Varanasi: In the latest incidence of 'ghar wapsi', around 300 people converted to Hinduism in Ausanpur village, 16 kilometers from Varanasi.




As per a report in The Times of India, those converted used to frequent a church that had come in the area a few years ago.

They were brought back to the Hindu fold by an organisation called the Dharma Jagran Samanvya Samiti.

The report adds that those converted after 'shuddhikaran' were handed over a Gita and Hamuman Chalisa.

Interestingly, the report quotes an unnamed villager as saying that those converted had never left Hindu religion at the first place. He said that they had changed their faith not their religion as they feared losing the benefits that come from their SC status.

fair enough, they converted to islam during the oppressive reign of aurangjb. now there is no threat, welcome to the great religion followed by your ancentors.

If you look at ground realities, these poor souls don't have enough resources to arrange bread and butter for their family, some are poor farmers , some are daily wage earners. Poverty plus illetracy is deadly combo (most easy to be brainwashed). These people don't care which religion they are following. For them the hidden benefits matter the most. If you give them some amount of money they will change their religion. If someone offers higher amount they will change their previously accepted religion too.

Give them promises, sell them dreams and they can change to any religion.

They converted to Islam during the time of Aurangzeb? WTF. How many of these people were alive back then?

Yea sure, since Modi has arrived, now Hindu conversions have begun.........

Did you even bother to read the article?

Regardless, just like @G0dfather said.

Still long way to achieve ambitious target of 2018.

Nothing wrong till it is forced .

 

[Tridibans]

Good step. People should be free to convert to any religion by choice and not by birth. Same as 'dawah' being held in my locality every Id .

Welcome back brothers and sisters to the way of life of your forefathers.

 

[DesiGuy]

People convert in/out of religions everyday. Why is this a news?

 

[Robinhood Pandey]

Everything is fair untill conversion is not a forced one.

 

[Speed]

Welcome back to the progressive ideology

Here we should remember that before and shortly after Independence, the nation was facing food shortages and that time when we were trying to recover , we were struck in between of the cold war , then 1962 war, 1965 war and 1971 war and millions of refugees were inside our country. First the partition refugees then tibetian refugees , Myanmar refugees then Bangladeshi refugees , Afghan refugees and even Rohingas refugees .

We Indians were eatting less but giving to others because we believe in human rights and always talk about Vasudeva kutumbum . We have showed the world , how much we have sacrificed and rebuilt our nation against all odds.
