VHP holds ‘ghar wapsi’, re-converts 500 tribal Christians to Hindus

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

SURAT: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad claims to have brought 500 people from 100 Christian families back into the Hindu fold in a 'ghar wapsi' programme organized in the tribal Arnai village in Valsad on Saturday. The organizers said that they did not take any permission and did not violate any law.

The VHP had earlier organized a similar event in November at Barumal village in Valsad.

"A yagna was performed and participants were given pendants with an image of Lord Ram. They discarded the pendants of another faith. We did not lure any participant," said Valsad VHP secretary Ajit Solanki.

The participants were given a picture of Lord Ram and a Rudraksh necklace. They were sprinkled with Ganga water and took a bath at a spring. District collector Vikrant Pandey said that he has asked officials to inquire into the event and submit a report. "As per the law it is mandatory that a detailed procedure be followed for religious conversion. But to consider this event as conversion or not is yet to get clear," he said.

"There is no information about tension and details are being collected," said Superintendent of Police at Valsad Nipurna Toravane.

This is an abomination of epic proportions. Fascist pigs are showing their true colors

If this is to be condemned then so should the conversion of thousands upon thousands of others to Christianity at the behest of evangelical groups and missionary organisations.

 

[OrionHunter]

And how many Hindus and Muslims have been converted to Christianity? If 'ghar vapasi' is wrong, can one defend evangelical conversions?

How congress ruled states in India have become paradise for christian missionaries under Project Joshua:

• 15,018 Hindus and Muslims converted in single day in Ongole.
• 10,000 churches planned and constructed in 2005 alone, by just one group, the Seventh Day Adventists, scaled to 100,000 churches this year!!

Religious expansionism has not witnessed this scale, scope, and state resources in a long time. Detailed investigations by Tehelka reveal that American evangelical agencies have established in India an enormous, well-coordinated and strategised religious conversion plan. At the heart of this complex and sophisticated operation is a simple strategy - convert locals and then give them the know-how and money to plant their own churches and multiply.

And no one is talking about evangelical conversions? Why? Read the mind blowing expose here by Tehelka....

Exactly why is this an abomination?
If there was any hint of forced conversion then there stands reason to call it an abomination.

In the absence of any such indication, why would you have problem with these people converting?

Ration cards do the trick.

That would be inducement.
In this case, it does not even seem to be that.

Cant recognize sarcasm without knowing the inclinations of that person beforehand.
