Identity crisis: Converting back to Hinduism couldn't save his life
29 Aug 2008, 0245 hrs IST, Sandeep Mishra,TNN


PHIRINGIA (KANDHMAL): Gayadhar Digal paid the price for taking matters of religion in a communally troubled part of the state too lightly. He was born a Hindu and died a Hindu, but in between he proclaimed his liking for Christianity. This cost him his life at his native Kasinipadar village in Phiringia block of Kandhmal district.

On Tuesday afternoon, Sangh Parivar men, enraged over the killings of senior VHP leader Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and his disciples, attacked his house. Gayadhar, with his wife and son, ran for safety only to be hacked one km away in the field. Gayadhar succumbed. Raimati and Baisnab, a school student, are battling for lives in hospital. Attackers set ablaze many of the 350 houses in the village, with the Digals suffering the most: losing their breadwinner.
Why was the family targeted? The reasons offered by their relatives and villagers would shock even the stoic. "My uncle was a Hindu. I don't know why they attacked him and his family. Possibly, it was due to confusion over his religious identity," said niece Malati. Saroj Kumar Digal tried to clear the air. "All the Christians had left the village and moved into the jungle, fearing violence. The attackers perhaps mistook Gayadhar to be a Christian and vented their ire on him."

Why him? And a villager whispered: "He practiced Christianity for sometime, but was back to the Hindu-fold later. Maybe those in the mob who were from nearby areas, didn't know about his reentering Hinduism."


"The situation in Kandhmal is such that Christians have started claiming to be Hindus to escape communalists' rage. As such, it's difficult to ascertain religious affiliation of people. Many people, even after embracing Christianity, choose to remain Hindus in official records for SC/ST benefits," said a police officer.

As attacks on churches and Christians continued in Orissa — claiming at least nine lives — Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday condemned the violence and appealed for peace.

The Pope, in his afternoon address at Vatican Square, said he had learnt with “deep sadness” the news about violence against Christians.. He condemned the “attacks against human life” and expressed his “spiritual closeness and solidarity” to all Christian brothers and sisters in their time of trial and suffering.

Up in flames

Christian leaders in Orissa asked for Army deployment on Wednesday, as they said the police had failed to cope with the situation.

The growing chasm between the Church and the Sangh Parivar is one of the factors instrumental in igniting communal flare-ups in Orissa.


The Pope also appealed to “religious leaders and civil authorities to work together to restore among members of various communities the peaceful coexistence and harmony which have always been the distinguishing mark of Indian society”.

Back home, the Catholic Bishops Conference of India (CBCI) is meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday to urge him to hold an independent inquiry. "We will also ask the Prime Minister for payment of immediate compensation to victims and their rehabilitation," CBCI spokesperson Father Babu Joseph said.

As a mark of solidarity, convent schools across India will be closed on Friday, Archbishop of Bombay Cardinal Oswald Gracious has announced. There will also be nationwide prayer and fast on September 7.

Violence erupted in Orissa during the Vishwa Hindu Parishad-sponsored state-wide bandh on Monday. The bandh, to protest the murder of its leader Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati and four of his disciples, turned communal with protestors attacking churches and missionary schools across the state.

Expressing serious concern over the communal violence in Orissa that claimed several lives, the Centre on Friday said it favoured a CBI probe into the incidents.

"We would have liked ideally that this matter be handed over to the CBI because those responsible should get justice immediately as judicial probe takes longer time," Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters when asked whether the Orissa violence came up for discussion at the meeting of the Union Cabinet.

He, however, said it was for the state government to recommend a probe by the Central investigating agency as the Centre could not do it on its own.

Describing the incidents as a matter of grave concern to the Centre, he said, "the Prime Minister, in fact, spoke to the Chief Minister and the Governor and assured the state government it would give whatever help needed to bring back normalcy".

Sibal said this kind of "senseless destruction by individuals belonging to a particular organisation shall not be tolerated".

Asserting that the Centre was committed to secularism, he said, "there shall be no dilution in that commitment."

He hoped that Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik would take strong measures to bring back normalcy and ensure quick justice to the victims and rehabilitate them.

Sibal said it was "worrisome" that over 2,000 houses have been destroyed in the continuing violence.Asked repeatedly whether Bajrang Dal would be banned as it activists were caught making bombs, he parried a direct reply saying it was a very serious situation and communal elements were responsible for it.

Bhubaneswar: The communal violence that erupted in Orissa after the killing of five people, including a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader, continued for the seventh day on Friday with stray incidents being reported from Kandhamal district despite a curfew, police said.

“There have been stray incidents of violence in parts of Kandhamal” a police official told IANS on phone from district headquarters Phulbani.

The areas where violence broke out included Phiringia, Tikabali and Udayagiri.

"Mobs have blocked roads in several places and police are trying to clear them,” the official said.

"Although 4,000 policemen have been deployed in Kandhamal district, which is the worst hit, Hindu and Christian rioters have clashed in several places. We have arrested at least 137 people in the district since Saturday," he added.

However, officials at the police headquarters here said that things were peaceful in the rest of the state.

Educational institutions run by Christians remained closed across the state on Friday as a part of nationwide protest against the violence in which Christians were targeted, according to its community leaders.

“Policemen have been ordered to shoot rioters at sight and curfew is in force in all major towns of Kandhamal. Security forces have been taking out flag marches in several areas," a government official said.

Police said 11 people have been killed in the violence since Saturday. However, local TV channels and newspapers said at least 17 people have died in the communal violence and the bodies of 13 people had been found.

Asit Kumar Mohanty, regional coordinator of the Global Council of Indian Christians, claimed that 30 Christians had been killed since Saturday.

"As per our estimate, 10,000 Christian families have fled to the forests after their houses were burnt and they were attacked by rioters. Over 4,000 people have been injured and more than 20,000 houses have been burnt," Mohanty told IANS.

However, government sources said the figures given by Mohanty were exaggerated. Kandhamal district officials said about 4,000 Christian families had fled their homes.

"It is an emotional and spontaneous reaction of people to the killing of Swami Laxamanananda Saraswati," Suresh Chandra Mohapatra, an administrative official camping in Kandhamal, said.

The state has been on the boil since the killing of Saraswati, a member of the central advisory committee of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), and four others on Saturday evening by suspected Maoist guerrillas at his Jalespata ashram in Kandhamal district.

Saraswati was leading a campaign against cow slaughter and religious conversion in the communally sensitive district - which with a population of around 600,000 including 150,000 Christians has witnessed numerous clashes between Hindus and Christians in the past.

Radical Hindu groups in the state alleged that Christians killed Saraswati because he was opposing religious conversion. Christian organisations deny the allegation.

Saraswati's supporters have been holding protests since Saturday night, blocking trains and vehicles.
 
Orissa violence: 45,000 Christian institutions remain shut
29 Aug 2008, 2022

NEW DELHI: Protesting continued violence against Christians in Orissa, nearly 45,000 schools, colleges and other educational institutions run by the community across India remained shut on Friday.

From Kerala to Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and the trouble-torn Orissa, all Christian educational institutions across the country observed a peaceful protest but there were stray incidents of stone pelting in Madhya Pradesh.

"All our schools and colleges are closed. Let me clarify, survival is more important than education," said Babu Joseph, spokesperson of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI).

He said they held peaceful protest rallies to voice concern against continued violence against the community in Orissa, where at least 13 people have died in communal violence since Saturday evening.

He said there are around five million students studying in these 45,000 institutions and this protest will certainly bring spotlight on the issue.

Orissa has been on the boil since Saturday when Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, a member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), and four others were killed at his Jalespata ashram in Kandhamal district.

His killing triggered violence in the state against the Christian community by some Hindu fundamental groups.

He said their community members have carried out protest marches across the country.

In Delhi, scores of Christians marched to Orissa Bhawan, the office of the state resident commissioner, to protest the violence.

"Christians from at least 30 churches across the country participated in the rally in Delhi and chanted slogans against the human rights violation in Orissa," Joseph said.

Several social activists like Udit Raj and Teesta Setelvad also participated in the protest march to Orissa Bhawan and addressed the gathering there.

Several schools and colleges in Delhi, including St Stephens College, St Columba's School and Somerville School, were closed for the day.

Institutions run by missionaries in Shimla, Dharamsala and Dalhousie towns in Himachal Pradseh remained closed.

"The college is closed to express solidarity for the violence victims," said Shimla's St Bede's principal Sister Melba.

In Kerala, around 5,900 educational institutions remained closed. The institutions that were closed in Kerala include four medical colleges and 11 engineering colleges run by the Catholic Church.

Other Christian denominations like the Church of South India (CSI) and Marthoma Syrian Church joined the protest against the violence.

"All those attending our institutions will attend work wearing black badges," said an official of Marthoma Church at its headquarters in Thiruvalla in Pathanamthitta district.

In Orissa, over 100 educational institutes observed the shutdown to express solidarity.

Over 20,000 students and teachers of Agra's dozen Christian schools stayed away from their classes to protest events in Orissa.

John Fareira, principal of St Peter's College, said the protest was against atrocities in Orissa and also against increasing violence in society. "We pray to god for peace everywhere," he said.

But Madhya Pradseh reported stray incidents of stone pelting at few Christian schools.

"While all Christian schools and colleges in Madhya Pradesh remained closed Friday in protest, a group of people pelted stones at Carmel Convent School, St. Theresa School and Church and St. Paul's Church in Gwalior," said V.K. Suryavanshi, superintendent of police.

"However, no major loss occurred, except minor damage to the vehicles parked inside the campus of the schools," he said.

The Evangelical Project in Orissa
The Evangelical Project in Orissa | Offstumped

As Kandhamal burns, the BJD-BJP coalition in Orissa is under severe strain. It should be obvious to even the most amateur of political observers that the murder of Swami Lakshmananda was a pre-emptive strike at unravelling this coalition. The unabated violence against Christians is not just unacceptable but is plain stupidity to provoke it for it only widens chasm between the BJD and the BJP ahead of the elections to hand over Orissa on a platter to the Congress. The Naveen Patnaik Administration and the BJP must realise the stakes are too high for the NDA to not contain the violence and to bring the perpetrators of the murdee and subsequent violence to justice.

Having said that the events in Orissa are symptomatic of a deeper malaise that needs to be fully understood. When violence had flared in Kandhamal during Christmas last yera Offstumped had pointed out that it was a feud over entitlements while highlighting the mischief mongering by the National Minorities Commission’s fact finding team.

The bias in the NCM’s investigation is clear from these remarks that find place in the official report.

The 1991 Census shows the Christians constituted 75597 of the population of Kandhmal district whereas in the 2001 Census their population had gone up to 117950. While the increase in population in percentage terms is substantial, there is no evidence whatsoever that this increase occurred under duress or on account of inducement to conversion. A stringent law regarding conversion the Orissa Freedom of Religion Act has been on the statute books for the past four decades. The NCM Members asked both district officials and senior officials in the State Secretariat whether any cases had been reported or filed with regard to infringement of this law over the past 10 years. Not one incident of forcible conversion was cited or adduced. We also inquired from the Church representatives whether they keep a register of conversions. Such a register is a routine practice at the time of baptism. The Church representatives confirmed that they indeed maintained such a register. But no one has apparently bothered to check it. In fact the Archbishop of Bhubaneshwar told the NCM team that neither he nor anyone in the Diocese was ever summoned by the authorities with regard to matters relating to conversion. From the above the NCM team has inferred that there is no basis whatsoever to justify the anti-conversion campaign. On the other hand, this mischievous campaign has created an atmosphere of prejudice and suspicion against the Christian community and Christian priests and organizations.

It is clear from the above that the NCM team did the bare minimum necessary to understand the social effects of evangelical activity in Orissa. But what is confounding is the arrogance of the NCM in concluding that there is “no basis” for what it calls an “anti-conversion” campaign.

Offstumped will now detail the Evangelical Project in Orissa and the foreign entities behind it.

To understand this Project better, Offstumped draws the attention of its readers to foreign evangelocal entities “World Encounter” and LCMC (a Lutheran Church Congregation). The LCMC has a quarterly newsletter and in its edition for the first quarter of 2007, the LCMC newsletter carried a detailed 1 page story focused on Orissa where it invited congregations in the U.S.A for what it called

For a life-transforming experience, join World Encounter, in association with LCMC, on a short term outreach to India October 5-22, 2007. Orissa Evangelical Fellowship (OEF), an LCMC association of churches in India, has invited congregations in the US to encourage them in their efforts to share the Good News with the unreached people of India.

What’s interesting is why this project zeroed in on Orissa of all places, in its own words.
The people of Orissa are primarily tribal/animists and Hindus who worship spirits, trees, rocks, and other objects of nature. The heart of the OEF vision is focused on church planting, discipleship, and leadership…Groups of believers worship inhomes and thatch-roofed churches. In the midst of opposi-tion to the Gospel,they are committed to reaching their Hindu neighbors and families with the Good News that has transformed their lives .

This precisely is the problem in Orissa - aggressive proselytization with foreign funding and support thats invasive of people’s privacy with a clear objective of “planting churches”, expanding to “new villages” and evangelizing to “Hindu Neighbors”.

This not about the practice of Christianity in Orissa.

This is about changing the social demographics and the fabric of society in poor rural pockets of Orissa, one village, one neighborhood at a time.

To appreciate how well prepared this Evangelical Project in its targetting of Orissa, consider this compilation of target Villages in Orissa by geo-cordinates.

To further appreciate the sophistication and subterfuge with which proselytization is conducted in Orissa in the post-Staines era read this blog post by a Brian Zahnd, founder and senior pastor of Word of Life Church, a 4,000 member congregation in St. Joseph, Missouri.

I was never allowed to sit on the platform and was never introduced as a preacher. P.G. would say that he and his wife, Lilly, and his daughter, Grace, were the preachers. They would get up, speak for five minutes, and then P.G. would say he had a friend he wanted to introduce and bring a “greeting.” P.G. would introduce me as a friend bringing a greeting, and then as he handed me the microphone, he would whisper, “Preach for an hour and a half.” We did this twice a day and every evening. So three times a day I would bring a 90 minute “greeting.” I was told the police were wondering, “Who is this greeting man?” Because several thousand local people were coming at night, the evening meetings took on the tone of an evangelistic event. The last three nights I preached strong evangelistic messages….

The Orissa Government maintains a list of foreign contributions to NGOs in Orissa. The list is worth reading to appreciate how much money was pumped from International sources to further the evangelical project in Orissa during the earlier part of this decade - 2.3 crores to Orissa Fellowship Ministry, 12 crores for Cuttack Roman Catholic Diocese, 2.73 crore for Indian Evangelical Association, 1.4 crores for Brethren in Christ Church, 2.8crores for East India Mission, 4.4 crores for Joypore Evangelical Lutheran Church … the list goes on.

Of all the digging up by Offstumped, this appeal for foreign funds by a Pastor from Orissa should take the cake, replete with address and details of Bank Accounts posted as a comment on a Christian Financial Ministries site, its funny and tragic at the same time.

Pastor. Surya Karada AGAPE REACHING MINISTRIES GOVT. REGD. NO: 5392-30-2000-2001.GOVT. FCRA. NO: 105060070. FCRA.STATE BANK OF INDIA: ACCOUNTS. NO: 10535483790. PANCHGACHHIA, BARAIPALI, INDESTRIES.ESTATE SAMBALPUR, ORISSA, INDIA.768150

Had the NCM been honest and objective in its fact finding it would have detailed out the influence of foreign sponsored Evangelical Activities. The fact that this kind of evangelical proselytization with the aid and support of foreign entities finds no mention in the NCM’s report dents the NCM’s credibility while ascribing all the blame to the VHP’s so-called “anti-conversion” campaign.

Offstumped Bottomline: There is a critical distinction between the religious freedom of the Minority Community to practice its faith and the freedom to aggresively proselytize flush with funds and support by foreign entities. The former is a fundamental freedom enshrined in the Indian Constitution the latter is a privilege that has been abused to the detriment of the social fabric of poor rural communities. As Orissa picks up the pieces from this spate of violence the Evangelical Ministries would do well to reflect on the damage done by aggresive proselytization.

Here come another hindu fanatic with his sugar coated poison article.

Crap -
WHATEVER HAPPENED, NOTHING JUSTIFIES KILLING OF INNOCENT CHRISTIANS.

"Christianophobia" is a growing problem around the world and it must be fought with the same determination as anti-Semitism or Islamophobia, the Vatican said today.

Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vatican's foreign minister, spoke in the wake of attacks against Christians in India that have left at least 13 people dead this week.

Archbishop Mamberti, addressing a conference in northern Italy, said religious freedom was a vital part of international relations and human dignity.

"In order to promote this dignity in an integral way, so-called 'Christianophobia' should be combated as decisively as 'Islamophobia' and anti-Semitism," he said.

This week in eastern India, thousands of people, most of them Christians, have sought shelter in makeshift government camps, driven from their homes by religious violence.

Hindu mobs burnt more than a dozen churches and attacked Christians after a Hindu leader was killed.

Archbishop Mamberti said the events in India made the issue of religious liberty today all the more pressing.

While Hindu groups accuse Christian priests of bribing poor tribes and low-caste Hindus to change their faith, the Christians say lower-caste Hindus convert willingly to escape a complex caste system.

Pope Benedict has condemned the violence against Christians in Orissa but also deplored the killing of the Hindu leader.

Italy's foreign ministry said it would summon India's ambassador to demand "incisive action" to prevent further attacks against Christians.

Archbishop Mamberti said 21 Catholic missionaries were killed in the world in 2007 and lamented that the Christian population of Iraq was now down to about 500,000 from about one million before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Last month, Pope Benedict told Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that minority Christians in Iraq needed more protection.

The Archbishop of Mosul of Iraq's largest Christian denomination, the Chaldean Catholics, was kidnapped in February and found dead two weeks later.

The Vatican has often expressed concern that conflicts in the Middle East are greatly diminishing the Christian population in the areas of the religion's birth.

Maoists claim they killed 'fascist' VHP leader in Orissa

30 Aug 2008, 0307 hrs IST, Sandeep Mishra,TNN



PHULBANI/RAIKIA: A week after Orissa's top VHP leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati was gunned down during Janmashtami celebrations, Maoists have claimed to have killed him for his "fascist activities".

Laxmanananda's killing sent several parts of the state into a spiral of violence in which at least 12 people have been killed with several villages and prayer halls attacked by Hindu fundamentalists in retaliatory action. "We killed Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati to avenge his villainous role in Kandhmal," said Azad, a leader of Maoist outfit, People's Liberation Guerrilla Army, in an interview to a leading Oriya daily on Friday.

Azad said ever since the December 2007 riots in Kandhmal, a predominantly tribal area, Laxmanananda and VHP secretary general Pravin Togadia portrayed Christians as Maoists and attempted to defeat the revolutionary movement. "Laxmanananda was taking the lead in Hindu fascist activities," he said in the interview. "We appeal to the public to join us to fight exploitative organizations." Orissa police too suspect that Azad led the assault on Laxmanananda, which killed him and four of his disciples on August 23.

Within hours of the murder, top police officers said it was the handiwork of Maoists. The claim drew flak from saffron outfits. The BJP, a partner of the BJD-led ruling coalition in the state, accused the administration of trying to divert attention.

The BJP blamed "Christian militants" for the killing of the VHP leader. State government has constituted a special investigation team headed by IG Surendra Panwar to probe the killing of Laxmanananda.

KORAPUT (ORISSA): Curfew was imposed in Jeypore town of Orissa's Koraput district on Saturday after five police personnel were injured in mob violence following a clash between members of two communities. ( Watch )

Police fired in the air after a lathicharge and teargas failed to disperse a mob clashing over objectionable graffiti in Vikram Dev College directed against a particular community.

"Curfew was imposed in the town whose streets are still full of angry people throwing stones," Koraput District Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar said. Five police personnel, including Kumar, were injured in the stone-pelting.

The mob attacked a police station following the clash, causing extensive damage to furniture.

Trouble started over the graffiti with angry youths of the community allegedly launching an attack on girl students from the other community which sparked tension across the town. At least two girls were hurt in the incident.

Demanding immediate arrest of the culprits, hundreds gheraoed the police station and blocked all roads.

Additional forces were being mobilised to restore normalcy in the town where shops and business establishments downed shutters soon after the incident in which a several vehicles were damaged.


Orissa violence continues; more houses torched

Protesters torched 24 houses in Kandhamal on Saturday as the death toll in the week-long communal violence mounted to 14 with the recovery of two more bodies in the Orissa district.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was headed for the curfew-bound district to review the situation in the affected areas and the Ashram at Jalespeta where VHP leader Laxamanada Saraswati was gunned down along with three others on August 23 leading to the violence.

Official sources said Patnaik had decided to proceed to Kandhamal by road after inclement weather forced his chopper to return.

Two highly decomposed bodies were recovered from Raikia area near Petapanga village of the district taking the death toll to 14, Suresh Mohapatra, a senior officer monitoring the situation in the district said.

Police said about 24 houses were torched at Katringia, Kanibali, Baghdungri and some other villages under Gochapada panchayat area in the early hours on Saturday. There were, however, no reports of loss of life in the incident.

Police patrolling was intensified and security personnel were sent to remote areas of the tribal district.

With the situation improving in urban areas, curfew was relaxed for 10 hours in most of them barring the sensitive Phulbani town, Baliguda, Tumudibandha, Barkhama, Raikia, G.Udaygiri, Daringbadi and Tikabali.

About 5000 people fearing violence are still hiding in the jungles, though over 10,000 others had returned and were accommodated in seven relief camps set up at G Udayagiri, Raikia, K.Nuagaon, Baliguda, Phiringia, Tikabali and Chakpada, the police said.

So far 137 people have been arrested in the district and 39 cases registered in connection with the violence, a senior police officer said.
