Time to talk about the insane, nonsensical and regressive movement, by a bunch of uneducated, illiterate, dumb and useless people.
What the hell are the Bajrang Dal lot doing in Orrisa and Karnataka?
Have they gone crazy or what?
Is this any way to get noticed and appear in the news?
Christianity has existed in India for the last 2000 years. Yet just a 2.6% of the entire population is catholic. A people in this country who believe they are doing service to God.
Just 2.6%!!!
Their God is Jesus.
Who is your God?
I am a Hindu, and a devout one at that, but I know that none of the million Gods I believe in, belong to any of you.
I pray to all my Gods that some sense prevails on you and we start treating our temples like christians treat their churches.
We keep our places of worship as clean, and as pure as they keep their places of worship.
I pray everyday that we too, like the christians realise that our temples are not just an expression of the wealth of the wealthy but actually such places of worship in which our wealthy offer their money for service to mankind.
If all offerings are gold embedded with precious stone seats or crowns for our idols, engraved with the names of the charitable so that they are immortalised along with the Lords, then who will contribute towards education, food, shelter and security for the poorest of the poor?
Trust me , its time to take a serious and hard look at our own religion.
Time to realise why people need to convert from having no religion to christianity. (Or take up christianity as a religion in this case, because conversion is out of question).
What religion does that poor man or woman belong to whose children scavenge with cows and buffaloes on the same garbage dumps in our country?
What religion do those desperates belong too who are subjected to menial labour across the nation building highways and highrises and not even paid a price of dignity for a whole relentless day of painful labour?
Do we value them?
Do we care about their children?
Do we give a damn about the fact that the fat contractor is taking away all their money while they subsist on bare wages, that hardly see them through a single meal a day existence?
Do we once give a thought to the conditions they live in, come hail or storm, and the manner in which they die?
Do we call them Hindus or do we call them Muslims when we see them lying in anguish and pain ouside temples and mosques, crippled with leprosy and begging for survival, while the pandas and pundits get fatter and fatter consuming free supplies of milk, ghee and cash offerrings?
Do we build schools for the children strewn across the landscapes?
Do we set up medical facilities?
Do we set up medical facilities?
Do we create shelters?
Do we dole out free meals and livlihoods with all the collections which are rounded up in crores and crores every year?
No.
So we dare not question those who do.
Dare not point a finger at Mother Teresa's nuns and the priests belonging to various parishes, as they are only doing what each one of us should be doing.
They are giving the needy a faith to believe in, a religion to follow and a God who they can call their own.
Dare we say a word against them unless we have the desire and the decipline, as well as the compassion in our hearts to do the same.
Take missionary positions, you creatures, else shut your mouths before we stuff them with your own words which will be too hard to swallow.
