Would somebody ask VHP to give the background to this back lash so that corrections ca be made to the proselytisation(conversions) process. The demographical change caused by strident, military like on-going proselytisation of nature’s children. Of tribals being easy bait to Cash, medicines,food, water. ‘Athithi devo bhava’ and India has been home to all religions. Hinduism has room for all, as has been amply demonstated by history; no one was burnt at the stake, or had their limbs severed for proposing new sientific discoveries or new Thought. Ancient India produced great women thinkers too and philosophers. They not only were allowed to paricipate in open debate with their male counterparts, but having won,their theories were also celebrated. Most unlike any other civilisation in this context! ‘Live and let live’ is the underlying mantra. Wish all (religions) would practice it without ulterior motives. ‘Service for the sake of service alone’, is a far more noble act than service for the sake of conversions!The locals say money is offered to tribals with one hand and their identity taken away with the other.
Whatever it is, hope peace will rein in that great land.
