The trouble brewing in Orissa

The recent assassination of Swami Laxamananada in Orissa doesn’t bode well for India. The issue wasn’t properly addressed by Indian print media and as usual what ever scanty news the print media provided were obviously uninformed and biased. Swami Laxamananda was associated with VHP and he dedicated his life towards the betterment of Hindus in India. One fine morning people barged into his room and pumped bullets in his body. The motive wasn’t exactly clear immediately and the assassins were unknown. What followed were riots between Hindus and Christians in Orissa. According to Indian print media lot of churches were burnt and allegedly Christians persecuted. Now we all know how much Christian missionaries love to paint themselves as victims and persecuted souls. Considering that these missionaries have mastered the coy act of persecuting others while painting themselves as victims over last two thousand years, the news Indian print media presented weren’t surprising. What was surprising and obviously frightening was Maoist Naxalites taking responsibility of killing Swami ji.

Orissa has been hotbed for Christian missionaries to ‘harvest souls’ for quite a bit. Since the famous statement Pope made on his visit to India and as if these missionaries were waiting for official confirmation the proselytizing activities went up rapidly in last ten years or so. By luring illiterate and poor people either by money or by force these Christian missionaries funded mostly by foreign institutions are changing the demography rapidly. Obviously there is going to reaction towards such nefarious and illicit activities. Various Hindu organizations actively started re-converting the ‘faithful’ and increasing the social work to stop the Christian proselytizing activities. Swami Laxamananada was on the forefront. He made substantial gains on this front and that was obviously hurting Missionary business. He received quite a few threats but that didn’t stop his work. He paid the heavy price for that.

Now it’s fairly obvious about who killed Swami ji. Yet the issue of proselytizing business that Missionaries are engaged in wasn’t addressed by anyone. Because doing so needs use of brain for one and second, it requires hard work. Brains are absent amongst Indian media and it is far easier to blame all ills of society on Hindus. Such apathy of government and Indian media is leading our society towards dark chapters that is beginning with Swami ji’s killing. It’s an open secret that the separatists’ terrorists of North-East are funded by Christian missionaries and it seems that they have started doing that in Orissa too. Naxalities by definition are secular and atheists. In theory the class struggle that they espouse is above the differences of racial or religious differences. China for example doesn’t have any state religion and nor do Russia. The government doesn’t support any religion either. (In fact, China bans foreign Christian missionaries!) So when Naxalities took responsibility of killing Swami ji there is something more going on. They have never killed any religious figure in India before. They never talked about religion either. And suddenly they are making statements that VHP and RSS is destroying secular fabric of India! It’s strange because naxalites are hell bent on destroying the fabric called India itself. If they are merely getting money from Christian missionaries to kill people then that’s scary or if they are colluding with Christian missionaries to destabilize India then that’s worst. Either ways we are in trouble.
