christian missionaries

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has triggered a controversy by linking religious conversions to caste discrimination in Hindu society.

The culprits had been brainwashing poor villagers by praising Jesus and abusing Hindu deities. They even lured the villagers by offering money for converting to Christianity.

An agreement has been signed with the National Development Board (NDB) so that every family can get a cow. Care of sick cows, training and forest produce based schemes have been started on a pilot basis in 6 districts, which will be expanded if successful.

John Matthew and his son in law has been arrested. The missionary's daughter and grandchildren were also staying with him.

Back in 2003, during a hearing in the Graham Staines murder case, a woman witness, Hemlata Karua, told a trial court that she had converted to Christianity under Staines’s influence and that he had tried to outrage her modesty. She told the judge that she and her husband had been to a church in their village where they met Graham Staines and his wife in October 1998.

The locals were reportedly being lured with money and job offers to convert to Christianity. They were also being instructed not to worship Hindu deities.

Locals said that the missionaries gave them bottles filled with special water and advised them to drink it for 20 days. They also asked locals to chant 'Hallelujah'.

The Gond and Baiga tribal children were fully converted to Christianity. They pray to Jesus, hold Bibles, and follow Christian rituals. The Baiga tribe, which is already facing extinction in many regions, is reportedly being aggressively targeted by such missionaries.
