any mmore indian ruling leader. Is it not enough to make india the poorest at the time of independence of a country richest before british tookover? Yes we allow all religions to practice peacefully their word of god. But we donot our poor unintelligent people converted in the name of enlightnment. First respect by church of the government is good thing to start with and he cannot chide a leader.
One-sided pictureBy: Indian | Monday , 22 Sep '08 21:20:59 PM Reply | Forward The protests across the country are masking the reason behind the attacks on Christians and the media is blowing these incidents out of proportion. Everyone talks of the 1992 violence in Mumbai Godhra . Nobody talks about the burning of the Radhabai chawl that killed 16 people, which provoked sharp reaction from the Hindu community and Marad killing which was buried silently by so called seculars.The protests, organised by some communities, are making the the victims look like offenders. While Christian protestors speak of human rights violations, what about the rights of the four people, including a swamy, who were killed
Congress and JD(S) are responsibleBy: Ann | Monday , 22 Sep '08 21:09:39 PM Reply | Forward This is certainly the act of Congress and JD(S). They must have taken advice from the very experienced rioter CM of Andhra, YSR Reddy.

Attack on ChristiansBy: PZipk | Monday , 22 Sep '08 20:39:54 PM Reply | Forward The message to the Christians brothers is very simple. We respect you and your religion. But STOP conversions now and we will all get along well.
Why IE NDTV chose to ignore this continued onslaught on HinduismBy: Hindu | Monday , 22 Sep '08 20:36:36 PM Reply | Forward In a move that touches the pit’s bottom, the UPA government has changed the emblem of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan from Lotus and shining Sun to Cross and Crescent. And this has been done in the name of “broader reflection of national ethos.” The Board of Governors of KVS in its 79th meeting held on 26.6.2008 approved the new logo and a circular was sent to all the offices and schools of the Sangathan on July 17, 2008, to change the emblem in all the publications and communications. Though the chairman of KVS, HRD Minister Arjun Singh did not attend the meeting, the minutes of the meeting stated that the emblem has been approved by the chairman. His deputy Shri Md Ali Ashraf Fatmi, Minister of State, HRD
Stop Religious conversions - exploiting poverty PEACE willthen return By: bHARATH | Monday , 22 Sep '08 20:28:35 PM Reply | Forward It began with the arrival of Christian missionaries in the area who found the remote region very conducive to conduct prosetylization amongst the poor tribals. The conversions continued unhindered until the arrival of Swami Laxmanananda who put strenuous efforts to stop conversions and help reconversion to Hinduism as well. If not for his effort Kandhamal would have been another Nagaland in the making where the separatist movement has wrecked havoc in the state. The aggressive Christian proselytization in Orissa today pitched previously peaceful tribals into warring camps of Christians and non-Christian. This has has vitiated the peace that has existed with various communities for millenia. Why Orissa Orissa has been specially targeted because of a huge tribal population. This allows the missionaries to work from the scrutiny of the media and carry our their nefarious activities. In Kandhamal district, for instance, the Christian population has increased from six per cent in 19
