Dear Vinay,
I am surprised at your comments as given in your below e-mail.
I am personally against conversion of any one, from 1 religion to another. I
personally believe, that a person should follow the religion, she/he was born
into.
I also believe that I am very lucky to be born an Indian, because the
constitution of our country guarantees us, the freedom to practise the religion
of our choice.
Do you also believe that if a Christian wants to convert to another religion,
in a christian country, that she/he has the right to ne tortured, because
she/he is suddenly a "threat to that Christian nation"????
Are you trying to say, that our non-violent, Catholic nuns and priests, who,
leave their homes and families, live a life without marriage and children, live
far away in states away from their homes, live a simple life, simple food, who,
by caring for their fellow non-christian Indians such as - orphans, widows,
aids patients, sick, dying,destitute, lepers, all victims of violence and
torture, as well as educating all, irrespective of caste, creed or religion,
are ------ "threatening the very existence of India as a nation" (as per your
e-mail below).
These catholic nuns and priests do all the work above, for no monetary
compensation. Have you ever asked yourself the questions - why???
Could you please tell me:-
"Why are so many non-christian Indians:-
(1)rushing for immigration to Christian countries?
(2) rushing and fighting for admissions to Christian schools and colleges in
India??
Infact, I am also shocked that our Indian ministers are openly inviting the
christian countries to set up their companies in India, as well as carrying on
trade with them.
I am equally shocked that Indians(including non-christians), who are the most
intelligent in the whole world, are working in christian countries and by
paying taxes to these countries, they are helping to make these christian
countries, strong and powerful and rich nations.
Like you, I also feel it is a shame that Indians are deserting our motherland,
to reside/work in christian countries.
In fact majority of schools in India are converting to english-medium schools
from other-medium schools. Why??? is English not the mother-tongue of these
Christian countries?
Like you, I feel proud and privileged to be called an Indian and I thank God,
to be born an Indian.
Hence I am shocked to see so many non-christian Goans deserting Goa and
migrating to foreign countries like UK, Canada etc.
When the World Bank (whose major contributors are from Christian countries),
has given aid to India, why have you not written to our government not to
accept??
In fact, you will be happy to know that christian countries do not torture
their own christian citizens. when they convert to Hinduism or any other
religion, in their country.
In fact, people throughout the World know that Hindus are very peaceful,
loving, caring and kind people.
Like you I feel sad to know that Indians are torturing their sisters and
brothers in Orissa especially, as per our PLEDGE in all our text-books in
India, one lovely line reads - "all Indians are my brothers and sisters."
All religions are good and all religions, including Hinduism is a religion that
only talks about peace, love and caring for our brothers and sisters.
I ask you - Should Indians attack each other in the name of religion?
If you personally feel, for whatever reason, it is correct to torture innocent
human beings, in India, I have nothing more to say.
