I assume most readers will not know what FoRB is. In fact, let me go that one step further, I doubt if there are many in Indian media or Indian politics who have any idea what FoRB is.
FoRB stands for Freedom of Religion or Beliefs. A concept concocted in the west by some very clever people. On 5th and 6th July, led by Government ministers and funded by the taxpayers, and International Ministerial Conference was held at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II venue in central London.
The idea being sold was that ‘Freedom of Religion or Belief’ is for all throughout the world. Now, who could object to this? No one I hear you shout. And therein we discover how a well-presented concept, borne out of western minds, can so often result in the enslavement of the masses.
I was in attendance, and I witnessed the whole process unfold before me. FoRB is controlled by the Christian fraternity. By that, I mean those who come as declared Christians or those who are Christians but disguised with other titles. Aided by the tokens from other communities of course!
I do commend those representatives of the Hazara, the Yazidi and the Uyghur community who were given a platform to talk about Islamic and Chinese atrocities. I also commend that a ‘Declaration of humanity’ pledge was presented to challenge and reject conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).
However, the overall thrust of the conference was western and Christian-centric. Not one speaker tackled the elephant in the room. When they say, ‘Freedom of Religion or Belief’, does that also mean that those faiths that promote violent conversions of the ‘Kaffirs’ should be given a free hand? That those faiths that consider me a ‘heathen’ are allowed to use their might and power to ‘harvest’ my soul for their one true God? You see underlying this very clever construct, the western Christian intellectuals have managed to get more than 50 nations signing up. Their objective, to get all nations to sign up. Once that happens, those who wish to use religion as a weapon for control, are given a free hand under the international treaty and all heathens and kaffirs are game for these poachers of the soul of humanity.
In one session we even had an outrageous attack on India, Hindus and PM Modi - all promoted as fact and led by a speaker from India called Vishal Arora of course! In his diatribe, he focussed on isolated incidents affecting a few individuals from the Muslim and Christian community in India. He failed to disclose that these two communities are the fastest growing communities in India! Now how on earth can that happen if they were being persecuted? He failed to inform that India has been a host to saving people from the Jewish, Baháʼí and Parsee communities from persecution by Islamists. He talked about lack of press freedom, yet India has got one of the highest numbers of paper media, TV media and Internet media – all open access to everyone. It became clear to me why he was invited; this was an opportunity to create an anti-India and anti-Hindu narrative on the global stage using a brown face. The moderator of the session was none other than Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, the self-declared supporter of the Pakistani community that promotes violence in Indian Jammu and Kashmir.
I would need several pages to expose everything, but suffice to say, to those in Government who thought this was a good idea, please go back to the drawing board. Maybe your objective was to do good, but the means you have adopted promotes the very people, faiths and institutions that have been responsible for countless genocide of innocent people over many centuries. If you really want to tackle real issues then to that end, I am ready to be a speaker. Are you ready to hear the truth?
FoRB as it is, comes across to me as a Trojan designed to allow some faiths the free pass to do what they like to harvest souls or convert kaffirs by force. Call me a heretic, but I can never accept such ungodly and inhuman practices, ever.
