The Conversion Agenda

"Freedom to convert" is counterproductive as a generalized doctrine. It fails to come to terms with the complex interrelationships between self and society that make the concept of individual choice meaningful. Hence, religious conversion undermines, and in extremes would dissolve, that individual autonomy and human freedom.

Conversions continue to be rampant: Hindu leader

NT Bureau
Chennai, July 9:

'It is time for Hindus to safeguard themselves from the onslaught of religious conversions, which are rampant in the country. For instance, in the southern district of Kanniyakumari, nearly 45 per cent of the population has been 'successfully' converted to Christianity, while in the last few days, a total of 24 idols of Hindu gods and goddesses have been vandalised in the district', Hindu Munnani founder Rama Gopalan has said.

Speaking to devotees during his visit to the Periyamalai Balamurugan temple in Pallavaram Wednesday, where the presiding deity of Goddess Dakshayini was destroyed by 'unidentified miscreants', a few days ago, Rama Gopalan, expressing his anguish at the incident, said, it was a barbaric act aimed at creating confusion among the people.

'The attacks on Hindu deities have increased in the recent days and Hindus are left with no other option but to safeguard themselves. Whoever had committed this shameful act should be brought to book irrespective of his caste or creed,' he said. He also warned that the Hindu Munnnani volunteers would stage protests if the perpetrators of the violence are not nabbed immediately.

Many residents of the area adjoining Periyamalai Balamurugan temple have pointed fingers at a Christian group that was 'notoriously active' in the area and also on a few Pentecost groups that thronged the hill every night to carry out prayers.

The members of the cult groups regularly shout out taunting remarks at Hindus and openly deride Hindu gods and even indulged in expansion activities.

The Hindu Munnani leader after interacting with a few devotees, said, 'when there are more than a lakh churches in Chennai alone, why should these men and women take to a hill and pray all night. The very fact that the hill is located close to international airport, unlawful gathering of such groups should be prevented, which otherwise would become a threat to national security', he added.

Stating that Christian missionaries involved in religious conversions are broadening their base in the State, Ramagopalan urged the Hindus to stand united and put an end to such nefarious activities. 'Let's us stand united and save ourselves', he said.

He said a major portion of Thiruparankundram Skandhar Malai has been encroached upon by Muslims, who claim it to be Sikandhar Malai.

New Muslim and Christian structures are coming up around Pudukottai, Villathikulam and other southern districts. 'It is our prime duty to reclaim those lands', he said.

In the name of rights of minorities, the wicked acts of these groups get justified by various political groups, he said and added that unless a solution is arrived at soon, the situation would go out of control.

Ragupathy, trustee, Balamurugan Temple, S V Badri of Hindu Acharya Sabha and a large number of devotees were present during the meeting at the temple.
