Report Christian Schools harrassing Hindu students
The Education minister Shri Hasan Mushrif has assured the Shivsena MLA's Shri Subhash Desai and Shri Gajanan Kirtikar in the Maharastra legislative assembly of taking action against those Christian Schools who force their Hindu students to convert their religion. Therefore, we request parents facing such problems to send this information along with their written complaint in the name of under person on the mentioned e mail address.All this information can be given to the concerned MLA's for further action.
Note - Please provide Full Address of School, your contact details (Phone number is mandatory), Type of problems and supportive material and other details etc. Forcing students to make prayers as per Christian religion, not allowing to follow Hindu traditions like tilak, bindi etc. are also efforts towards converting the faith and religion.
Mumbai (Maharashtra): English medium schools ask for higher donations. Schools are forcing students to make prayers as per Christian religion. Students are severely punished or oppressed; there is compulsion on learning Bible. The above facts were brought to notice by Shri. Gajanan Keertikar and Shri. Subhash Desai, Shiv Sena MLAs. Hasan Mushrif, the State Minister for Education assured them that if a list of such schools is submitted, necessary action would be taken against them and their approval would be withdrawn.

Shiv Sena MLAs presented the issue of dwindling Marathi medium schools as compared to English schools, its reasons and proposed action. In this discussion, even MLAs from other parties brought to the notice of the Government, deteriorating conditions of schools. Shri. Desai cited the example of St. Augustine School at Nerul, Navi Mumbai and position of Hindu students in that school. The minister replied that enquiry would be made. In reply to another question, the minister said that in last 5 years, 15 Marathi schools have been closed down as parents are interested in putting their children in English schools.
When asked about having control over English medium schools and the policy of the Government, the minister said that there would be certain yardsticks and the Govt. was also making efforts to encourage Marathi medium schools.
(With all the Govt. machinery at their disposal, the minister wants opposition members to produce lists. What is then the use of irresponsible ministers? - Editor)

In Christian schools the poor, backward Hindus & Buddhists are told that ur Gods are made of stone & so they sink in water. Christian cross is made of wood & floats in water. So Christian God is greater than ur God. They are told Hinduism & Buddhism evolved from Christianity. Photos & murtis of Hindu Gods, Buddha are thrown in dirt. False promises of Jesus curing AIDS, cancer, blind person starts seeing, person without legs starts walking. Then why did their Pope die from Parkinsons disease.
Girls are prevented to wearing bangles, mehndi, bindi on forehead, malas of Hindu Gods. Boys are prevented to put tilak on forehead, rakhi, celebrate Diwali. Christian girls lure Hindu boys by flirting.

In 1936, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar said, by joining Islam or Christianity, the depressed classes would go out of the Hindu religion & culture.
Conversion will denationalise the Depressed Classes.
In Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's Writings & Speeches (Vol. 5, pp.427-444). “Christianizing the Untouchables”, he said:The Untouchable’s conversion to Christianity - on social plane they continued with the age-old stigma of being Untouchables castes – facing discrimination. Christianity never tackled the issue of caste
Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar analysed this most critical phenomenon (Ibid pp.445 - 476)
The Untouchable has remained an Untouchable notwithstanding his Christian faith. (Ibid p. 471).

Swami Vivekananda's words regarding conversions:
"Every man going out of the Hindu pale is not a man less, but an enemy more. Hindu religion & religion alone is the life of India & when that goes, India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children."
Mahatma Gandhi said in 1930 about Christians:
"If I had power and could legislate, I should certainly stop the Christians proselytising (converting Hindus). We do not want a Christian religion which gives permission to eat cow meat & drink liquor. Religious conversions is a such a poison which destroys truth & humanity from human beings"

This incidence again shows the need of religious education to our Hindhu students ragarding our customes, tradition and Hindhu sanskriti. So wake up Hindhu parents and send their childerens in our Marathi Medium School. Otherwise one day come when you send your " SURESH " and come out " SAMUEL". Think again.
by doing these foolish efforts no one can demoralise HINDUS . The one who will try to destablise HINDUISM , will destroy himself only.

Now a days our marathi school teaching,results all are not up to the mark & they are started decaying & so we must improve marathi medium school methodology for teaching so that we can resend our childrens in those schools,
Political leaders & state Gov. Can restrict parents to put their kids in marathi medium schools,so that we can teach religious way of Hindus as well.

What missionaries are doing is not new. Missionaries have been bad mouthing Hinduism for a long long time.
In 19th Century Calcutta, Maharshi Debendranath Tagore (father of Rabindranath) was so upset with bad mouthing of Hinduism in Missionary schools in Calcutta, he started separate school for Hindu boys and girls.
Bankim Chandra Chatterjee (who penned Vande-Mataram) also took strong against this denigration of Hinduism in English Press.
Even, if you read auto-biography of RK Narayan, the finest Indian writer in English, you will find denigration of Hinduism in Missionary Schools of the then Mysore.
What SS/VHP/BJP are doing now is VERY GOOD.

This is Rediculous!
The ppl responsible for this act must be kept hungry till death!
The ministers must be asked to resign or must act for the relief of such victims.
We want new policy to be framed which will stop any such attempt of any religion on any religion!!!

This is a very serious issue. what our children learn in school during childhood becomes very strong foundation to the personality and character. we all should take a firm step and stop sending our kids to these schools which insult Hinduism
