Hindu extremists offer rewards for killing more Christians

by Balvinder Singh Lahori on December 26, 2008

I came across this very interesting story while on the net. It kind of shocked me, because India which is supposed to be the biggest democracy in the world, allows this practice to carry on by turning a blind eye to it, and by using their “dream world” Bollywood movie industry to present an “Indian dream”.

The article I saw is almost completely talking about rewards offered for killing Christians, but we can imagine that this probably went on during the masacre of Sikhs during 1984, and in Gujrat against Muslims too.

A country where over 200 freedom/independence movements are thriving currently, the likes of RSS, Bajrang Dal, (probably) BJP and other Hindu fundamentalist parties are calling for a “minority free” India. And this through a paid mass murder system that is funded by religious, and political parties of India.

Hindu extremist offer reward for killing Christians

In the picture above: Members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) party take part in a ‘Weapon Worship’ ceremony in Bhopal. Even children are being trained to be terrorists by this organisation, to kill Christians, Muslims, and Sikhs. Britain has refused to bar members of the radical group.

Extremist Hindu groups offered money, food and alcohol to mobs to kill Christians and destroy their homes, according to Christian aid workers in the eastern state of Orissa.

The allegations follow the British Government’s refusal to prevent members of two radical groups linked to the worst antiChristian violence in India since Partition entering Britain.

The US-based head of a Christian organisation that runs several orphanages in Orissa – one of India’s poorest regions – claims that Christian leaders are being targeted by Hindu militants and carry a price on their heads. “The going price to kill a pastor is $250 (£170),” Faiz Rahman, the chairman of Good News India, said.

A spokesman for the All-India Christian Council said: “People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties. They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons. They are given petrol and kerosene.”

Ram Madhav, a spokesman for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the largest hardline Hindu group, denied the claims. “The accusation is absolutely false,” he said.

Orissa has suffered a series of murders and arson attacks in recent months, with at least 67 Christians killed, according to the Roman Catholic Church. Several thousand homes have been razed and hundreds of places of worship destroyed, and crops are now wasting in the fields.

In recent weeks the violence has subsided but at least 11,000 Christian refugees remain in camps in Kandhamal, the district worst affected. “They are too scared to go home. They know that if they return to their villages they will be forced to convert to Hinduism,” Father Manoj, who is based at the Archbishop’s office in Bhubaneshwar, the state capital, said.

The violence was triggered in August by the murder of Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati, a senior figure in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a hardline Hindu group, who had campaigned against the alleged forced conversions of poor Hindus by foreign-backed Christian missionaries.

Maoist militants claimed responsibility for the killing, but the VHP blamed Christians and called for revenge. This week extremists said that if Mr Lakshmanananda’s killers were not caught by December 15 they would begin a day of violence on December 25.

A group of Catholic bishops from Orissa believe that the attacks have a sinister objective.

In a letter to the state’s chief minister they wrote: “This conflict is a calculated and preplanned masterplan to wipe out Christianity from Kandhamal in order to realise the hidden agenda . . . of establishing a Hindu nation.”

This month Lord Malloch-Brown, Minister of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, turned down a plea for members of the RSS and the Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of the VHP, to be barred from entering Britain.

“Neither organisation is proscribed in the United Kingdom or in India, nor do the Indian Government classify either as a terrorist organisation,” Lord Malloch-Brown said, in reply to a question from Lord Patten of Barnes. There have been calls from members of India’s ruling government coalition for the RSS and Bajrang Dal to be banned but analysts say the Government is unlikely to act for fear of alienating Hindu voters in the run-up to general elections in the spring.

The RSS has been outlawed temporarily three times; the first in 1948, after a former member assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.

In order to complete the project of wiping out Christians in Orissa, the fundamentalists are also enlisting women, who receive specific training in centers set up by the Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of the nationalist Hindu party Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Sources in the AICC affirm that in addition to the rewards, the Bajrang Jal has begun training programs specifically for female soldiers to be used to exterminate Christians in rural areas. “They meet in secret,” says the spokesman of the Christian movement, “and they are trained to use swords and clubs to fight and kill.”

Yes. this is an unfortunate incident in India. and Indians will deal with it.
How does it affect Pakistan ?

I thought pro pakistan is a website to talk abt the issues in Pakistan.
How is this related to you guys ? in fact, how come all the posts are about issues in India ?

Talk about indo-pak related issues and I shall accede.

Guyss, go and get a life of your own. Stop bothering about our internal affairs. We will try and solve them.

You find solutions for the problems in your country.
Once they are reasolved, then poke into ours.

One of the main problem of Pakistan is India and till the time, Indians keep meddling in our internal affairs and blame their internal problems on Pakistan, we will surely come down on India and share its true barbaric face and evil face with the world. Bavinder Singh Lahori is doing a remarkable job of bringing up the horrific accounts of evil committed by the terrorist supporting rag tag collection of states called India. Bollywood is just a cover up for the reality and we all should be interested in knowing more about the true fascist Indian parties and its followers who are a shame to humanity.

3 M Junaid Khan 12.26.08 at 8:28 am

By the way thanks to Bavinder Singh, the Indians have started accepting the facts that they are terrorizing the minorities and punishing them for just being Christians, Muslims and Sikhs.
I am sure slowly the whole reader base including the progressive and moderate Hindus will accept that Indian state is ruled by Hindu extremists.

@Has-shita
“Yes. this is an unfortunate incident in India.”
First of all, thanks for being honest with the rest here.
2nd, This is not “an incident”, unfortunate is also a VERY mild word for this paid holocaust, however us a good begining from our hindu friends here.
RSS is a terrorist organisation, involved in bombings within india, and also involved in mass murders ranging from Sikhs, to Christians in HINDUStan, from Punjab, to Gujrat, to Orissa, to Srinagar. It should have been banned like Pakistan bans the organisation india claims to be terrorists.
—————————–
“I thought pro pakistan is a website to talk abt the issues in Pakistan.
How is this related to you guys ? ”
Terrorist organisations like RSS, BJP, and others are an issue not only for Pakistan, but for Kashmir, Khalistan and probably for india itself too. Stop pretending that it isnt an issue. stop complaining about people who point out the issues. instead go and ban these organisations, and then raise your head again. this kind of terrorists are spreading terror all over the place.
—————————–
“in fact, how come all the posts are about issues in India ?”
thats a typical example of a typical hindu. Have a look around, and you will find plenty of posts about other topics. The fact is that this kind of posts that show the REALITY of INDIA are the ones that are most painful for you.
If it was any sensible person, they would want to know about the issues, and raise them untill they were resolved. So stop jumping around in your own sh1ite, and accept, come away from it, and resolve it. be positive, and face the terrorist organisations of india.
——————————
“and Indians will deal with it.”
Well, let me copy paste something from the excellent article from above:
“Neither organisation is proscribed in the United Kingdom or in India, nor do the Indian Government classify either as a terrorist organisation,” Lord Malloch-Brown said, in reply to a question from Lord Patten of Barnes.

So stop claiming that indians WILL deal with it, go and DEAL WITH IT. And the first step is to face and accept the issues like these..Just like you expect Pakistan to do and just like Pakistan infact does.

@Na-Paki indian
“shame on u”

Na-Paki, you really do live up to your name :)
The word shame being used by a nation where RSS Sangh hindu extremist terrorism is supported and ignored by the govt itself, and not banned. The word SHAME is used here by a Kafir “Na-Pak” Hindu who hasnt said a word condemning these dirty hindus running these organisation, and instead points fingers at the Christian organisations, paying money for conversions…..
PAYING MONEY FOR CONVERSIONS IS STILL BETTER THAN PAYING TO KILL THE PERSON WHO CONVERTS !!!!!!!
but you wont understand that will ya????

9 Hindustani 12.26.08 at 3:36 pm

@Na-Pak indian,
“But situation in india is not grim as u all report..”
Yes you are absolutely correct na-pak, No its not……infact its worse……just hasnt been reported fully as yet…..so hold on to your seat and watch the show, might even be an eye opener for the extremist hindus visiting the web!!!!

10 Hindustani 12.26.08 at 3:38 pm

@Na-pak indian,
“No indian has anything bad against your country”
I dont think you are “reading” the news. Dont think you are even reading this site fully !!!
Please do your research before you start claiming!!!

11 Hindustani 12.26.08 at 3:53 pm

@Hindustan
“We are not a country based on any religion …. We are Secular Democratic Republic of India”
Let me add CLAIMS to be “Secular Democratic Republic”
Mass murder of Sikhs, entering the Golden Temple, killing thousands of young men, Mass murder of Muslims in Gujrat, Killing thousands of Christians, Blockading innocent Muslim kashmiris of Disputed kashmir, allowing terrorists like RSS, Other Sanghs, and BJP to run terrorist training camps training children and women to kill non-hindu minorities, letting these pigs to even come into political elections to represent “janta”………
AND YOU SAY “We are Secular Democratic Republic of India” ?????????
I hope God almighty make you na-Pak terrorist hindus pay for every life you took, ad I hope that every one of you terrorists face the same fate you forced upon others you murdered, I hope God brings down his revenge on every one of you for every woman and child you raped and burned to this date.
INDIA MAY BE RICHER but carries a heavy burden of the curses from those who suffered due to hindus claiming to be SECULAR, yet are racist snakes and know nothing better than discriminating a person by its birth.
I hope every one including Dalits, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, christians curses you and brings you Gods Azaab, for the remaining few years of HINDUSTan. Ameen.
