I had a student at Calicut REC in 1968 by the name Colaco and I am sure that you are not the same person. Since Colaco was one of my favorite student I thought of responding to your Gasper letter. Some of my best friends and even relatives are Christians and our celebration of Christmas used to continue till the celebration of the new year. But they are scientists who understood that the concept of god is a human made malady and religion is an organised method to loot and control the ignorant. Sometime back when I came to live in Hyderabad, the first visitors to my home were two Christian Tribal ladies working in the state government asking us to covert to Christianity and gave us a bunch of christian conversion literature. This was even before my relatives are aware that I am in Hyderabad. Such is the conversion network of Christians now in India. Christians have gone overboard in India. I found that Hindus have to convert to Christianity to get admission in BEd courses in AP colleges run by the minority racket that is the goings on in India which I read in the Times of India Newspaper in Hyderabad. Even to get a job in multinational company the relative who was living in my house in Hyderabad had to declare that his religion is Christianity. Christians have become a security threat to India. We had to postpone the 1995 planned nuclear explosion, because Americans found about our plans and they could collect this information because of the presence of Christians in our establishment. Christians on their own may not be divulging the information, but many will make secret information during the confession to priests. Christian priests and missionaries are known to be working for CIA and other spy agencies. It is not only one Mathew of the Home Dept, who is reportedly associated with Tehelka but a host of christian central government officers are undermining our government policies. In short one has to wonder about the loyalties of Christians to this nation. Please read the Tehelka expose published recently on Christian conversion going on in India. Many northeastern states in India is totally converted by foreign missionaries and these Christians are asking for separation from India. Missionaries are not even leaving Afghanistan or Iraq (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2026&e=8&u=/latimests/20040318/ts_latimes/evangelicalsflockintoiraqonamissionoffaith ). TEHELKA ON CHRISTIANS CONVERSION RACKET IN INDIA How Tehelka Cracked Conversion activities by christians in India from the newspaper Tehelka, the people's paper Tehelka says, "Like most, this one started with an innocuous tip. Our correspondent VK Shashikumar stumbled upon the database that had been painstakingly prepared over a decade by AD2000 & Beyond Movement.A careful read triggered numerous questions. The numbers and the spread of the new converts were mind-boggling. Conversions in India are not illegal, provided they are not forced or induced by financial lure or economic gain. It's precisely this that led to several queries: who was responsible for the growing numbers of faithfuls? Who were the main strategists, the financial backers? How was missionary staff coming in when the government had stopped registering societies in 1984? How were they circumventing clearly laid out procedures according to which converts have to go through the district magistrate and the police? The only way of finding definite answers was by assuning Christian identities,which Shashikumar and Mayabhushan Nagvenkar both did, they worked on investigating and piecing together the story for more than three months. In this time, they sent out more than 500 e-mails and read through more than 10,000 pages of propaganda and information. Armed with new names , fresh e-mail IDs and visiting cards, they scoured various parts of India to dig out what they discovered was a huge network.A network that had been spurred by born-again president Bush and his team of evangelist advisors. The conversion drive was more than just a numbers game: it was an unabashed exercise about exploiting legal loopholes.And the aim was sinister, for it was all being done in the name of God and his messengers who ha scientifically mappe the Christian was the relation that US trans-national organisations had personal data down to the last man, important because he was the vehicle who would get the next convert.And so our investigation unfolded too. Till we were ready with this comprehensive report." Joshua II Project : Tehelka's undercover operation managed to set up networking contacts with the Joshua II project. Evidence of the meticulous nature of this data is available with Tehelka. The amazing network that has been established can be illustrated. With the following anecdote B Shreeprakash and B. Jayaprakash from Kayamkulam, Kerala, came across the December 1998 issued of the National Missionary Intelligence publised by The National Missionary Society of India, Royappettah, Chennai, while waiting for an appointment with a doctor. That sparked off an amateur investigation exercise, the contents of which were put down in their report titled 'Conversions in India'. Here's an extract: "As part of this work, an address namely,'Workers Together' in US was contacted. To my surprise, a pastor of the Brethren Church, contacted me from my own town , his residence was only 1 km away from that of mine . He called me over telephone and invited me for a persoanl meeting . On visiting his house, he handed over to me an Oxford Edition of the Bible, printed in New York, and a few booklets and pamphlets. What astonished me was, that the pastor had with him, a copy of letter which I had sent to US.On enquiring about how the nearness of my residence with that of the Pastor was understood by the party at Bangalore. he showed me and official directory of the list of the evangelicals working in India, with their family photographs and complete details arranged in order of PIN codes.Another directory of their worldwide network was also shown to me ." There cannot , perhaps, be a better example to understand the effects of marrying the IMA's survey with Joshua Project's database.The message is this -an American missionary agency will go to any length even if it means converting just one person. A letter written to an agency in the US is re-directed immediately to Bangalore and the agency in Bangalore in turn tracks shown the nearest enavgelist and directs him to take upon the task of ministering the gospel to the newest seeker . In facct, the mission goal of IMA, according to its general seceretary,Ebenezer Sunder Raj, is:"We need a church within cycling distance, then within walking distance and finally within hearing distance." The church growth figures that are with Tehelka clearly indicate that this mission mandate is on in full swing . The "spying out" missions that generated the vast ethnographic data of the Indian people also involved detailed study of Dr KS Singh's 'People of India Project' that was launched in 1985 by the Anthropological Society of India (ASI). Under Singh's leadership, the ASI undertook an ambitious project to chart one of the most far-reaching ethnographic studies in the 20th century. Five hundred scholars spent over 26000 field days to compile information for these volumes. This gigantic research work came handy for American and Indian strategists to draft their evangelical plan for India . According to Luis Bush, "Never before has this kind of information on India been so carefully surveyed, prepared well published and distributed...We do not believe it is accidental.God is allowing us to "spy out the land " that we might go in and claim both it and its inhabitants for him." The data collcected by experts from Wycliff/Summer Institute of Linguistics, World Vision (wv) and the International Mission Board/southern Baptists to compile the Joshua Project Peoples list included a detailed and comprehensive list of the people groups in India as well. Though this may apper normal international research activity-generating ethnographic profiles of non -Christian people groups in the 10/40 window -there are unseen dangers inherent in the compilation of such accurate people group profiles. The CIA has publicly admitted to having used Wycliffe/SIL and the Southern Baptists for covert intelligence operations in many parts of the world. The cosy relationship between the Wycliffe and CIA is documented Exhaustively in a book "thy will be done" written in the 1990s by Gerald Colby and Charlotte Dennett. The book documents joint CIA-Wycliffe missions to source anthropological data from Latin America. Here's a quote from the book:"SIL had helped gather anthropological information on the Tarascan Indians that ended up in Nelson Rockefeller's intelligence files. The files contained cross-references to reveal behavioural patterns among Indin peoples in everything from socialisation (including aggressive tendencis) and personality traits, drives, emotions, and language structure, to political intrigue, kinship ties, traditional authority, mineral resources, exploitation, and labor relations. Rockefeller called these data the strategic Index of Latin America." The question that will rattle not only the Indian gevernment, but also outrage the Indian citizens is whether the American-funded "spying missions" carried out by Indian and foreign missionary agencies through more than a decade has resulted in the preparation of a 'Strategic Index of India' at the CIA headquarters? ------------------------------------------- Bernado Colaco wrote: A couple of days ago I read a message of congratulations by one Gaspar possibly based in the gulf to the viper of Taleigao.
