solutions for this atrocities
Hinduise the politics and militarize
the Hindus. The Hindus have a basic,
unbreakable, cultural unity,
though residing in different
parts of India, speaking different
languages and dialects and
sporting various life styles. Bringing back the Hindu converts
to Hindu
Dharma should be the main
agenda today
of every Hindu Dharmacharya
and Hindu religious and social Organisation. “99% of Indian Muslims and
Christians were Hindus
who were converted due to
then compelling circumstances.
Hence, their re-entry into Hindu
fold is just like home coming. This should be encouraged
through persuasion of our long
lost brethren.”
