While the BJP and RSS place their agenda in his mind and mouth on what to speak as slave to the fundamentalist dialogue that they wish to be part of, in order to guard his seat from being ousted by the party, he is trying to speak foolishness without an open mind, having the agenda of the Hindutva in mind- to uphold the power of the Hindu with the number that they feel is likely decreasing.. from conversions they see happening. While they try to rule by the 'might is right' philosophy, they are trying to use violence to increase the number of Hindus, so they can be satisfied with the number of Hindus not becoming lesser in number in any way, but shooting up. With crimes against humanity if they think they can increase the numbers of Hindus, using laws like the anti-conversion bill that they are trying to pass so that the law is in their hands and would justify their cruel acts, aren't these BJP ministers acting as another Hitlers in disguise, who are in to subtly persecute all people of other faiths openly and instigate fear in them from publicly practicing their religion. One day they will realize after having done all the massacre that they accomplish from including themselves to maligh thoughts, that their same minds that thought hatred and revenge and narrowly saw people of other faiths as their enemies in the core of their hearts as seen through their actions, the same minds had the potential to think differently and act differently to work for the good of mankind, for uplifting, uniting and not tearing and dividing people apart, distancing them from each other instigating fear on the basis of religion. If they truely love their religion, they will love the people of other faiths as well and step down from their fundamentalist stance to embrace people of other faiths and not depend on the majority number of people to stay Hindus, but rather would focus on living with integrity and building a human race where everyone works for the common good and betterment of each other, not their own benefits, and benefits of people of their own religion or sect, but beyond that. When they realise that they too have the potential to love beyond measure, only that they choose to think and act in a manner that would make it a reality, then they will truly practice their religion. They only need time to mature in their own religion, which cannot happen easily, but will take time as only time can teach them, from theexperiences they gain so that at least at their death bed they don't get late to realize that they need not be slaves anymore to any fundamentalist thought process or line of thought, but can set themselves free to own their lives as responsible human beings who are responsible to do good to the other human being before them irrespective of religion, caste or creed.

[@benedictantony9552]

@JUST ONE To me all forms of fundamentalism is due to immature understanding of religion. (It is not justified in calling a religion as socialist or communist which are mere ideologies proposed by mere human beings like u and me. And no such ideology is perfectly devoid of hatred completely, rather they only support one group to hate another in some way or the other. Religion by far, any religion for the matter, has a God or a deity or deities that the socialists outrightly deny ) All it matters is that every religion matures to grow beyond a fundamentalist standpoint to a more mature way of understanding that the religion that one has come to accept can't be imposed upon another as the truth one has attained to cannot be simply taught to someone, everyone learns and internalises religion based on their own personal experience. All it takes for a religion to mature is time. Christians had their time of being fundamentalist at a time during the Crusades. Now they have learned lessons from their violence inflicted in the name of religion and become more mature in their practice of religion by being least interested in imposing their religion on another. (Except perhaps a minority among them sadly like the Protestant pastors who might still want to forcefully convert people foolishly for money to fill into their pockets. But all this is false practice of religion). Where's there is true practice of religion, there should be harmony, and acceptance of other people's faiths- where people are not led by fear of loosing their faith just by living among people of other faiths or getting to know more about the people of other faiths who live with them. But I am certainly critical of the way things are turning out in Karnataka, with the BJP leaders not wanting to publicly accept their foolish acts out of their ego and fear of loosing their pride, while subtly persecuting the Christians, disrupting services in Churches, prayer centres, while not wanting to speak openly about them. They know in their heart of hearts that they are doing something wrong and maintaining a double face before the media, as if only their level of wickedness can drive them higher in the political ladder in their party. Better call themselves a terrorist group than a political party then if they are only interested in fulfilling their vested interests of the Hindu majority, while not standing to support the interests of the people as a whole- irrespective of caste, creed or religion. If they cannot practice their religion without the fundamentalist angle ingrained in the practice of caste-based inequalities and non-inclusive practices as iterated by those fundamentalist Hindu leaders like Savarkar. It might take time for them to understand the hypocrisy hidden in their teachings, who wish to promote all practices that please their ego. If I am asked to compare the practices propagated by these fundamentalist leaders, they are thr ones who can easily can easily go hand in hand with socialism, communism and such ideologies that would finally proclaim the human themselves as gods!! Utter justification for a proud mind. True religion would instead challenge oneself, one's pride and instead begin to learn to know the God in the religion they practice more closely, and being genuinely interested in the practice of true religion, would not want to impose one's religion and practices on another, the true meaning of which one would have taken a lifetime to understand and grasp in the process of constantly trying to know more deeply the crux of one's religion and become rooted in it. Fundamentalism as of the Hindutva BJP leaders of today doesn't stand a chance to be part of such a maturation of understanding what Hinduism means. It's pure hypocrisy and questioning the very root of a person who tries to practice the values of Sanatanadharma in Himdu tradition and more such higher inclusive values with all integrity.

I'm not understanding the logic here... First off, how can you can call a conversion from any religion as forceful? Because at the end of the day it purely the individuals wish to whether to follow that religions path. Its like an individual claiming to be married to someone is accepted as legal in India is based on a marriage certificate. Now that is a commonly known certificate asked in all the countries, if you travel as a couple. But in the same act, it doesn't define that its mandate for a couple to be married to stay together. It is purely their choice. Second, If the individual is claimed to be converted. Doesn't the individual have basic common sense or sense to file a complaint to the police department with evidence. Because I'm pretty sure, while this act is happening forcefully they are creating witness in their surroundings including street cctv footages. Third, every single individual born in this world is not born with a religion. Its the individual's right to choose the path to accept and worship God be it Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhism, Sikhism etc etc.... Or live with no faith.... Why people should be forced to follow a religion, cast, food they eat... I think, such atrocities might be the reason that I'm not able to see Christmas decorations are placed outside a Christian/non-christian's residence in Bangalore... The hate crime being build in the name is religion is going extreme and extreme with BJP run states/districts... This is totally against the constitution of India.

That is not the fault of any Christian church, its the fault within his/her own current religion that makes an individual feel guilty and leave the path they had chosen previously.. this is a common logic in all religion, not specific to Christianity... If people create crimes in the name of the religion. There is a majority of followers that start to hate either their own religion or make amendments to their own procedures for their religion that they follow or change their religion/name is required. Creating logic less debates/issues on the religions instead of focusing on the other crises happening within in the country. Is equal to creating religious/communal violence. Those are brainwashed people who follow an individual blindly without ZERO facts and figures nor has the capability to be a man of himself rather being a puppet to the influencer of communal violators.

Majority Hindus want Hindu Rashtra, they are unable to tolerate other religions, they are our brothers and sisters, so it's time for Christians to pack our bags and exit the country, we are no more welcomed here, we were once part of this country but not anymore. The situation in the country looks like we don't belong here anymore.

As far as my understanding goes, Hindus don't have any problem with people of other religions. In fact, people of other religions have more freedoms here than anywhere else in the world.
