Stop Convent schools in India from forcing Hindu students to learn Bible ! – Demand by HJS

Solapur : Clarence High School, a convent school in Karnataka has made it compulsory for all students to learn Bible. Right from the time, the East India Company came to India for trade, to the convent schools set up by Christian missionaries, conversion of students seems to be their main goal. In the current situation, about ten lakh Hindus get converted every year which is a sorry state of affairs. On one hand, trumpets are blown about secularism while depriving Hindus of their religious rights; on the other hand, convent education institutes forcing Hindu students to learn Bible is falsity and injustice to Hindu students. All convent schools in India should, therefore, be prohibited from forcing Hindu students to learn Bible, demanded Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS). A memorandum to this effect was submitted to the Dy. District Collector and Additional District Magistrate Shama Pawar by a delegation of HJS comprising Mr Dattareya Pise, Mr Vinod Rasal, Mr Ramesh Pawar, etc. along with a devout Hindu, Shriramkrushna Tavatam.

It has been stated in the memorandum that

1. It is necessary to check what exactly is taught in convent schools. The Central Government should inquire into their sources of funds. The Central and State Governments should create government schools with good facilities to quash the dominance of convent schools. Then, the majority of Hindu students can study in such government schools.

2. Forcing young,  minor children to learn Bible and follow Christianity is religious oppression and a crime under ‘the Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005’.

Hindu parents need to think before taking admission for their children into convent schools, considering their pro-Christianity policies. – Editorscho
