Is our lives so cheapBy: k swami | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 10:23:47 AM Reply | Forward Why fast track court in convicting those who attacked church and completely silent in arresting and convicting kilers of swamiji

STOP CONVERSION By: s k pattabi | Monday , 6 Jul '09 14:49:44 PM Reply | Forward STOP CONVERSION Alarming 5 fold increase in Kandhamal Christian population from six per cent in 1971 to 27 per cent in 2001 ,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 Hindouism 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

Stop Conversion, stealing land of the Kandhas, their caste certificateBy: Dipak Ghosh | Monday , 6 Jul '09 9:04:42 AM Reply | Forward Instead of protecting peoples culture, Congress is deeply involved with Missionaries. Even one Rajya Sabha Member of Congress is head of a missionary Organization. HAS CONGRESS FORGOTTEN THAT MAHATMA GANDHIJI WAS OPPOSED TO RELIGIOUS CONVERSION?

Naked TruthBy: S K Patil | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 19:38:39 PM Reply | Forward NHRC NMC are active only when the sufferers are non-Hindous,namely Christians and Muslims. But when it’s a case of Hindous being the minority community, their sufferings are totally ignored.Take the case of Hindou Reangs of Mizoram: they have been driven out of the state since they refuse to embrace Christianity. The NMC has never bothered to visit the camps of these 30,000 unfortunate Reangs in Tripura. Nor has it bothered to look into the pathetic living conditions of Kashmiri Pandits, either in Jammu or elsewhere.Hindous, as a minority community, cannot celebrate Durga Puja in southern Tripura, Meghalaya and other Christian majority states of the east. Does the Constitution define minorities as only non-Hindous? Now, when some churches have been attacked in and around Mangalore, they have rushed in, which has ultimately resulted in the Central Government issuing a warning to the Karnataka government.

There are two types of law in India, one for criminal politicians and one for common criminals.By: DR.KANDAHAR CHOR | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 16:27:06 PM Reply | Forward Conversion and reconversions was the root case, and the sanghparivar played one of the most stupid and osama-bin-laden like role when they burned Churches and killed nuns in our Hindu names. The criminal Manoj Pradhan was serving a sentence when he was released this is even more criminal.

Arresting Manoj Pradhan.. is like answering the wrong questionBy: Chandra SG | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 15:18:24 PM Reply | Forward It is evident from Justice mahopatra's report that CONVERSIONs are root cause for Kandhamal Riots... Arresting Manoj Pradhan will only back-fire.. as he will for sure become better leader with more reach to masses.Stop conversions and also stop this drama of bashing BJP as communal.... BJP has been shouting at top of its voice not to encourage Conversions.. and today the local government inaction to stop Conversions and killing of Swami Laxiananda Sarawathi are main Cause for all this riot (similar to the Godhra Carnage in Gujarat).If the action can be prevented there will never be a reaction... !! Leaving aside the 'action' and probing the 'reaction' is nothing but answering the wrong question... Just for appeasement and vote-bank politics by COngress and other Pseudo-secular parties.

what happened before Kandhmaal and going on.........By: Amit Purohit | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 13:44:14 PM Reply | Forward Conversions is a contentious issue on the grounds that how are they done?But the biased reporters will present report like this only.It could have been like this also - Person fighting against christian convertors got elected and pay the price for this to be out on bail. this can happen in India only.Bcoz of the crooked congress and their psychophants.
