what is the Anti converson bill in rajasthan?

Question

What is the religion of indian tribal?
Is anti converson bill against the human right?

Answer 1

``No conversion by force, allurements or fraudulent means''.

``No person shall convert or attempt to convert either directly or otherwise any person from one religion to another either by use of force or by allurements or by any fraudulent means''. Nor shall any person ``abet any such conversion''.

Where is the Human rights violation here? Are force , deciet and unethical means to convert are human rights?

Who will decide what is human right and what is not? missioneries?

The Niyogi Commission's Report of the Christian Missionaries Enquiry Committee MP, Nagpur, 1956 (Vol I, Part I, Chapter I) states,

"The Missionaries have throughout claimed that they are not Hindus. A continuous attempt has been made by these organisations to foster a sense of separateness amongst the Tribes from the rest of the Hindus. Speaking about the separation of the aborigines from the mass of the Indian population Mahatama Gandhiji remarked:

'We were strangers to this sort of classification -- animists -- aborigines, etc, but we have learnt it from the English rulers.' To the question put by Dr Chesterman whether Gandhiji's objection applied to areas like the Kond hills where the aboriginal races were animists, the unhesitating reply was, 'Yes, it does apply, because I know that in spite of being described as animists these tribes have from times immemorial been absorbed in Hinduism. They are, like the indigenous medicine, of the soil, and their roots lie deep there'."



Besides, what's the difference between Hindu forms of worship and the Adivasis' "animism" anyway? Don't Hindus worship trees on Vat Savitri, snakes on Nag Panchami, and cows everyday?

In 1891, J A Baines, the Census Commissioner, considered as futile the distinction between tribals who were "Hinduised" and those that followed a tribal form of religion because, "every stratum of Indian society is more or less saturated with Animistic Conceptions but little raised above those which predominate in the early state of religious development."

Ms B Nivedita, of the Vivekananda Kendra at Kanyakumari, writes, "The missionaries called the Gods and Goddesses of these [north eastern tribal] communities 'spirits'... First introducing and then popularising the use of 'spirits' for the Devi-Devata of these communities, the missionaries started their campaign for conversion. The people were told, 'You do not have God. You worship only spirits. What you have is only primitive ideas of religion and a bundle of superstitions. If you want to be saved then follow the Only True God'."In the census of 1901,

Sir Herbert Risley The People of India and commissioner of the 1901 census, observed that "Hinduism itself was animism more or less transformed by philosophy," and that no sharp line of demarcation could be drawn between them as the one melted away into the other (The People of India, 2nd edition). In 1931, the census commissioner, Dr J H Hutton, admitted that the line between Hinduism and tribal religion was difficult to draw and the inclusion of tribals within the Hindu fold was easy (Census of India, 1931, India Report, Vol I, Part I). The deputy commissioner of Amravati, Mr Stent, sent a note to the census officer saying that the educated Indian officers maintained that Gonds, Korkus, Bhils, Gowaris and Banjaras were Hindus, and that he himself conceded that when members of these tribes settled in a Hindu village they became Hindus. He commented on the tendency of Hinduism to absorb the religion of other people, and also pointed out that the aboriginals returned themselves as Hindus... (Census Report, Central Provinces and Berar, 1931, Volume XII, Part I).

Sir Herbert Risley described Hinduism as "animism transformed by metaphysics."

The Niyogi Report states, "It is not easy to find any sound reason for isolating the tribal people from the Hindus in view of the repeated admissions made that the animistic or tribal religion was hardly distinguishable from the Hindu religion. The mystery is solved when we come to examine the Missionary activities within these tribal areas."

Naga rebels use conversion for control

It is not in jest that people in Arunachal Pradesh say that Naga insurgency is a bigger threat to them than China.

But what he said in public was only the tip of the iceberg. State district and police officials reveal that these two districts are more or less under the control of Naga insurgents, especially the NSCN (Isaac-Muivah). ‘‘Whatever you may hear in Delhi about the positive trend of the Centre’s talks with the NSCN (I-M), their goal of a Greater Nagaland is on course. Tirap and Changlang — bordering both Nagaland and Myanmar — are almost under the control of insurgents,’’ said an official, a fact also confirmed by Home Ministry sources.

One of the ways, by which the NSCN (I-M) is trying to control the administration of the two districts, is through conversion to Christianity. ‘‘The demographic profile of the state, especially of the two districts, has changed over the past decade. From 2,000 in 1991, the number of Christians in the state is almost 2,00,000 now,’’ said a state government official.

And according to the general secretary of Rangfraa Faith Promotion Society in Changlang, Latsam Khimhun, most of these conversions were forcible. Rangfraa is a Hindu tribal who alleges that NSCN (I-M) rebels raided Tirap and Changlang, razed Rangfraa temples, and forced the residents to adopt Christianity.

Quoting an instance, Khimhun said, some NSCN (I-M) members came to Thanyang and Kangkho villages in Changlang on May 13, and again on May 15, asking the people to convert. ‘‘When they refused, the insurgents burnt down the temples,’’ Khimhun said. IG P.N. Aggarwal said half-dozen missionaries were arrested about five months ago when some people reported that they were being pressurized to convert. ‘‘They (the missionaries) were in jail for a month before they got bail,’’ he said.

Indian Villagers Pledge To Fight Extortion By Christian Separatists
Hindu villagers in India's restive northeastern state of Tripura have pledged to fight alleged extortion demands by a Christian separatist group, community leaders said. Militants of the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have served extortion notices to hundreds of Hindu tribals and threatened them with death if they do not pay up. "The demand notes were served only to tribal Hindu villagers with warnings of capital punishment to those who violated their diktat," said Aswathama Jamatia, head priest of the Jamatia Hoda, an influential tribal Hindu group. Police have confirmed the extortion demands by the NLFT, which is a predominantly Christian group fighting for an independent tribal homeland. Community leaders say the NLFT has demanded three percent of the annual earnings of all government employees as tax, besides charging anything between US$40.00 to $90.00 from farmers and businessmen. Tribal Hindus also accuse the NLFT of converting people to Christianity at gunpoint.

Keep the picture in mind. In age of golbelisation you have to study working of evangelists and their way of thinking and working before commenting on human rights.

From my point of vierw when christians tell me I am worshipping a false god Sent by Satan and I am going to hell even if I am a great person but not christian it is human rights violation. They are insuting me and my rights of belief.

Try propogating Hinduism even in USA and France. You will know how welcoming environment you get. Osho had to run for his life.
In france you will get arrested and in Russia church called Krishna a satan and Russian government refused to give permission for Krishna temple.

No where in the world it is as easy to run conversions as in India.
