Insanity of Hindus or the Gov’t in Hindustan

Why so much benefits to the followers of an anti-Vedic, anti-democracy, forcibly invaded Islam?

Dr. Jagan Kaul < > writes:

It is a billion dollar question you have asked Shri Singh. I hope and pray that Ms. Irani, the equally dynamic Education Minister of India, gets the point and takes appropriate action to safe guard the communal harmony and peace in India by critically investigating the content and quality of the syllabus used by Muslim Madrasas through OUT the country. Such examination should and must be considered to be an integral COMPONENT of India’s national security.

Regrettably the previous Indian regimes have quietly and systematically established a system under which Islam receives the greatest patronage in India which supersedes all the Islamic states and bogusly titled Islamic republics in the world – and India is neither a Muslim country nor Muslim majority state.

This anti-secular, anti-Hindu and outright discriminatory policy of India which unjustifiably favor Islam upon all the other religions must be abolished forthwith. Indians are no more slaves of Muslims and constitutionally all Indians have equal rights then where does the legal and constitutional authority for giving them special treatment and privileges above and beyond the body of Indian laws come from? Here are a few of the examples of this discrimination:

a) Many of the Indian mosques have established Madrasas which are partially and/or fully subsidized by the state (read Hindu taxpayers);

b) The administrative and teaching staff of these Madrasas receives salaries (partially or fully) from the state exchequers;

c) Muslims get funding from the states for building, repairing and/or renovating mosques and Madrasas;

d) Muslim students get scholarships, admissions, accommodations and many more such advantages on quota basis even by denying such relief to more qualified students from other religions;

e) Religious staff in Indian Mosques get salaries and allied facilities from the state;

f) No other country in the world, Muslim or non-Muslim, subsidizes the Annual Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia but India, a Hindu majority country does. To make sure that the remnants of India’s former oppressors and tormentors do not face any difficulties or trouble in travels India arranges special air

flights, terminals, accommodations, communication and health services for the Hajj pilgrims. From the looks of it one can deduce that War Lord Mohammad gets more recognition and respect in India

than Shiva, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Guru Nanak, Guru Gobind, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Mahaveer and other non-Muslim Gods and Goddesses – so much for Indian secularism.

g) In Govt. high cadre jobs (IAS, IPS, IFS) and other Govt. Departments Muslims enjoy quotas and minority benefits even after nearly seven decades of India’s independence.

h) The same system is followed in Indian electoral system, Govt. contracts and other fields of activities;

i) India provides, scholarships, jobs, and other kinds of relief when Hindu girls embrace Islamic fold;

j) So much so India provides special security and protection to Kashmiri Muslim terrorists and separatists who in turn encourage their followers to remove all traces of Kashmir’s Hindu past. In this regard recently a brave Indian Parliamentarian demanded to know from the Govt. where and how about 100 Hindu Temples have disappeared in Kashmir during the past two years. It may be recalled that J&K is currently ruled by a BJP-PDP separatist coalition Govt.

k) Needless to re-state that Hindu temples are being robbed by the Govt. of their offerings made by the devotees while in the only Muslim majority state of Kashmir Hindus have to pay Jaziya for going on pilgrimage to their temples in the state.

This is only a partial list of advantages enjoyed by the Muslims in India.

India vs. WTO & USA Double Standard

How the US and the WTO Crushed India’s Subsidies for Solar Energy
HOW CAN WTO BE SO SHORTSIGHTED WHEN IN EUROPE WE GET GRANTS TOWARDS SOLAR PANELS AND MANY ENERGY SAVINGS INSTALLATION IN THE HOME. IN EUROPE GOVERNMENT GIVE FEED -IN-TARIFF PAYMENT TO SOLAR PANELS OWNERS
USA & UK SUBSIDIZED FRACKING FOR GAS & OIL EXPLORATION;
INDIA SHOULD APPEAL AGAINST WTO DECISION
BY Charles Pierson

Four hundred million Indians—one quarter of India’s population—have no electricity, but as far as the United States and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are concerned, they can keep sitting in the dark.
On Wednesday, it was announced that a WTO dispute panel had found that India’s subsidies for solar power contravene WTO trade rules. India must now remove the subsidies or face trade sanctions.
The United States filed the WTO complaint in 2013. The US alleged that India’s subsidies for the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM) discriminate against foreign suppliers of solar components.
The National Solar Mission is essential to India’s goal of increasing the share of renewables in the country’s energy mix. India currently produces 255 gigawatts of electricity. 71% of that is generated from coal (International Energy Agency, 2012). Only 3 gigawatts of India’s electricity is produced from solar power, 20 gigawatts from wind power. Established in 2010, as part of India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change, NSM’s ambitious goal is to generate 100 gigawatts of electricity annually from solar power by 2022, according to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
The subsidies which provoked the ire of the United States are in the form of Domestic Content Requirements (DCRs). These mandate that a set proportion of specified materials used in the NSM must be manufactured in India. In Phase I of the NSM, the DCRs only covered solar cells and solar modules. From the US standpoint, that was bearable: US companies export few solar cells and solar modules to India. What worried the US was that India might extend the DCRs to include solar thin film technologies. US exports of thin film technologies have dominated the Indian market. US fears were realized in October 2013 when Phase II of NSM extended the DCRs to include thin film technologies.
The WTO decision issued privately to the two nations last week agreed with the United States that India’s DCRs discriminate against foreign manufacturers. This was no surprise. A few years earlier, Ontario had launched a similar effort to encourage the growth of solar power. Japan and the European Union objected to the local content requirements (LCRs) included in Ontario’s Green Economy and Green Ecology Act (GEA). In 2013, the WTO Appellate Body ruled that the GEA’s local content requirements were discriminatory.
Oddly, the trade dispute has taken place at a time when the two countries, at least on the surface, appear to be on good terms. Even stranger, the US is providing its own subsidies to assist India’s solar sector. The US has pledged to provide India with $4 billion to foster the growth of Indian solar power. On November 18, 2014, the two nations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under which the US Export-Import Bank agreed to broker up to one billion dollars in low-interest loans for development of renewable energy sources in India. The MoU was signed two months after the WTO, acting at the behest of the US, established a dispute settlement panel to hear the US challenge to India’s subsidies for solar power.
The Ex-Im Bank is currently in limbo, but that does not affect $2 billion in loans for Indian solar energy from the US Trade and Development Agency or a $1 billion loan from the federal Overseas Private Investment Corporation. Now that the WTO has struck down India’s DCRs, all that money can go to purchasing solar equipment from US corporations. So US subsidies to India serve double duty as subsidies to US corporations.
President Obama visited India in January for a summit with Prime Minister Nahendra Modi. Did the US attack on India in the WTO produce friction between the two leaders? Not so you could tell. It was all smiles between Obama and Modi.
Enviros had hoped that the summit would result in a climate deal similar to the one Obama made with China in November 2014. In November, the US agreed to cut its carbon emissions 26% to 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. China pledged that its emissions would cease to grow by 2030. The agreement is non-binding.
No such deal was reached at the Indian summit. Obama and Modi did release a peppy Joint Statement on January 27, 2015. Buried among proposals for cooperation on technology, trade, investment, communications, defense, and education are two paragraphs on clean energy and climate change. India and the US agree to work together to curb emissions. Yet unlike the China deal, no targets are set, making this no more than a feel-good assurance.
In fact, Modi has little interest in cutting carbon emissions which he regards, reasonably enough, as the responsibility of the developed countries. India’s carbon emissions of 1.7 tons per person each year are dwarfed by the Bigfoot-sized carbon footprint of the US: 17 tons for each US citizen each year (World Bank figures for 2011).
US Double Standard on Energy Subsidies
The US attack on India’s energy subsidies represents breathtaking hypocrisy. The US itself provides subsidizes for renewables. Over the past five years, federal subsidies for renewable energy have averaged $39 billion a year. The IRS provides a 30% investment tax credit for solar power. LCRs are part of many state and federal projects in the United States. India has called attention to LCRs attached to renewable energy programs in Michigan, Texas, and California. Apart from renewables, water utilities in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and parts of New England include LCRs.
India could bring a legal challenge against these subsidies. India has taken what often is the first step leading up to a WTO complaint. India has served questions on the US through the WTO asking the US to explain how its subsidies are consistent with WTO rules. But India has not gone on to file a complaint against subsidies for renewables in the US. Nor has India filed an anti-dumping complaint against the US for selling solar materials in India below cost.
And while the US sends up howls of protest that India’s DCRs constitute protectionism, the US protects its own solar sector. The US imposed tariffs against Chinese solar. China successfully challenged the US tariffs in the WTO.
Why hasn’t India dragged the US before the WTO? The answer, unsurprisingly, is money. Modi’s goal of expanding India’s reliance on renewables is achievable, but it won’t come cheap. It will take at least $100 billion in new investment. More than half of that $100 billion is going to have to come from overseas, specifically the United States. India won’t see a dime of that if it takes the US to the WTO.
So Modi had no choice but to grin for the cameras with his pal Obama at the January summit. India has been able to resist US urging that it set targets for emissions cuts, but other than that the US has gotten everything from India that it wants.
Subsidizing Climate Change
If anything, US subsidies for renewables are too stingy. Not so, US subsidies for fossil fuels. US subsidies for fossil fuels top $15 billion per year. The International Monetary Fund projects fossil fuel subsidies of $333 billion worldwide in 2015. It makes sense when you think about it. Some organizations would not survive without subsidies, like your local ballet company or ExxonMobil or BP.
Imagine that subsidies for fossil fuels were eliminated worldwide. According to an estimate from Faith Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, eliminating subsidies for oil, gas, and coal would cut world GHG emissions in half. This move alone would keep the planet under the 2 C limit required to avert a global environmental catastrophe.
The developed countries know this. And they are concerned about how fossil fuel subsidies contribute to climate change. At its 2009 summit in Pittsburgh, the G20 counties committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Since then, fossil fuel subsidies have only increased. Looking solely at the United States, since Obama took office in 2009 federal subsidies for fossil fuel production and exploration have climbed 45%. Federal subsidies for fossil fuel production and exploration are only a portion of all US subsidies for fossil fuels.
The National Solar Mission will survive; the WTO decision only strikes down the NSM’s domestic content restrictions. However, removing the DCRs may hobble the project. The WTO may have made it more difficult for India to create a future in which all Indians have electricity without the need to pump more carbon emissions into Earth’s atmosphere. The WTO decision confirms yet again that neoliberalism always favors trade over environmental protection. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) contains all the same features which enabled the WTO’s decision against India’s solar subsidies. Currently, negotiations over the TPP are stalled due to Canada’s resistance to allowing US entry into the Canadian dairy market. Good—the TPP may blow up on the launch pad. If it doesn’t, expect TPP attacks on the environment which will rival—or even surpass—the WTO’s latest decision.

THREAT OF GLOBAL JIHAD

THREAT OF GLOBAL JIHAD
– RAM KUMAR OHRI

Respected Colleagues:

I am enclosing herewith a thought provoking article written by Ram Kumar Ohri, a retired Indian Police Service official narrating the frightening scenario enacted by 1500-2000 skull-cap wearing jihadi motorcyclists in New Delhi in June, 2013 under the banners of Soldiers of Islam”, “Sons of Islam”, “Deen Riders”, etc.

In this article, Mr. Ohri is warning his readers that the soldiers of Islam are preparing to wage a global jihad against the so-called ‘kaffirs’ (read the non-Muslim) from America to the Phillipines via Europe, Middle East and Indian sub-continent.

Hence it is incumbent on the democracies of the world (USA, UK, France, Germany, India, Israel and others) to get rid of the idea of political correctness to save the civilized world from annihilation at the hands of global jihadists.

Missionary activity divides nation –By Rajiv Malhotra

Missionary activity divides nation

By Rajiv Malhotra on October 15, 2013

Dramatic scandals routinely fill India’s media headlines about some poor victim from a remote area being exploited by upper strata Delhi elites. Yet there is no investigative journalism to uncover the inconvenient facts about certain NGOs that operate what amounts to a human trafficking industry. One reason for this conspiracy of silence is that the traffickers are linked with some politically connected NGOs that make noises in the metros ostensibly on behalf of the victims. In reality the noise made serves to cover up the sinister role of NGOs in this industry that brings Christianity to the remote villages in exchange for maids to Delhi.

The elaborate scheme works as follows. Christian missionaries in adivasi (indigenous, “tribal”) areas offer poor families an inducement that is hard to resist: If the family converts to Christianity, one of its young daughters will be sent as a domestic servant to Delhi or another metro.

The affiliated “agencies” in the metros collect placement fees up to Rs 50,000 per maid from the household that hires them. In between the point of “recruitment” and the point of placement there are intermediaries that “sell”, transfer and move the young, vulnerable person through the supply chain. Money is exchanged at each stage.

The agencies keep relocating the same girl from one employer to another every few months in order to collect their placement fee repeatedly. This disruption adds to the trauma of the young girl. The agency becomes, by default, her only hope of security, and in the process she becomes even more vulnerable to the agency’s exploitation. Delhi alone is estimated to have several thousands of such girls being brought every year.

The cultural gap between India’s adivasis and its metro elites is larger in many ways than the gap between people living in Delhi and New York. The victim often gets duped into thinking that she is headed for the good life of an Indian metro, and her parents are often hand in glove in selling her into such a scheme. The money given to the parents is a “down payment” to convert them, their daughter’s placement as maid being part of the transaction. Many churches also provide safe transfer of the girl’s monthly salary back to her parents, with a certain “donation” charged by the church for its services. All this is a package deal for “being saved”.

This end-to-end system functions like the old slave trade from Africa to America and other continents — in which the church had also played a major role. Today’s racket hides behind the mask of helping the downtrodden by finding them employment in a faraway place. By no means do I wish to imply that all abuses of maids from villages are the result of this system, but that fact that such a system exists outside the bounds of investigative scrutiny is noteworthy.

In the most recent episode of this tragedy, a woman executive working for a French multinational in Delhi has been arrested on charges of committing atrocities against a girl from the Santhal tribe of Jharkhand state. The maid comes from Sahibgunj, one of India’s poorest districts. The media is having a field day sensationalising this as child labour, even after the police confirmed that documents in her village show her to be over the age of 18. The girl had worked for this executive for only 3 months, prior to which she had worked in numerous other households in Delhi since age 15. So the child labour stage of her exploitation was done under several previous employers. But there is no investigation of the previous employers. Why?

The reason for authorities not pursuing the earlier employers is that the girl is a Christian convert from a very poor family; and uncovering the entire chain of events and parties involved would expose the nexus of the Jharkhand church, the political parties that use these poor folks as their vote bank, and various NGOs involved in so-called “human rights” programs. The placement agency in Delhi is run by a Christian woman with likely links to the Jharkhand Church. The media sensationalises the matter as an isolated, localised episode when in fact it deserves to be investigated as a system of mafia-like underground network.

Brinda Karat, the rabid voice of the Communist Party of India, swung into rapid action targeting the maid’s employer, but not wanting a broader inquiry into the supply network that originates in the remote villages where her party seeks support from the church and NGOs.

Many other political leaders also saw opportunity in this scandal to show support for dalit communities whose votes can swing elections. These remote villages are also infested with Maoists seeking to topple the Indian state. The political stakes are high and NGOs compete to prove their worth by claiming to champion the plight of the poor. The same NGOs also raise funds under various “noble” pretexts.

The media ought to act more responsibly than selling us Bollywood-style action drama. To expose the large criminal networks and attack the roots of the problem, they should emphasize some systemic changes. First and foremost, it should be declared illegal to offer employment or other material inducements for religious conversion of poor and vulnerable persons. In particular, the church, parents and agencies that are involved in peddling the labor of a person under age 18 should be prosecuted. This is the nexus where the focus of prosecution should be targeted when incidents of abuse are discovered.

At the same time, one should recognise the legitimate need for domestic servants in Indian metros. To serve this demand, agencies should have to be certified periodically that they are in compliance with all laws. This must include transparency of disclosure of the full details concerning every employee and employer served. There must be a mechanism by which the legal age of a potential maid can be formally ascertained and the agency must bear this burden prior to offering her as a candidate. All commissions and salary payments must be legalised.

The media must start educating the metro employers about the laws concerning minimum wages and others aspects. Right now most Delhi households lack such awareness, as the media has focused on sensationalism without its shouldering social responsibility or due diligence.

There are also many instances of exploitation in the reverse direction that should be noted: Elderly persons in Delhi are too often being criminally attacked by their domestic servants who threaten legal action with the help of NGOs, and thereby prevent the crime from being reported. I know of cases where a youth gang has repeatedly burglarised the house of an elderly woman living alone. The police have been reluctant to file charges because of the threat by NGOs that these youth criminals are protected as “minors”. This means tougher juvenile crime laws need to be enacted and enforced.

I have anticipated such NGO-backed crimes within India since the 1990s when I first became aware of foreign nexuses intervening in India’s so-called tribal areas. It was a Harvard Roundtable Conference on Indology sponsored by Infinity foundation where I found that Western scholars had become very interested in Indian communities belonging to the “Munda” family of languages. The thesis formulated was that the Munda people were the only indigenous peoples of India. They were first invaded by the “foreign Dravidians” coming from the Middle East, and later on both the Munda and the Dravidians got invaded by the “foreign Aryans”. Thus, Indians were classified into layers with the intention of empowering one group against the others. In my earlier book, Breaking India, I mention some important US based interventions through this type of anthropology and linguistics work.

The Santhal community where the maid in the latest scandal comes from is one of the largest communities in what is called India’s “tribal belt”. Most anthropological studies on them were done by Christian missionaries since British times. The colonial-evangelical lens used was the same as for other non-Christian peoples that were encountered outside Europe, and many of its prejudices have become accepted by modern Indians. The “tribals” are considered “pagans” because they believe in “animism”, meaning that they consider all of nature as inhabited with divine spirit. (Ironically, the latest trend among Western thinkers is to appropriate these very ideas into Judeo-Christianity, using fancy new terms like “panentheism” and “immanence” after studying Hindu philosophy on which such ideas are based.) These villages have been a hotbed for missionary activities for the past few centuries, and this intensified in 1914 when the first complete translation of the Bible into the Santali language was finished by a Norwegian missionary.

Clearly, the battle for fragmenting Indians has entered a new phase. “Tribal” Indians will be increasingly exploited in various ways in the guise of bringing them human rights. The media’s framing of such episodes as “secular” crimes of an isolated kind is a shallow and inadequate treatment of what is much deeper and multilayered. This issue has far reaching implications.

Delhi Gang Rape

India’s Rotten police system

From: DEWAN SATISH < >
Subject: Rotten police system

Urgent need is to induct Army officers into the police force to bring back discipline.

Rotten police system
Vijay Oberoi

A lot has been talked and written about the horrific recent gang rape in Delhi, as well as its aftermath. While the people reacted spontaneously and emotionally, there is a need to view this unfortunate incident in the light of the fast deteriorating law and order situation in the country. ‘Fear’ of the police as a deterrent to the criminals, seems to have disappeared. The reasons are obvious.

Unfortunately, the police have given their professional abilities a go-by in favor of making money, kowtowing to the politicians and bureaucrats, and harassing the common people. While the police hierarchy must accept the blame, the political leadership and their bureaucratic advisors are equally responsible for this state of affairs, because all three entities are directly responsible for governance and interacting with the public.

The politician-bureaucrat-police nexus has crippled our nation’s potential to grow into a superpower. Now we seem to be headed towards ruin. Politicians’ platitudes, and the bureaucrats and the police patting each other’s back, appears weird, especially when the people are groaning under bad governance. In fact, the Delhi gang rape episode reflects the breakdown of the political, bureaucratic, and social and the police systems in our country; and the scant respect we have for women in our society. This rot, and the terrible wrongs being perpetrated on the people, needs to be stopped. While emotions are important, we need to look at the larger picture, and find both short and long-term solutions.

Police, and their acts of omission and commission, have brought us to such a pass that crimes are committed everyday with impunity; and they keep rising, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The media constantly highlights the steadily increasing crime graphs – the rich and the powerful getting away with the most heinous crimes; the inaction and inability of the police to curb crime; the widespread corruption in our police force; and the kowtowing of our police to the netas – but to little avail. The police needs a thorough revamping. Although the prevailing milieu has been subverted by the political leadership and the bureaucracy, it can still be brought back on track by the people; and it is heartening to see that the people have not given up. The repressive culture of the police in our country has existed for a long time. However, it has been deteriorating progressively, and now seems to have reached its nadir. Prior to Independence, the police, as an instrument of the colonial state, was widely used by our British rulers to ensure the continuity of the “Raj”. While it was a repressive force to curb dissent, the police was an efficient force in most other policing duties, from maintaining law and order, to investigations, to documenting cases correctly, to having an efficient intelligence network. It was also fairly supportive of the public.

The main reason for this was that it was led by good officers, mostly British, but some Indians, too; and a large number of mostly Captains, seconded from the army. It was on account of this that at least in Punjab a Captain was better known as a police officer than a military officer.

After Independence, as the political leadership deteriorated, so did the police. The netas became progressively more venal, only concerned with making a fast buck, institutionalizing corruption, and focusing only on elections. In this milieu, the co-option of the senior bureaucracy was almost axiomatic, as they were happy to join in the loot. This rot soon spread to the lower bureaucracy, and India transited from the ‘British Raj’ to the ‘License-Permit Raj’. The police soon joined the bandwagon and governance continued on its southward spiral.

The focus of the emotionally-charged nation after the shocking gang rape, is on more stringent laws and punishments, including the award of death sentences. However, mere enactment of laws would lead us nowhere. The need of the hour is to implement the existing laws, and a complete overhaul of the police system. Police reforms that have been hanging fire for decades need to be implemented. The politicians and bureaucrats do not want reforms, as they feel that this would reduce their powers and their ability to accumulate illegal money. Their chances of getting re-elected would also be seriously impaired as an impartial police force would ensure that the criminal elements in the political parties were steadily eliminated, and our future electoral process gets a long-awaited cleansing. If the reforms, including getting rid of weak and corrupt police persons, are decisively implemented, corruption would also reduce.

Today, the police are well ensconced in their inefficient, highly corrupt, abusive and violent avatar. That is the reason for major deterioration in police functioning. The only way the police can become an efficient and people-friendly force is for the politicians to introspect and desist from using the police in the improper way it is being used now.

The present system of selection of IPS officers must be discarded. Their selection and training must be on the lines of the army. It would instill discipline, character and leadership qualities in them. In the interim, there is a need to induct a substantial number of officers from the army at the level of Superintendent of Police (SP), whose services could be utilized to start the process of revamping the police force. The recruitment of the rank and file of the police must also be on scientific lines on merit, and not at the behest of the political leadership; for whom this is a good way of making money on the side, for consolidating their power centre, and for meeting promises made to kith, kin and party workers. Politicians would find dozens of reasons why the police reforms cannot be implemented. But the public will have to bite the bullet if we want an efficient and progressive police force that is people-friendly and disciplined.

DHARMA MESSAGES SERIES NO. 52

DEVASAHAAYAM PILLAI’S BENEDICTION (Devasahaayam pillai vaazhthapettavan);

Message and news appeared on the benediction of Devasahaayam Pillai (formerly Neelakantan Pillai) who died in 1757 January 14th in Kanyakumari District TN.

It is said that this benediction was based on the Bishop’s report to Pope in Vatican that Pillai was shot dead for embracing Christianity from the Hindu Nair family. The sad part of this benediction was that there is not even a single report in the history of India on killing a person for embracing other religion. In fact many south Indian kings invited Christians and gave them facilities for building their commercial centers, churches and preaching the religion. Under this circumstances who shot dead Devasahaayam Pillai and for what purpose ? How it did not appear in the Indian history? Is this a similar fake story like that of St Thomas?

During 1757s, south India was the fighting ground and battle field for British, French and Portuguese for building their power. Many kings and even people were shot dead like Pazhassi Raja by the western invaders. No Hindu ruler has ever killed anyone in the name of religious conversion to Hindu dharma.

In fact the Portuguese missionary cruelly killed tens of thousands of Hindus for not converting to Christianity; and that fellow was declared as ‘Saint’ Francis Xavier. Hundreds of churches are built in his name. Still Hindus did not react then or now.
Under that circumstances shooting and killing Neelakanta Pillai for converting into Christianity is a fabricated story. That is either with the aim of tarnishing Indian culture and Hindus, or for converting the remaining Hindus of Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu by elevating a Hindu to Christian Benediction level.
By Keeping the Hindu name Pillai; the shrewd Christians know that a part of Hindus can be dragged into the fold of the churches. The church is accepting the Hindu names, rituals, customs, books, methods and so on for converting the illiterate Hindus.

The Devasahaayam Pillai with chains in hands, cross nearby, in Tamilain dress on the Altar of every church can accelerate the conversion in Tamil regions using his name.

By creating such a false story, the Bishops are tarnishing the Hindu and Indian image of tolerance and sarva dharma sama bhaavana. They wanted to project that Hindus also killed Christian missionaries. However, no Hindu organization realized such a motto through the benediction of Devasahaayam Pillai.

Mr. Pillai was soldier in any one of the foreign army of British, Portuguese and French who fought each other for their supremacy and might have been shot dead for working for or against others.

Hindus do not bother elevating anyone inside or outside India to any level. But in the name of this Benediction what happened is that Hindu dharma and Indian culture got degraded, belittled, denigrated because it carries the message that Indians killed a Hindu for embracing Christianity through this fake story!
