European Union Condemns “Massacre†of Christians in India
Indian Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh was targeted by the European Union for not taking stringent action to prevent the “massacre†of Christians in Karnataka and Orissa. The strongly worded condemnation of the violence in Kandhamal and the destruction of churches in Karnataka by the Bajrang Dal came up during the India-EU summit held in Marseille.
Both, the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is also heading the European Council and Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission strongly condemned the acts of violence.
When questioned about the discrimination of Sikhs in France, President Sarkozy felt that there was no comparison between the two. The issues were totally different.
Earlier, Dr. Singh had condemned the massacre on Christians in the country as a “national shame’ and promised to ensure the rights of the minority community in India would be protected. He said that he would guarantee the constitutional rights of the minorities to profess and propagate their respective faith.
India and EU had stormy sessions on the issue of human rights. Kashmir terrorism also evoked a lot criticism from EU.

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.
