Your editorial comment (AV 20/12/14 – Blot on Indi’s noblest traditions) is misleading, unfair and an insult to proud Hindus.
You have commented on the symptoms but totally ignored the malady. For centuries, Hindus tolerated open and concealed conversions of its people in millions through force, fraud and inducements by the proselytising Abrahmic faiths.
Evidence of this is as clear as daylight. This was Hindus’ noblest tradition of giving freedom to all to practice their religion without interference from outside. But this tradition was taken advantage by the missionaries and Islamic rulers.
And what was the result? Wherever the Hindus became a minority, that piece of land broke away from the Motherland and as a result, they were either driven away or converted to Islam.
So when RSS and Sangh Pariwar started playing the same game as the missionaries for the defence of Hindu society, we find these pseudo-secularists create an uproar in Parliament.
Why were they silent for so many years when such conversions of Hindus were taking place?
RSS wants a national debate on this issue and also a central law to stop conversions by force, fraud or inducements. I would welcome your editorial comment on this matter.
