Alarming scale of Christian conversions: Dr. Gautam Sen The actual scale of the religious conversion in India and Nepal is not fully known because incumbent governments have deliberately concealed evidence, fearing a Hindu backlash. Christians themselves have also been advised by the Church authorities to mislead census takers by registering themselves as Hindu, making an accurate assessment of their growing numbers hard to determine. But the numbers of Christians in India and Nepal are certain to be much higher than the 2.3 per cent figure being misleadingly bandied about by Christian organisations, anxious to divert attention from their evangelical surge. However, there is some evidence that the numbers of Christian converts in both countries have now reached 8% and poised to exceed 10-12%.It has been achieved by Church organisations blatantly violating the recommendations of the 1956 Madhya Pradesh, Niyogi Committee. It had sought to prohibit all inducements to religious conversion, including material, medical and psychological allurements. All of these stipulations are now ignored, with the complicity of many state governments and the Congress-led UPA itself. The nonchalant attitude of the UPA towards Christian evangelists can be judged by the behaviour of an agent of the church. Its first family’s Christian faith suggests the possible reason for it. In fact, massive advertising campaigns to promote religious conversion have become routine with the help of treasonous Bollywood film stars. And Christian missionaries, outrageously masquerading as sadhus in dress and demeanour, are forms of inculturation that represent virtual warfare against Hindus. The church and its NGO surrogates are also engaged in a massive land-buying spree across India that has dangerous implications for national security. It is estimated that collectively churches are the second biggest landowner in India, after the government itself. It is quite clear that most NGOs engaged in alleged poverty alleviation, advocacy of gender and minority rights and general upliftment of the disadvantaged, are, in reality, church fronts, engaged in cultivating alternative political loyalties.
