The Indian media has presented a distorted
version of Hindu-Christian clashes in Mangalore.
Here are the facts the Following are the list
of abuses from one such book - Satya Darshini - distributed by the missionaries
of New Life.
This book is in Kannada and the translation
of the abusive passage is as follows.
Urvashi - the daughter of Lord Vishnu - is
a prostitute. Vashitha is the son of this prostitute. He in turn married his
own Mother. Such a degraded person is the Guru of the Hindu God Rama. (page
48)
When Krishna himself is wallowing in darkness
of hell, how can he enlighten others? Since Krishna himself is a shady character,
there is a need for us to liberate his misled followers. (page 50)·
It was Brahma himself who kidnapped Sita.
Since Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva were themselves the victims of lust, it is
a sin to consider them as Gods. (page 39)
When the Trinity of Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiva) are consumed by lust and anger, how can they liberate others. Their
projection as Gods is nothing but a joke. (page 39).
When Vishnu asked Brahma to commit a sin,
he immediately did so. How can such a "evil brahma" be a Creator
of this Universe? How is it possible for both the sinner and the entity which
provoked the sin to be gods? (page 39)
God, please liberate the sinful people of
India who are worshipping False Gods that believe in the pleasures of illicit
'Vyabichari' relationships. (Page 39).
All the 16 incidents that took place were
not attack on Churches. In fact, unauthorized prayer halls were attacked where
the blasphemous pamphlets were distributed and aggressive proselytisation
was taking place.
These 16 incidents were not localized but
took place across three districts of Mangalore, Udupi and Chikmagalur. The
only place where attacks took place apart from New Life Prayer Halls was at
a small prayer hall in the premises of Milagres Church in Mangalore, where
some miscreants had damaged a Jesus idol. The VHP and the Bajrang Dal have
condemned the attack at this place.
Following this incident, a Christian mob gathered
and the situation went out of control as the mob started pelting stones and
disrupting traffic. The police was forced to intervene and this resulted in
unsavoury violence. Since the past two days, it is not Hindu-Christian clashes
that are taking place. In fact, it is more appropriate to call it"Christian-Police"
clashes since the Christians holed up in Churches have engaged themselves
in pelting of stones and disruption of traffic. The Police were forced to
enter the Church to clear the mob and they found arms inside the Church. Incidents
of Stabbing were reported in around four or five places across Mangalore district.
In fact, an activist belonging to Shri Ram Sena was stabbed which led to a
bandh call by Shri Ram Sena - a Hindu outfit that is not connected to Sangh
Parivar.
The VHP and the Bajrang Dal have condemned
the desecration of Jesus idol at the prayer hall adjacent to the Milagres
Church in Mangalore. They have also clarified that they are not against the
Catholic faith and the Churches. However, they have clarified that the public
outcry would continue as long as illicit conversion activities and blasphemy
of Hindu gods take place.
Even the Kandhmahal murder - which involved
the killing of Hindu monk Swami Lakshmananda by missionaries - seems to have
caste a shadow on this incident since the general public seems to have seen
through Christian aggression. It may be recalled that there was a public outcry
against illegal prayer halls in Davanagere district last week. In that case,
the administration had closed the unauthorized prayer halls that were mushrooming
in the region.
