APJ abdul kalam was a namesake Muslim. He read vedas and ramyana. He was a vegetarian. Muslims always prove that their loyalty lies towards either Saudi/Iran/Pakistan/Ummah.
Actually in the long term evangelicals have caused a lot of bad name for their respective faiths. In almost all cases I found the newly converted tribals in Chattisgarh and Odissa continue to worship Christ just as another Hindu deity! Almost all of them reverted overnight! Plus some evangelicals have a holier than thou attitude that does not help the tribals.
In several areas we did this for example - A Presbitherian (did not know what that was) community built a school and made a condition that for kids to study there, the family must be a Christian. So the locals converted, were given cakes and pudding (a delicacy for anyone, especially for such dirt poor and neglected people) to send kids to school. We just built another school, but without any condition - anyone could study, affiliated to the State Board. After two months almost all kids(95%) switched to this school of ours and the Christian school was converted into a guest house! The villagers have returned to their own practices once again. Only now they don't have much respect for the Christians. Which is unfair considering that they saw probably some of the most narrow minded of Christians in their lives who would restrict education on the lines of faith. Had they not kept any condition on entry, many would have genuinely liked to have faith in the new way, but imposing ideas on poor but proud tribals usually do not work.
For this reason we run into clashes with Maoists as well. We are always underfunded and we are never able to pay up the 'taxes' the 'Liberated Governments' imposed. On the other hand, the evangelicals were rich and enjoyed good rapport.
Pls dont take this as a criticism of the Christians of India but the evangelical activity that even and often indulges in inter Christian conflicts (Protestant/Presbith. vs Catholics etc), who are actually (as you already know) are not driven by faith in God but pure narrow business interests, trying to meet and exceed quotas of converts.
Nooooooooo. No sympathies for him, but still....Arrest and a sentence of 10 to 14 years should suffice.
Actually @seiko has a similar opinion.
Totally agreed. For example - I will honestly admit, though Indrani may court martial me (no offence Indrani, just pulling thy leg), but this conversion, return etc is something I don't have my heart in.
Honestly I also don't feel very excited to see such poverty existing there, so somewhat scared to see hopes dashed when and if I go again. All this India is Great etc feels so foreign in that belt.Actually there are plenty of Christians who have helped me have a more wide opinion. My perception differs from that of yours. In fact in many places these very Christians, especially along the coastal belt in Odisha gave us the information about the evangelicals who even used to blackmail them! But for their help, it would not have been possible to even track down the tribes in the jungles, that we knew nothing about. Our local drivers on hire were all Animist/Christians for generations, yet they fully supported us. There was only one hospital in the area and when some suffered from diarrhoea he was taken there and guess what - it was a Christian trust! We did build two more health centers for smaller remedies.
Irrelevant actually. He is Indian. His culture is Indian. He can put many of us to shame with his knowledge in the Vedas or Gita etc.
On paper they have everything. I will also tell you this - true story. The only major continuous employment they have is from felling trees for contractors working illegally. It's illegal because most of the areas are reserve forests. In any case the amount paid for a days work was pathetic 4 years ago even. In some cases they were paid 5 rupees each and a meal that can make the food in jails look good. Even then the money was sometimes given like this - tear apart a ten rupee note and give the halves!
pink panther 2 ???Muslims masquerading as Hindus is not an isolated incident.
Hinduguy is a muslim masquerading as a Hindu in PDF.............I wonder if he has lied to his wife too ?
But the day and age of women getting tarnished for life is long gone ...............there will be a queue of eligible bachelors waiting to marry her this time. She is young, good looking and a reputed sports person from a Royal Family.
The husband and his family is now looking at economic ruin and a LONG time in Jail
No Indrani, not blaming anyone. Just the fact that their condition is far too wretched for comfort. The State had failed before. And now when the State wishes to rectify the civil rights guardians (far left) comes to the rescue.
Don't worry, I have read the Quran, does not make me a Muslim.
Tried reading the New Testament. No offence, could not finish...felt it was too boring.
Don't worry, I have read the Quran, does not make me a Muslim.
Old testament have more stories.. New teatament is all about Jesus..
Don't worry, I have read the Quran, does not make me a Muslim.
Plus Kalam is no mere mortal. He is more Indian than me. I won't be surprised if he knows about Indian epics and culture more than me. In fact I am sure he does. His faith is irrelevant in this matter.
