Permit me to interject to correct yet another misleading, false and misinformation/ disinformation given by Santosh. The CSF is neither a religious nor a political organisation. It is run by a layman. Further contrary to what Santosh's 'devout' Hindu friend informed him, it is not affiliated nor

So much for Marshall's bogus promise not to be the one to have the last word in this thread.  He has now re-emerged to continue his crusade against people who disagree with his religio-political agenda. This time he has decided to smear a devout Hindu by associating him with someone called

I am surprised that Marshall did not accuse me of being a hinduvta apologist - after all, my opinions were in line with those of Santosh's. I think we can all agree that the CSF is a communal organization that seeks to promote what it sees as a christian point of view by projecting its views as

I understand the position of Marshall Mendonza. Marshall is not a devout Hindu. He is a devout Christian propagandist. Therefore, he is not expected to understand what a devout Hindu apologist like Sandesh Anvekar would perceive as offensive or hateful to his own religion. Marlon has nicely

Santosh Helekar: Despite its name, the CSF is not a secular forum. It is a Catholic propaganda outfit as much as the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti is a Hindu propaganda outfit. So it is understandable that it would want to point out the flaws in the Hindu religion, and offer the Christian gospel as
