MINORITY PERSECUTIONBy: N.V.SANBKARAN | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 11:12:07 AM Reply | Forward It is surprising to see that even the Supreme Court is being influenced by the anti-Hindu propaganda by the biased media. What happened in Kandhamal was a caste war as a reaction against the cold blooded murder of Swami Lakshmanandji, which unfortunately turned out to be a war between the Hindu Kandhas and Christian Panas. Independent India had 4 Muslim presidents, several cabinet ministers and our current defence minister is a Christian. Can you name one Christian majority country in the world where a non-Christian or a Muslim majority country where a non-Muslim is occupying such powerful position? You can see people from the minority communities occupying powerful and respectable positions in other fields also in India. Yet, they always cry percsecution. How much religion can the Christians practise and propagate in the Islamic countries? Despite all these complaints, the minorities in India are much better off than the minorities in the Christian or Muslim majority countries.

partial vedicBy: pasha | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 18:41:24 PM Reply | Forward this is a right move by the apex court, but I'm asking the supreme court and it's judges why they didn't pass such orders or such directives to those states where the state government not only organized riots and acted to be the promoter of genocide. why supreme court did take any action again the Gujarat government in the famous Godhra kand.

STOP CONVERSIONBy: bharath | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 12:07:28 PM Reply | Forward 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 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.

CONVERSION TERRORISMBy: Prakash Menon | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:16:23 AM Reply | Forward The biggest threat the Indian union facing now are two menaces, viz. religious conversion and terrorism. This is a time when prayer halls and churches all over Europe are getting converted into Clubs and Libraries, scores of it are raised in India, majority of those places, there are no christians for name sake. This is the handy work of Keralites, who leaped into all over India for livelihood but now involved in conversion there. If this menace if not stopped by the Govt. many such Kandhamals are bound to happen not only in Orissa; but elsewhere in India, for which Christians are only responsible. This conversion terrorism should be stopped immediately, in HINDUSTAN.

Deliver Impartial Verdicts.By: KP Pillai | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:10:41 AM Reply | Forward This does not happen after allowing by the Court or Govt. It is a natural reaction of the general public when their sentiments are hurt or when their reverred persons are butchered. Life of all humans are valuable, which should not be differentiated at own wishes, sitting in the highest seat of justice.

ERRING JUDGMENTSBy: ANIYAN | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:03:59 AM Reply | Forward THE BENCH HEADED BY CHIEF JUSTICE BALAKRISHNAN, IS NOT EXPECTED TO DELIVER A BALANCED JUDGMENT. HE IS A KERALITE, THE STATE WHICH PRODUCES THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PRIESTS AND NUNS FOR DEPLOYMENT ALL OVER INDIA, WITH THE ACTIVE SUPPORT OF FOREIGN MONEY AND A SPECIFIC TARGET OF WEEKLY AND MONTHLY TARGET OF CONVERSION. HE IS THE NOMINEE OF CPM GOVT IN KERALA. ALTHOUGH HIS NAME HAS A TITLE OF KRISHNA, HE IS TOO FAR FROM THERE IN TERMS OF HIS ACTIVITIES. HE HAS A LOBBY OF JUDGES, SUCH AS JUSTICE HEMA IN KERALA HIGH COURT, WHO DELIVERED A JUDGMENT RECENTLY FAVOURING TO LET THE THREE KILLERS OF AN YOUNG NUN IN 1992, ON BAIL, WHO HAPPEN TO BE PRIESTS AND NUN. THE GUILTY OF THE KILLED NUN WAS THAT SHE HAPPENED TO SEE THE SEXUAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS THREE (TOGETHER) IN THE KITCHEN OF HER HOSTEL, WHEN SHE WENT THERE TO FETCH DRINKING WATER. SO, THERE IS A CONCERTED EFFORT TO THWART LEGAL SET UP IN INDIA, TO APPEASE MINORITIES. THIS IS AN UNOFORTUNATE SITUATION !.

SC's say not enough- deal with terrorists in KandhamalBy: Anitha Chettiar | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 9:43:03 AM Reply | Forward SC's stand is not enough. No question of 'won't allow minority persecution', because they are already being persecuted. Since four months, till today around 8000 christians are living in Relief Camps in Kandhamal district of Orissa. What a shame! A spineless government at the Centre and State are mere spectators to the this persecution and tragedy. Mr P.Chidambaram can we expect your attention towards Kandhamal in dealing with the terrorists within our fold? Anitha Chettiar, Mumbai

Two groups of TerroristsBy: Paul Krist | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:29:06 AM Reply | Forward Muslim Jihadists are the major terrorists not only in India but also the world over, and of course they are being defeated, they will soon be routed totally, despite their sweet dreams otherwise. The other group of terrorists is the Christian missionaries - these guys are not hidden terrorists, but open ones using frauds and deceptions before the gullible, the illiterate and the poor and the diseased. Whatever the judicial pretensious pronouncements and stands, the mobs, who have a mindof their own, will take the law into their own hands and destroy the missionary terrorists. By the bye, you say you are Chettiar, giving impression you are Hindu. And I am Paul Krist, an ex convert, back to Hindu fold. My father was cheated, why should I continue like him.

Convert back and forth-that is your freedomBy: Rajesh | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 13:15:46 PM Reply | Forward Paul Krist (whatever animal that is), I would also like to convert to Hiduism. Will you pease tel me what should I believe to do that?!!! You have all the freedom to convert back and forth-only Christias allow such freedom- no other religion. It is also the fundamental right of all men. So, u become a Hindu or whatever, but, if u r making a public cry about it, also tell us what is the belienf system that we should also understand. Your words about Christians who educated tribal peope like you show your character.

PErsection of Kashmir Pundits and Kandharmal to be put on same balance and consideredBy: MMK Rao | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:17:11 AM Reply | Forward I wrote so much on the captioned reply to your satement, SC's say not enough, etc. What happened to that I dont know. I just want you to note that Kandharmal was totally unwarranted but because of fruadulent unbridled and fraudulent Christian missionary conversion activities misusing Constitutional rights of religious expression. Mob has a mind of its own, and resspect and pride of its own in its ancient culture, they are not religious waiting to be converted, which is contradicted by rascal missionaries.

Lakhs of Kashmiri Pundits not just persecuted but massacred or expelled ! By: MMK Rao | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 10:06:24 AM Reply | Forward Dear friend Anitha, persecution, cruelty and other violences on communities, minorities, individuals, is in the same basket of injustice which the courts must attend. As for minorities, the courts - and the politicians - should treat them alike whether they are Hindu, Muslim, or Christian minorities. But the truth is that i Kashmir, millions of Kashmiri pundits were driven away or butchered mercilessly by the Muslim majorities. And till date, this injustice has not been done by the courts or the government. As for Kandharmal, or Karnataka, or anywhere else in India, the socalled persecution of Christians was just a mob reaction to unbridled and deceitful conversion activities which were illegally and fraudulently carried on by '000s of missionaries. The mobs too have a mind, love of their native culture and religion. The missionaaries keep trying to defend their frauds saying the tribals are NOT Hindus but people without religion. This is the kind of thing which bore fruit for them in South Korea which is now robbed of its Buddhist culture and Christianity planted. THIS SHALL NOT BE PERMISSIBLE IN INDIA. If you are really a 'Chettiar', not a convert, I am sure you will follow and appreciate what I wrote.
