Guys,since the BJP came to power the christians in india are under a siege.For the first time since independence,they are made to feel as a minority.But i think the missionaries are as much responsible as the hindu fanatic organistaions for the current situation.The missionaries annual reports and speeches made by the priests do strongly indicate that they are contemptous about hinduism.Conversion should be an individual's right (and more so a matter of faith) and the missionaries should not take advantage of a person's economic condition.But if the church in india wants to emanicipate the harijans and tribes from the hindu caste system by converting in to christanity,i ask this question:Why they are not converting indian muslims and sikhs? Is it so beacause of fear? Or ,are they taking advantage of secularism? True,casteism in these faiths is not like in hinduism.But the backward people who converted in to islam and sikhism are no less discriminated while they were hindus.In that case,how could the missionaries justify their conversions only from hindu harijans and tribals?

Joe and Ankit,
Christianity is a b-a-s-t-a-r-d-i-z-e-d religion. You ppl try to convert others without knowing the history of the Bible; the Jews whose Bible you read stole all the ideas for Bible from the ancestors of these same ppl! So why don't you go bark to a tree... the pedophile Church and all its missionary jihadis (Staines, for example) are not wanted in India. You don't have the "Queen" or the "Viceroy" anymore to send Gurkhas when the natives fight back. All you have is international opinion, which is politically motivated anyway.

fools fools
what do u mean we don't know the history of the Bible, do u? if u don't then dont blabber on like a mad dog. Yes we got our Old Testament of the Bible from the Jews. Christianity is the fulfillment of the Jewish religion, even though to this day many Jews don't believe that. God chose the Jews to spread the message of God to all nations. that's why Jesus was born a Jew. don't talk trash. judaism is our bigger brother religion, and the coming of Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament of the Bible, but many Jews failed to see this.
if the British were so hell-bent on converting you, i think they could've done a much better job, like St.Thomas did in Kerala (by himself) in the first century AD. he himself converted like a third of the population. all the Brits wanted was India's riches, just like her previous conquerors.
i know kids are gettin raped by priests of all religions. but seriously, in india if somebody printed an article about a pandit raping a kid, do you think he'd live long after that? if something like that was said about a muslim imam in an islamic country, the reporter would have been shot. india may say it has freedom of speech, but only for majority hindus to talk trash about everyone else.
Staines, u think he was a warrior carrying a gun ready to force ppl to convert? u people are fools. if a man of peace who took care of outcasts that ur society shuns is a warrior, then u r seriously whacko! u people are the most ungrateful and unsympathethic third grades in the world.
so much anger in u ppl eh? u never seem to understand how a man like Staines single-handedly thought people the truth. yes he is a warrior, not carrying a sword and threats, but a warrior with courage, who would die for his faith and yet pray to God to forgive his attackers, something u people do not understand.
i don't think his wife went crazy and left the country, she stayed and prayed so that his murderers be forgiven by God. she dint avenge his death by killing some hindus. as i said, Christians are not blood-mongers. and because u ppl can't bare that we're growin in number in india, yall do acts of desperation like this so called "Anti-Conversion Law" and forceful conversion of tribals (best example in Gujarat in the Dangs district).
in chennai 10 000 ppl were gettin ready to be baptized and were travelling to a church. the police comes and stops them from entering. the reason? none. the charges? none. just an act of desperation. obviously, what else could it be?
Hinduism has no real founder, no leader, no nothing. it was only until the 5th century BC that it was considered a religion and not a culture. first of all, i say u get a proper organization and maybe a leader, cause u all r so confused.

We Hindus don't want you in India. You Christians never came peacefully anyway. We Hindus are not desperate for converts; we know our religion is not a religion but a philosophy that can survive on its own substance. It has survived attacks from Moghuls, Portugese, Buddhists, and British. If Mr. Staines understood that, he might be alive today. Let it be a lesson to all of you Christians who choose to proselytize.

Hinduism was a way of life, then ppl started calling it a religion.
And about G. Stains, I think Dara Singh did an excelent job. he taught a lesson to allt he missionaries, who convert by the unethical way, giving money.
