1. INTRODUCTION. The condition of the BhaaratVarshhas been deteriorating from 9 thcentury since the Moguls commenced their onslaught with their victory in first Panipat War.Since then, the looting of this golden land has been continuing on and on in various forms. The

was catapulted by the foreign invasions and subsequently by the British divisive rule in moreand more organized way through the thorough study of the Indian system. Let us understand
the systematic decay of value based Indian society which once was the foundation of the
Bhaarath .
2. FOREIGN INVASIONS.
(a) WHY DID THEY INVADE?. Indian subcontinent was always remained an easy
target because of her diverse nature and her brim filled wealth. Whereas other regions in
the world, either arid or deprived of the natures gift like minerals and other rare things
existed in the subcontinent. The very formation of Islam itself was to avenge against
their enemies in their place of birth. Advent of the idea of Christ and the industrializationforced the western brutals to trumpet their ignorant supremacy on the other side of the
world. The industrialization forced the west to think that their values were the best in the
world. The idea of country and religions were always created to rule the mind of people
either by fear or by the ideas/religion. That‘s why there were no idea of unified countryin Bharat Subcontinent. There are some religions which are created by the fear of god
and the punishment if the humans don‘t follow the way. In the subcontinent ,there were
nobound rule of religion/rite of the religion.But it was sointerwined with the life,such thatthere was no life without religion.In other hand , All the wars in the world speaks either
for mens greed to land or for the intolerance of religious ideology. More over, Take the
religions which was formed out of fear always attempted to control the people and thecountry through sword then through the force insertion of religious ideology. When the
desired effect was not achieved by the sword alone the worship places was razes down
to earth to instill the fear in the mind of the other infidels/ignorants (as the Muslims and
the Christians called the people of any country they invaded for money and other
resources).Since advent of the Monotheistic religions, there were continuous attempts toproselyte the people of other region under various methods covert or overt. Fine
example for the same was the evangelisation of the Europe and spread of Muslimfundamentalism in the other part the world.
MUSLIMS.Though the invaders have been very strong and focused to make the regions they
invaded as their harem or as their colony.Letus see first what Muslim invaders did to our
country. They came and saw the richness of the Golden bird called Bharat. They could not
stomach the rich way of living in the subcontinent AND THEY WANT O SATY HERE
FOREVER. The understood that the religion and the temple were the sole reason for the richand full life lead by then Indians – who were Pagans. So,the Muslims developed a high loathing
towards the temples which were the back bone of the Indians society. Hence they razed the
temples as they grow in Indian subcontinent.The number of temples razed by the mugal rulerscannot be counted.And the number of Hindus killed by the Mugals for refusing to convert under
the sword also not be counted .However it was estimated as 80 Millions by the later age
historians.Even then8 centuries they could not make this KarmaBhumi as their Harem. Why did
the Moguls fail?. It needs very deep thinking of the societal fabric of those days. Temple bytemple as they razed,the temple rose back with outfail.Awell known example for the same isGujarat Somanath Temple. There rested a BIG question of HOW and WHY?. Despite the rulers
were Muslims who were fully hostile against any infidel place of worship being built. Here is the
foundation of the ancient Sanatana Dharma society
Temples removed again and again but the society which raised temples again again to
maintain the societal cycle, because the education system was not complete with out the
element spiritualism which proved valueable and indispensable over the time. Though
the Mugal rule ended , many muslims despite they being once convert from the HinduIndians their efforts are still going on and on to sustain their on slaughter efforts blindly.
CHRISTAINS. The Portuguese found their way to in the Bharat in the late fourteenth
century and did the same what the Muslims tried to do and failed from Ninth century.
Then, the Dutch and British came to India, though their aim was to get the raw materials
to support their industrials revolutions eventually their aim changed into complete
evangelisation left over by their pioneers so as to ensure their continued presence in the
region. They tried to educate the aboriginals off their ignorance of superstitions. Here Irecollect a saying ―The superstition is the name given by the ignoarants to their
ignorance‖ But their exposure to the Indian rich societal values shaken their selfassumed false supremacy due to their industrial revolution. The British learned from the
mistakes of the Portuguese and the Muslims and tried to break the social fabric whichmaintained the unbeatable society in a different way. They studied the ways of the
Indians and tried to divide the well knight society in a decisive way. They wanted to instill
their western doctrines through any means so as to make the Indians feel inferior of theirown way of life and practices which sustained them for centuries. The British though
highly brutal in their motto, their means ensured the systematic degeneration of the age
old Gurukul education and wanted to make slaves by thought and means of living.They
unlike the brute Muslims and Portuguese they attacked the very root of the societalvalue - the education system and cut the channel of education by which the values were
passed onto the generations by thetraditionalAcharyas and Upadhyayars. They removedthe very basic of indians society- The Gurukuls out of the society and replace the sameby the missionary run school to teach the pseudo valuesin the Dharmic society.
BRITISH TARGET
The treacherous British realized that they could not rule for ever over Indians if theIndians continued their way of living and education. Thus they devised the ideas to
polarize the society in many ways like caste and geographical divide like North as
Aryans and South as Dravidians. In addition they bemused the Indians with their
developed Industrials might forcing the Indians to accept their supremacy over the
traditional ways of fullness. They preached and divided the Indians by Aryans Invasion
Theory and increased the Caste difference in the society by indicting knowledge rich
traditional Gurujis for all the societal disparity. Thus setting the Indians against Indiansby many ways and seeded the hatred amongst the innocent brothers. Then they razed
not the temples but the Gurukuls which was the CENTRE of entire society andimplanted the seed of making slaves in Indians who can be like them in taste in thought
and deeds and who detest their own identity as pure Indians. The British did change in
education system so such that the slave elite Indians who will continue their unfinished
their job in India by Victorian Sinful values in the future.
3. POST INDEPENDENCE WILL OR NO WILL FOR THE BHARAT. When the British left,
they transferred power to those who were more British than the originals in taste and thinking.
Since then rulers (Pseudo Secular Nehruvian Family) never bothered to neither to restore the
lost societal values by builtingGurukuls nor to industrialise the country in order to empower thecountry in the modern way as west preceived.Instead they did open the gate of the country to
the modern enslavers in the form of Trade and the Direct Investments form the more foreignpowers to siphon the wealth to the outside western Masters.The country missed industrialization
before globalization because of the self centered rulers of the independent India . So we as acountry will continue to chase the mirage of the Western Valued Development (Vikas). In
ancient India development had a different meaning related to inner growth which attracted the
whole world to India to seek the inner peace and inclusive growth .In the other hand what theorganisedindian government efforts towards the hindu temples which were systematically razed
by the foreign rulesrover centuries is clearely explained in Annnexure‘A‘. Today as a country,
we neither do anything to improve the industry nor to improve the spiritual education so as we
Indians actually show the correct path to the world which is madly on the way to destruction without understanding the balance of the nature. In the domestic front , the brown British rulers did
not make any efforts to make the country better neither in industrialization nor in spiritualeducation but they continued to divide the country further into religion, language, caste, rich andpoor. Its six decades after independence we are still slaves in language, thoughts and culture in
an independent country to the West.Inaddition,weae aiming at decaring the vedic language like
Sanskrit, Tamil as dead language where as the west is trying to identify the secret of the vedicliterature by setting up universities and research studies.What is happening in our country? NOT
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND. YET.???????????
4. WHY NO TO CONVENT EDUCATION-ANYTHING CHURCH RELATED?. THEY USE
SCHOOLS FOR SOUL HARVESTING (APPNEDIX ‗A‘) –Courtesy – Crusade Watch.The British
thinkers like Mr. Macaulay who traversed across the length and width of the country and found
that the backbone of the India is the traditional but very superior educational system which
stood the butchery of many invaders in the past. Thus, they formulated the idea of replacing theeducation system which was way superior to theirs and teaches all aspects of life not just read
and write. The Macaulay knew if Indians continued their own way of education, then the whites
could never have the supremacy they desired. That‘s why thousands of schools were built all
across India under patronage of British in the process of making every Indians feels inferior of
his own way of living and his traditional values. Even in the remotest of the villages you can find
an educational infrastructure standing from British times. That‘s not that they were bothered to
educate all Indians but they were more worried to provide alternate to the Gurukuls then existed
in every part of India. The establishment of the Christian Churches and schools in India were
intrinsically part of the European colonial enterprise. Its history is shocking for its violence andduplicity. Read the letters of St. Francis Xavier or the diary of AnandaRangaPillai .
The Indian church today is not so much different from the original 17th century Portuguesechurch that created it. It is very wealthy and corrupt and politically ambitious. But it has learned
the propaganda value of social service and is making a great effort to disassociate itself from itscolonial origins. This involves a lot of deceit, of course, and a massive cover-up of past evil
deeds.
5. PROVIDING IDEALS FROM INDIA FOR CONVERSION. The whole idea of the
baptism of Tiruvalluvar and martyrdom of St. Thomas is a gross perversion of history. It is a
grave injustice to the Hindu community that has offered refuge to persecuted Christian refugees
down through the ages. It is Hindus who have been martyred by these same Christian refugees
starting in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries when Syrian and Persian immigrants destroyedtemples to build their seven and a half St. Thomas churches in Malabar. It is Hindus who were
martyred in Goa by Catholic inquisitors and in Madras by Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican
priests who operated under the protection of the Portuguese. And it is Hindus who are martyred
today by the Christian churches and the secular press who support them, including the BBC andCNN—all of whom have mounted a base campaign of vilification and calumny against Hindu
religion and society.The Portuguese entombed the Vellangkanni Amman Temple nearNagapattinam and turned it into the famous Velankanni church called Our Lady of Health
Basilica. The Jesuits destroyed the VedapuriIswaran Temple in Pondicherry and the Cathedral
of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception now sits on the site. The list is very long. Christians
were destroying temples along with the Muslims.Christian missionaries and Marxist intellectualshave a mantra: There is nothing Hindu in Hindustan and nothing Indian in India. According to
them everything of value in Indian civilization came from outside, from someplace beyond the
pale of Sindh. They are aware of the Hindu‘s low self -esteem and seek to undermine it
further.Hindubhaktas direct their love and devotion to Shiva and Murugan, Vishnu, Krishna and
Rama, not to Jesus. Jesus has failed in India! And failed and failed and failed again inIndia!.They want to accomplish the unfinished task when they ruled this Bharat
Varsha.Christianity is a simple personality cult with an elitist ideology. It can be insinuated intoany open society. It is parasitical in nature and feeds on the spiritual and cultural body of the
society it invades. In the process it destroys the invaded culture and absorbs it into itself. This is
what happened in Pagan Europe.Hindusdo not understand this process because Hinduism isspiritually self-sufficient and does not require outside nourishment. At the same time Hindus are
flattered by the attention given to their religion and culture by Christian operators and are
vulnerable to their overtures.
6. WHAT DO THEY LEARN IN AN CONVENT?.When the teachers trffic kids for money
from one region to other Appendix ‗B‘. The teaching of testaments instills fears of God to theyoung ingnorant Hindu kids. The kids are being programmed from their childhood itself to
accept their (Western) supremacy as religion and racial superiority. What christianity is doing to
mankind is lightly explicited in the Appendix-‗C‘.What is the outcome in the long run of Christian
no value education are
(a) No respect for the elders- increase in number of old age homes.
(e) Success in life is measured in terms of wealth only.
(f) Human values are in the free fall.
(g) Selfishness.
(h) Club and Living-in Culture without Family Values.
(i) Cultural Decay- APENDIX –‗D‘by One who loves indian culture more than many
Indians
(j)
7. WHAT TO DO IN THE CURRENT SCENARIO?. The British rulers systematicallyreplaced the Gurukuls to make us accept their supremacy. The amount of money being pumpedinto our country to sustain their efforts started by the British rulers is phenomenal through
foreign aid(You can see in FCRA reports –avilableonline). The full circle of our society is not
complete with out people being educated in our value based education.The temple money goes
to the state and state does nothing to make the circle complete. Because there is no nationalwill to restore what we lost over the centuries of foreign rule. But as proud inheritors of the
Sanathana Dharma what we have done so far to need to complete the societal circle. But the
required change can be done by every one who has the DNA (Gene) of proud Indian as we cannot expect the same from the secular rulers of the contemporary India.Here are some agendas
to complete the ancient circle
(a) Need to build schools in all temples in every village.
(b) Do not send the children to Missionary run School.
(c) Learn the English language as a medium of communication not as a superior
language.
(d) Lay importance to our mother tongue which has along traditional values.
(e) Built one Health Centre in every villages.
IF The existing system continuous, NOT only India looses its face as a self sufficientcountry but also will never create a thinking man as in earlier times .Because, thecurrent education system instills not the values,confidence and self esteem which isneeded in over all growth of the children.Instead there is a systematic enculturation ofconstant fear of life and the feeling of guilty siners as prophesed by the BIBLE.
―The Gospel has been taught freely in public schools all over the world for some time. Now
children in the U.S. have that opportunity, too!‖ – from the Child Evangelism Fellowship website
A fundamentalist Christian organization, Child Evangelism Fellowship, has recently ramped up
their presence on public grade school campuses. They are emboldened by a supreme court
decision that said, to paraphrase: if schools lease facilities to anyone they can‘t exclude
religious groups like CEF. Clarence Thomas, who wrote the majority opinion, asserted that the
establishment clause was not at issue, because CEF activities were clearly distinguished fromschool sponsored activities. But are they? Can children in first grade really tell the difference?
Or has CEF crossed a line? In this interview, a Seattle parent, John Lederer, talks about what
happened at his daughter‘s school.
Why don‘t you start by telling us what Good News Clubs are.
It‘s easiest if I simply quote from their website: ―Good News C lub® is a ministry of Child
Evangelism Fellowship® in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools,
homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the childrencan easily and safely meet. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using
colorful materials from CEF Press®. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture
memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson‘s theme.‖
What is their goal?
Child evangelism 24/7―Their mission speaks for itself: ―CEF is a Bible-centered, worldwide
organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girlswith the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God and establish them in
a Bible-believing church for Christian living.‖. . . ―As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good
News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and
establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.‖. . . Each
club includes a clear presentation of the Gospel and an opportunity for children to trust Jesus as
These folks see the public elementary schools as a great vast recruiting ground. Currently they
have 140 Good News Clubs in Washington State, 100 in public elementary schools. Their goal
is to double that. They say currently one out of ten children currently has access to Good news
club; they are shooting for one in five. They claim to have 3400 of these Good News Clubs inpublic elementary schools all around the country. Some fundamentalist parents may like having
their child receive religious instruction after school, but, frankly, that is not the mission of theorganization.
Yikes. So what exactly do they do to ―evangelize and disciple‖ children?
If you ask, they won‘t share the curriculum or lesson plans. The materials are tightly held, so
parents don‘t have a good idea of what this is. They had posted that parents are welcome, so
we sat in on two of their sessions and saw some stuff that was not actually kosher. Then theytold us that we were no longer welcome.
They teach a very fairy tale version of the Christian faith. For example, they give the kids little
puzzle toys that are fun to play with but really it is a wordless tract. A black heart shows the
original sin in each child, gold is heaven, a red cross represents the blood of Christ, a whiteheart represents the pure child who has found salvation. My kid played with it for 20 minutes. I
didn‘t tell her what it is supposed to represent. The idea is that the kids bring it to school and
other kids ask about it.
These kids are easy to manipulate. Cake, cookies, balloons are very attractive to them. They
use enticements like these to get children to say to their parents, ―Can I go?‖ Children can‘t tellthe difference between good news club and school sponsored activities like chess club.
I take it you are not a fan of religion.
On the contrary. We are an interfaith family, and we regularly attend Trinity United MethodistChurch with our children. But as parents, we want to be the ones who teach our children about
spiritual matters. I resent that there is an organization trying to go around me and recruit my
child through her peers in her school to forms of belief that we do not share. They are interfering
with what that first spiritual learning is going to be, which I believe should be between a parent
and child.
How did you get caught up with this issue?
In November or December of 2008, my daughter was in 1st grade. I was on the playground
volunteering, and another parent said, ―Did you know that there was this evangelical group
running a program out of the school?‖ They had sent a flyer home by kid mail. I was surpri sed. I
thought it was illegal. Why were they showing up in my child‘s school? When I read their
mission statement and values and principles it was clear that this was a very theologically
conservative, right wing and evangelical form of Christian faith. My initial concern wasn‘t that
they existed but that they had targeted my child‘s school and my child is only 6 years old. They
are targeting very very young children.
But they are renting the space, right? Isn‘t that what the supreme court approved?
Well, that‘s another story. In Seattle, all of this is being subsidized by us the tax payers
because they get the space for free. Two policies apply: Religious groups can rent facilities but
need to pay the rates prescribed. Religious activities can‘t be held during school hours except in
areas that have been leased. But Community use by certain groups that are engaged in youth
character building youth sports, YMCA, . . . boys and girls club are able to use school facilitiesafter hours at no charge. So in the ir application they called it ‗building character in children with
biblical principles.‖ Initially it was classified as a religious organization. Then it was reclassified.
They claimed to be child character building and the district never asked to see the curriculum.The district made their decision on the basis of not wanting to be sued. This has happened
repeatedly across the country. The CEF website says explicitly that they are about religious
instruction, which means that providing space for free, subsidizing their facilities costs, is a tacitendorsement of their teachings.
How can this Not be an issue of church state boundaries?
There is an actual supreme court decision that made this possible in 2001. In a nutshell, prior to2001 a religious organization couldn‘t rent space at a public school and provide religious
education. That was seen to be in violation of the establishment clause of the constitution. In2001, a decision was written by Clarence Thomas in a case known as Good News Club vs.
Milford School District. It was a six to threedecision, but there were five separate opinions
among the nine judges. They couldn‘t agree about how to justify their decisions. The basic
finding was that if a school district makes its facilities available to community organization they
can‘t discriminate. It doesn‘t raise an establishment clause issue because there was no way that
any of the students, staff or parents could perceive that it was endorsed by the school. It was
held after school, no teachers involved, no staff involved, no way that anyone could think it was
a school or PTA activity. For that reason the establishment clause was irrelevant. Since thedecision that part of his reasoning has been ignored by the actions of CEF.
Are they in violation of the Supreme Court decision and the establishment clause?
Child Evangelism Fellowship recruitingCEF has systematically violated all of the conditions of
the supreme court decision. They clearly are not about character education they are aboutreaching children who are unchurched and bringing them into their belief system. In this
mission, they try to leverage the legitimacy of the school setting. By putting fliers in kids‘ back
packs they are clearly using the school‘s communication channels. By trying to put an Ad in the
PTA auction book at our school they tried to use the other vehicles of the school to legitimize
what they are doing and to integrate it with the school‘s activities.
But the third and most egregious example of overstepping at Loyal Heights was when the
leader of the Good News Club began volunteering in a kindergarten classroom four days perweek. This person, who didn‘t have a child in the school, who was leading the Good News Club
on Fridays was present in the kindergarten classroom, presumably so she could identifystudents who she might be able to recruit and build relationships with them. A kindergartener
can‘t tell the difference between a teacher and a volunteer. Both are authority figures who they
implicitly trust. So, from the perspective of the students it was a clear violation of the principlethat it needs to be separate. There should be no chance of confusion about whether it is part of
a school.
What can school districts do about this?
One thing the school could do is insist that all parents have full access to the curriculum. Child
Evangelism Fellowship claims that no child ever participates without a written permission from
their parents. This was cited in the 2001 decision: it‘s all voluntary. But there is no school distric tin the country that is actually enforcing that, and the way that materials are safeguarded means
that there is no way for parents actually to give informed consent. Here‘s what I would
recommend at the district level:
- Policies prohibiting participation by teachers, volunteers and staff in the CEF activity at the
same school where they work.
- The enforcement of policies that prohibit school staff and volunteers, when on the job, from
speaking or acting in a manner that can be easily perceived as promoting or endorsing religiousinstruction or practice.
- Policies that prohibit CEF from using school and PTA communication vehicles to promote
their activity, or from sponsoring school activities.
- Enforcement of student anti-harassment policies that protect students from aggressiveproselytizing.
- Assurances that the CEF, as a religious organization, will pay for the use of the space they
occupy, and that Good News Club meetings occur well after the end of the school day.
- Assurances that interested parents will have access to the CEF curriculum for inspection andthat their meetings will be open to all students and parents.
What can parents do?
Here are the recommendations we came up with out of the Loyal Heights experience.
* Review the CEF curriculum. This allows parents who may be thinking of participating in the
CEF‘s activity to make an informed decision about whether the program comprises the initialreligious and moral indoctrination they want for their children.
* Review and understand those school district policies and procedures that can help ensure
that CEF‘s religious activity are separated from the school administration, operations, andinstructional program. If necessary, push for revision of those policies and procedures.
* Be watchful and ensure that students are not subjected to pressure or harassment with regardto their religious beliefs and practices while at school. Report incidents to the school
administration.
* Try to convince other parents that while CEF may have a legal right to rent space at a public
elementary school, their activity is best suited for a neighborhood church or similar location.
Offer to assist CEF in moving their activity to a nearby location.
* Speak up and make your concerns known to other parents, school staff, and CEF leadership.
Has pushing back worked for you and the parents at Loyal Heights?
Well, at my daughter‘s school they now meet in a portable. They no longer advertise on
campus. They don‘t give out t-shirts for kids to wear to recruit other kids. I see this as a cleareffect from the parents getting organized. They may now actually be serving families who share
their beliefs. But I fear that it‘s a temporary victory. They are going to wait us out. They will once
again want to put up their balloons, their signs, and do all of the things they aren‘t allowed to do.

Promising proper education, pastors are trafficking children from the north-eastern states to
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with an oblique motive to get grants from churches and abroad, the
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights said in a damning report to the SupremeCourt.
Inquring into recent rescue of hundreds of children trafficked from the NE states and housed in
Homes illegally run by pastors in the southern states, NCPCR found that girls were even askedto give massage to the directors of these Homes and molested.
Analysing the situation in a detailed report, NCPCR said insurgency coupled with the virtualabsence of government officials at the sub-district and block level to address the education,
health and developmental problems have made the entire north-east an easy hunting ground for
middlemen to lure out children from parents in the name of providing them proper education.
\"All-out effort are being made by pastors and other category of persons who are reaching out
to source areas through middlemen for getting children in order to obtain financial support fromchurches within the country or donations from outside,\" the NCPCR said in response to a
direction from the apex court to inquire into the incidents.
The source areas for the pastors are Tamnglong, Senapati, Chandel, Bishnupur,
Churachandpur and Imphal in Manipur, North Cachar Hills in Assam and Meghalaya. The
destination states are TN, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.
\"The main reason for children being sent out by the poor parents to far off places in southernstates is due to their high expectation of quality education for their children which is not
available at their own places,\" the Commission said.
The other main reasons for the parents agreeing to send their children far awaywere no easy access to schools; lack of basic infrastructure such as roadconnectivity, power and hospitals; insurgency and lack of a sense of security
among parents to send children walking to schools; poor financial status ofparents preventing them from putting children in boarding schools; and absence of governance
in sub-district and block level to address education, health and developmental problems of
vulnerable families.
This provides a perfect opportunity for middlemen to exploit the situation and is being takenadvantage of by pastors. But, the children get caught between the devil at home and the deep
\"Mostly these children from north-east who are brought to TN and Karnataka are put in Tamil
and Kannada-medium schools for study. It is not easy for these children to have education in
the languages which are not spoken in their states,\" the Commission said.
Apart from giving a series of recommendatory directions to the NE states to improve the
educational and health facilities, NCPCR asked the Union HRD ministry to supply data about
the number of schools and hostels in the north-east currently occupied by the armed forces.
While asking the HRD ministry to open KendriyaVidyalayas, NavodayaVidyalayas and modelschools in the affected areas, the Commission said the Union home ministry must ensure that
\"the para-military forces vacate the schools and hostels occupied by them and submit an action
I would like all my Christian and Hindu friends to watch the critically acclaimed movie ―AGORA‖starring Rachel Weisz, directed by Alejandro Amenabar. It details how the last Roman paganswere persecuted by the growing Christian population. The very first thing that the Christians did
was to burn the library at Alexandria, which was not a pagan temple, but simply the greatest
center of learning in the Roman world, showing the Christians could not even tolerateKNOWLEDGE and WISDOM – after this, all the statues of the pagan gods and goddesses were
defiled and broken. Further, the pagans were not allowed to bow down to any pagan GOD. After
most of the pagans were converted, either by force or pressure, the Christian priests began their
massacre of the tiny Jewish community. Not being content with even that, the leader of theChristian priests, CRYIL, who had fanned the hatred towards the Jews earlier, now turned to his
own congregation and warned the Christian men from ever listening to their women, saying the
Bible relegated the women to a secondary place, that even GOD preferred men to women,etc…… provoking the Christians to murder the great lady teacher, mathematician and
astronomer Hypatia, who had not converted to Christianity. Earlier, her own close Christian
friends said that they could only protect her if she converted to Christianity, which she refused.Finally she was stoned to death.This same priest, Cryil, later became St.Cryil – just like Father
Xavier, who killed so many Hindus in Goa, later became known as St.Xavier.
What started with Christianity‘s dealings with the pagan Romans, as detailed in the historical
film above, extended to Christianity‘s dealings with all the ancient communities of the world –
the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Incas, the American Indians, the Aborigines, the African indigenous
faiths…………….in Mexico, the Christian missionaries burnt all the indigenous books, cla imingthat they were uncivilized and against their faith.In India, North-East Indian tribals have lost
most of their culture. Compare that with Hindu tribals – today, tribals in Chhatisgarh or Orissa, in
Maharashtra or Kerala worship mainstream Hindu deities, and yet also worship their own tribal
deites. Tribals have not lost their identity or culture. One may even compare with India‘s
influence over South-East Asia. Even though Cambodian, Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai
cultures were heavily influenced by Hinduism, it always retained a strong local flavor. Compareit with the Christian Philippines, where the people wholly follow Spanish / American culture
Sorry to say, Christianity‘s contact has been one of pure destruction and forced assimilation
No wonder, many European people are taking renewed interest in their ancient cultures, and
many are giving up Christianity
No wonder, across the tribal belts and other parts of India, many thousands of Christians are
returning back, and will return back to their ancestral Hindu faith – because Christianity is totally
alien to the Indian culture and traditions………………………..
Democracy in India has been hijacked. It takes a fortune to be elected. Politicians, elected byand for the people, once they are locked in the ivory tower that is Delhi, forget all about the
people.What is it that which India is fast losing as you read this article? Its culture. Entirepatches in the northeast are being converted to Christianity. Missionaries tell tribals that it is
sinful to enter a temple, women are asked not to wear bindis, and children are taught to lookdown on their culture as animist or heathen.
India is fast losing communal harmony. Today, even the Sikh community feels it wants to
separate from its Hindu brothers, and Christians and Muslims are encouraged to look down
upon Hindus.In the Indian media, there is a witch hunt against gurus, a deriding and mocking of
Indian spirituality, a marginalizing of Hinduism and Hindus, who constitute the immense majorityin India and are a billion worldwide, one of the most law-abiding, religious, educated, affluent
communities in the world.
More and more, Indian television particularly, but also newspapers and magazines, are casting
a look on India that is not only very critical (if you open any newspaper nowadays, you can onlyend up depressed), but which in its very nature is a Western look -- which judges India
according to Western standards.India's intellectuals defend an artist who paints one of the most
revered ancient Hindu gods doing unmentionable things to a Hindu goddess. Someone who is
part of a diabolical plot to kill Indian leaders and storm Parliament gets the benefit of the doubtfrom the same intelligentsia in the vision particularly, but also newspapers and magazines, are

India's intellectuals defend an artist who paints one of the most revered ancient Hindu godsdoing unmentionable things to a Hindu goddess. Someone who is part of a diabolical plot to kill
Indian leaders and storm Parliament gets the benefit of the doubt from the same intelligentsia in
the name of judicial correctness. Some Indians are more and more divided. Instead of feelingfirst Indians, they feel they are first Muslims and then Indians, first Dalits and then Indians, first
Christian and then Indians. This is a dangerous trend and it spells the death of the minimum
unified nationalistic pride that can take a country forward. Instead, Indians today take pride inmelting abroad, or adopting a 'secular' creed, which basically makes them soul-less and
identity-less, however brilliantly they ape the West.
As a foreigner who loves India, I feel that this blind copying of the West's ignorant and doubting
mind, the aping of whatever is has proved wrong in the West - wild consumerism, or savagecapitalism - will be a tragedy for India. The Westernization of India must not be at the cost of herculture and spirituality. Yet, there are signs that it is already happening here.
Annexure ‘A‘
THE THREAT AGAINST HINDU TEMPLES AND VEDIC CULTURE IN INDIA
This article shows how the Indian government is purposely jeopardizing the future of Hindu temples.
With a little attention, anyone can see how Hindu institutions and Hinduism in India are unfairlytargeted by a combination of vote bank politics and unscrupulous politicians and businessmen.
Particularly alarming is the destruction of Hindu institutions and the illegal mass conversions by
other religions.
Through the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act (HRCE Act) of 1951, state
governments have appointed managers to the boards of temples in the name of betteradministration, while mosques and churches are completely autonomous. This Act allowed the
state governments and politicians to take over thousands of Hindu temples and maintain
complete control over these temples and their property. Many abuses are committed by multiplestate governments using the power accorded through this Act. Then they can sell the temple
assets and properties and use the money in any way they choose. Often the temple and the
devotees who patronize them do not see any of the money, nor does it come back to assist the
Hindu community to which the temple belongs. Some of this money is that which is directlydonated by the pilgrims and devotees who attend the temple, given for the temple upkeep, or for
the priests and deities. However, some of the money is disbursed by the government for ulteriorcauses or to other non-profit organizations based on political connections.
In Andhra Pradesh under the Chief Minister, tens of thousands of acres of temple lands are soldaway leaving temples with little economic basis. This is done without the permission of the local
Hindu community. The state government and the endowments department, whose duty is to
safeguard the temple properties, have turned a blind eye to such encroachments or take overs
of temple properties. The state government recently went to the extent of regularizingencroachments at nominal prices. These encroachments are often found to be closely
associated to various political parties.
In Andhra Pradesh, Hindu temples, institutions, and Hinduism itself are illegally targeted by the
crusade of the government. Under the Temple Empowerment Act, about 34,000 temples had
come under government control. Only 18% of the revenue of these temples is said to be givenback for temple purposes, while the remaining 82% is used for other things by the government
at their discretion. Such looting, massive sale of temple lands, demolition of temples,
encroachments of temple properties, and the utilization of aggressive religious conversiontactics by Christians in the vicinity of temples is occurring all over Andhra Pradesh. The
government, which is supposed to be a protector has become a destroyer of the culture, which
threatens the very existence of Hindu institutions. Only after large public protests has the stategovernment given back a majority of the temples, yet the most profitable were still kept under
state control.
Even the world famous sacred temple at Tirumala-Tirupati is not spared. This temple collectsover Rs. 3,100 crores (tens of millions) every year, and the state government has not denied the
charge that as much as 85% of this is transferred to the state exchequer, much of which goes tocauses that are not connected with the Hindu community or Vedic temples. The government
also attempted to take over 5 out of 7 Tirumala hills for churches and tourism for the profit of
development companies and other affiliates not connected with the temple. The 1000 pillar
Mantapam hall was illegally demolished. Recently, in response to Sri Chinnajeeyar Swami‘s
petition, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has declared the demolition illegal and instructed the
TTD management at Tirupati to reconstruct it. If anyone has seen the Tirupati temple and the
difference there is without the 1000 pillar hall, it is shocking.
The Andhra Pradesh government also allowed the demolition of at least 10 temples for the
construction of a golf course. Imagine the outcry, protests, and riots that would have happened
if that would be suggested for a mosque. The son of the Chief Minister even blew up the
Sunkulamma Hindu Temple in Anantapur, and his brother, by constructing his own building, hasencroached on Gurukula trust lands worth crores (tens of millions) of rupees. While taking extra
precautions to protect churches and mosques with money from the state treasury, the
government has been selling or donating, for various government schemes and non-Hindupurposes, tens of thousands of acres of temple lands worth thousands of crores of rupees that
are meant for the perpetual sustenance of the temples. This will irreparably cripple these Hindu
institutions. Of course, that seems to be part of the plan.
The temples and Maths that did not earlier come under government supervision are taken into
government control for selling away their lands. The State Endowment Board with 77,000employees, all of whom are supported by 15-18 percent of the income from 33,000 temples, has
done little for the welfare of the Hindu institutions. At the same time, priests of temples arepenniless and temples are decaying due to lack of maintenance. Hindu priests do not want totrain children in priestly activities for lack of economical basis. This seems to be the goal of the
government to systematically wipe out Vedic culture across India.
Even while this is going on, the Andhra Pradesh government pays 12,000 rupees per pilgrim for
the Haj trip to Mecca each year, and is considering proposals to pay Christians for trips to
Bethlehem. At the same time, the government has imposed a 50% raise on the fares of statebuses on MahaShivaratri festival day, like a tax that takes advantage of the Hindu community
and makes it even more difficult for them to observe their own holidays. This is not unlike the
jizya tax the Muslims imposed on Hindus years ago just for being Hindus. Furthermore, the
most important Hindu holidays, such as RamaNavami, are being taken off the governmentholiday list to be replaced by secular holidays.
The net result of this strategic and planned selling of all temple properties, along with taxing the
Hindu community while providing funds for Christian purposes, seems to be designed to
systematically and completely cripple Hindu institutions in the state with little hope for theirsurvival. The Andhra Pradesh government Order 21 gave crores (tens of millions) of rupees for
the renovation and construction of churches, thus helping to pave the way for major
Christianization of the state using illegal techniques for mass conversions. Almost all theseactivities are a violation of the Indian constitution that is supposed to separate the state and
religion. The government also controls the media that ignore any Hindu representation. Even
the rare newspapers like Eenadu that do represent the Hindu view of things are persecuted by
unfair tax raids, and attempts to stop their Hindu devotional telecasts. They then use the secularnews media to spread false claims of attacks on Christians by fundamentalist Hindus, and to
defame popular Vedic saints who make great strides for the Dharmic cause. Their next step
has been to convert movie stars to gain influential voices, and with large amounts of money buy
the cooperation of more politicians.
Activities in other parts of India include providing provisions to the poor, as long as they convertto Christianity. I have also seen where hospitals provide free medical care, such as for women
giving birth to babies, as long as they sign papers that say they convert to Christianity. Or new
water wells established in a poor village, but in front of a church where the pastor makes sure
no non-Christians are allowed to draw water. Or large corporations hire people for upper
management only if they are Christian. In these and other ways, the plan is to convert withgoods and allurements.
Other strategies include that Hindus and tribals are told that the worship of Vedic gods isactually the worship of the devil or Satan. Or create a fear in them of hell that can only be
rectified by accepting Christianity, and tell them that they remain poor because they have not
converted. The newly converted are asked to make other converts, and to destroy Vedictemples to prove their dedication to their new faith. These are all strategies that often involve
trickery and lies that actually go against the real teachings of Jesus.
In Karnataka, for example, in 2003, as reported by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and in ―India Today‖,
79 crores ($790,000,000) was collected from about two lakh (200,000) temples. From that,
temples received 7 crores ($70,000,000) for their maintenance, Muslim Madrassas and the Hajsubsidy (for trip to Mecca) was given 59 crores, and churches about 13 crores. Because of
tactics like this, twenty-five percent of the two lakh temples i.e., about 50,000 in Karnataka, willbe closed down for lack of resources. The only way the government can continue to do this isbecause people have not stood up enough to stop it.
In Kerala, funds from the Guruvayur temple are diverted to other government projects denying
improvements to 45 Hindu temples. Land belonging to the Ayyappa temple (in Sabarimala) has
been grabbed and church backed encroaches are occupying huge areas of forestland running
into thousands of acres near Sabarimala. The communist state government of Kerala, whichnaturally has little to no respect for the Vedic culture and religion, wants to pass an ordinance to
disband the Travancore and Cochin Autonomous Devaswom Boards (TCDB) and take over
their limited independent authority of 1800 Hindu temples. In this way, the looting of temple
finances and properties continues unabated. It is said that this state alone has 29,000 Christianmissionaries and clergy and 19,000 in Muslim counterparts whose main preoccupation is
conversion of Hindus. Kerala is a precursor for the state of things to come for the Hindu
community in India. With a 56 percent Hindu population, it hardly controls 25 percent of theeconomy.
The Maharasthra state government has been moving to pass a bill that would enable it to take
over the 450,000 Hindu temples in the state. This would supply a huge amount of revenue to
correct the state‘s bankrupt condition after its bad economic policies. So, now that the state
politicians have ruined the financial condition of the state, they want to take money from the
Hindu temples and community to adjust the situation. This is but another crime against India
and its Vedic culture at the hands of its incompetent political leaders.
This is a precursor to repeat the process already happening in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and
Kerala. Articles 25 and 26 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees public establishment andmaintenance of religious institutions and to administer such property in accordance with law,
has been completely ignored toward Hindu foundations. While looting Hindu institutions, the
Governments subsidizes the ―Hajj‖ pilgrimage for the Muslims to the tune of Rs. 380 crores
annually (including subsidy to airlines), and provides 1000 crores per year for the salary ofImams, and provides funds to churches.
You may be questioining why the same pilgrimage privileges are not given to Hindus to go to
Tirupathi, Varanasi, Rameswaram, Ayodhya, Dwaraka, Badarinath, etc? It is very simple, Hindu
brothers and sisters are in deep slumber. They seem to be in denial, are pacifists, and are
certainly disunited. Plus, they do not seem to know what to do or what plan to use. Otherwise,why should they not stand up to demand the same privileges, or to stop this kind of unfair
discrimination?
The state government of Bihar has also paved the way for the loss of Rs. 2000 crores of temple
owned property because of its Endowments department, according to the religious trust
Administrator. In Orissa, the state government intends to sell over 70,000 acres of endowmentlands from the Jagannatha Temple, the proceeds of which would solve a huge financial crunch
brought about by its own mismanagement of temple assets. The state government of Rajasthan
also wants to auction various Hindu temples to the highest bidder, regardless of whether they
are Hindu or not. This flagrant diversion of wealth from Hindu temples is directly opposite theideal of a secular country, and a bold travesty of the principle of separation of church and state.
Why such occurrences are so often not known is that Indian media, especially the English
television and press, are often anti-Hindu in their approach, and, thus, not inclined to give muchcoverage, and certainly no sympathy, for anything that may affect the Hindu community.Therefore, such government actions that play against the Hindu community go on without much
or any attention attracted to them. If it was not for the attention drawn to these matters by such
organizations as the Hindu Dharma AcharyaSabha, convened by Swami DayanandaSaraswati,or the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in the U.S., there would probably be little organized
protest of such activities against the state governments of India. However, it is because of these
organizations and the volunteers who work with them that the public is being notified and called
to action to do something about this. And also why I‘m writing about it here. In this way, the
constitutional validity of the HRCE Act is being challenged. It is time that the same rights as the
minority religions of India are given to the majority Hindus and followers of the ancient Vedic
Dharma.
WHAT TO DO WE AS HNDUS NOW.
PROTECTING VEDIC TEMPLES
I order everywhere the temples pulled down and all idols broken. I know not how to
describe in words the joy I feel before the spectacle of pulling down and destroying the
idols. - Francis Xavier
It is obvious that the current laws in the country are discriminatory and against Hindu religiousinstitutions, and it is important that Hindus demand that the government accord Hindu
institutions the same status as Muslim and Christian institutions. The existence of the Hindu
majority of India is being threatened in their own homeland. Selfish politicians seem to be benton destroying the Vedic Dharma.
It is a strange thing to see, at least for me, when the bulk of the Hindu population does not
protest when a strong reaction should naturally be there. You easily see a protest against any
Hindu activity from the media, the so-called secularists and intellectuals and any other anti-
Hindus. But the Hindu majority does not speak out. This may also be due to the continuedinfluence of a foreign rule, or a slave mentality that remains after so many generations of being
dominated by outsiders. But this will not help to preserve the culture. There is a need foranother leader who can help them focus their energy in a constructive way for them to rise up in
a defensive manner.
It may also be the result of living under a constitution that does not hold the values of the Vedicpath. If the state does not recognize your personal culture as a citizen of Dharma, then you will
need to fight against it. Otherwise, your own values, tradition and the Vedic path itself may
begin to wane and even you will lose the rights to pass it along to your children in an effective
manner.
If the state is not taking care of your heritage, preserving your religion and traditions, and all themonuments or temples that are meant to uphold your culture, then you must refuse to merely be
a citizen of the Republic, and be a citizen of BharataVarsha, the Vedic society. There are manyintellectuals in America, I know as I am one of those who wonder why the Indian people tolerateso much while they see their culture being denigrated by their own so-called leaders, the
politicians who have been voted into office. There are many Westerners that are sympathetic to
the Vedic path and what it has offered. But, when they hear of the injustice within the Indiancountry, how others have the rights and government assisted funds to go on the Haj pilgrimage,
or how minorities have rights and funds to build and operate their own schools and churches,
then they wonder why do the majority Hindus tolerate this and not demand equal rights?
The trouble can be found in the Indian constitution itself, which was formed by those who had
less respect for Vedic society and provided laws to protect the minorities at the expense of the
majority. The anti-Hindu, anti-India attitude must be changed. If we are going to see thecontinuation of the tradition that gave the world Yoga, then we must work against this neglect
toward the profound history of India and its unique and deep Vedic tradition. Every religion
should be given the same rights by establishing a uniform code of conduct that every Indianmust follow, not that the Hindus are second class because the Muslims or Christians are
minorities and must be offered extra rights and advantages, as outlined in the constitution. As
these minorities have used these rights for their own advantages, and they have grown to asizable society that can take care of themselves, then they no longer need these extra
privileges. Thus, the constitution can be changed to provide a uniform code for everyone, and
the people should demand it so that everyone can live under the same rules and laws, without
some minorities having special privileges. This should be the goal of a true democracy, if that is
what India is going to be. And there should be no fear to express this. This should be the goal.Otherwise, if equal rights and a uniform code are not to be found in India, then India is not a true
democracy.
Therefore, readers are requested not to merely stand by and hope that nothing will happen to
Hindu Vedic Dharma, the culture that brought us the system of meditation, pranayama and somany other things. One thousand years of foreign rule has resulted in the loss of Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the cultural loss of Kashmir. Today a half-million Kashmiri pandits
are living as refugees in their own mother land for more than a decade and are dying in large
numbers. There has also been the cultural loss of the four states of northeast India which were
a Hindu majority as recently as 1948. Next in line for losing its traditional culture is Andhra
Pradesh.
Hindus who are complacent need to understand the consequences if the current situation
continues. Missionaries with the help of leftists and crooked politicians, pseudo-secularists,
working in a democracy with a highly corrupt political system, a culturally deprived intelligentsia,
with billions of dollars and little scruples, have the potential to convert a majority of India‘s
population away from the culture of their homeland in just a few years. This, along with vote
bank politics, can result in complete marginalization of Hindus and the division of India. In sucha situation, those who do not convert will be at an enormous disadvantage economically and
spiritually.
Any Hindu or Dharmist who is more concerned with himself, his family, and his own personal
occupational advancement over and above his contribution to his society and culture, only
decreases the future well-being of them and its traditions, and reduces his own participation insecuring a positive future for them.Nowhere in the free, democratic world are the religious
institutions managed, maligned, and controlled by the government, thus denying the religiousfreedom of the people of the country. But it is happening to Hindus in India. Government officialshave taken control of Hindu Temples because they smell money in them, they recognize the
indifference of Hindus, they are aware of the unlimited patience and tolerance of Hindus, they
also know that it is not in the blood of Hindus to go to the streets to demonstrate, destroyproperty, threaten, loot, harm, and kill. They also do not vote as a block in the elections like the
Christians and Muslims. The government has usurped the freedom of Hindus to manage their
temples, denied their human rights, and engaged in continued discrimination of Hindus.
Times have changed. The threat to the survival of Hindu civilization is real. Billions of dollars are
pouring into India every year for conversion purposes to both Christian and Islamic groups.
Even Mahatma Gandhi who fought all of his life for social justice and religious tolerance calledreligious conversions by missionaries the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of
truth.Many Hindus are sitting and watching the demise of their culture. Hindus should not sit
quiet, but must be active. They need to contribute generously to promote their culture. Theyhave to exercise their right to fight for their freedom. They need to express their views loud and
clear. It is time for all of us to wake up and see what is happening to our Hindu culture before
we lose the freedom to practice it. As I have said numerous times, the way things are going wepractically have more freedom to practice the Vedic traditions in America than in India. If we are
not careful, in the future we may have to import the Vedic path back to India from America.
Another example of the instrumental process of losing the Vedic culture and accurate rendition
of India‘s past is that in 1982, the (NCERT) National Council of Educational Research and
Training issued a directive for the rewriting of school texts. It stipulated that the ―characterization
of the medieval period as a time of conflict between Hindus and Moslems is forbidden.‖ Thus,
denial of history, or negationism, has become India‘s official educational policy. In this case,
how will people ever understand or know of the real history of India and the trials, tribulations,
and sacrifices that were made in order for their Vedic tradition to endure? Hence, every Hinduhas an obligation to read and learn the history of our forefathers who were subjected to
violence, cruelty, atrocities, and carnage. Such sacrifices under the torture of the invaders of
India were the only way that we still have the freedom to participate in the Vedic customs that
still exist today.
It is time for all Hindus and supporters of Vedic culture to stand strong for Dharma and to unite
and work together to preserve and protect their culture and glorious past by consolidating their
votes to remove those politicians who are not supportive of Vedic Dharma, and to bring in those
who are. We must remove all superficial differences among the numerous Hindu organizationsand realize that without a unified platform, all forms of discord will be taken advantage of by
those who work against us and wish to see the demise of Vedic culture. This must never
happen, and we can all work together to prevent it. Now is the time to work together more thanever.
In conclusion, we need to understand that it is necessary for all Hindus across the globe to
participate in the protection and even revival of the Hindu heritage, in freeing the temples from
government control, and in bringing unity among different sects, sampradayas, and varnas or
castes. There is a need in preserving and protecting the rights of Hindus in different countries,and in restoring our prestige, honor, and the essence of the Vedic tradition. Our motto should be
―Let us work together to protect, preserve, and promote our Vedic/Hindu culture.‖
The point is that if Hindus do not preserve their culture, who will preserve it? If Hindus do not
promote their culture, who will do it? If Hindus do not learn and practice their culture,who will doit? If Hindus do not defend their culture, who will do it? Therefore, let us all join our hands and
pray that we all will serve as guardians and champions of our heritage, so that we will not be
condemned or mistreated as we have in the past, and that our rights to observe our Vedic
