Smother Teresa
That’s exactly what Mr. Mohan Bhagwat tried to do. Smother Mother Teresa with an allegation that her service to the poor was to convert. If his statement is right, then in reality he is insulting Hindus, as Mother Theresa was called “The saint of the gutters”. So this means Hindus are the only ones poor, and end up in the gutters? If she cleaning up a rotting ‘alive human being’ and giving it a dignity of life or death, why do they need conversion, as anyways they aren’t going to live long and procreate kids to be Catholics. Their near or dear ones who have anyways abandon them will neither turn to Christianity seeing the ‘Sister Act’.
We have a PM who is going about trumpeting
a ‘Swach Bharat’ (Clean India) campaign. At the same time his cronies like Mr.
Mohan Bhagwat find a problem with a religious order that is going about
cleaning rotting and uncared human beings and caring for them. So is part of
the Clean India movement getting rotting people also cleared like how people
would be now cleared of their lands with the Land Acquisition Act? These
landless would then end up in poverty and maybe some rotting in the gutter, and
get them all cleared to a bin in the process. At least Mother Teresa gave the
unwanted a dignity of death rituals and not having them rot to death.
Mother Teresa said “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other”. Mr. Bhagwat today you are destroying peace in our country with your venomous statements and trying to divide us on lines of our religious beliefs. The ruling party BJP to who your party owes allegiance too or vice versa, had one of its own MP’s, Sakshi Maharaj who claimed that Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse was a patriot. If an assassin of the Father of our Nation can be praised, what can we expect for a Mother Teresa or for that matter any Mothers, Sisters and Nuns who are anyways getting raped in our country?
The Father of our Indian Constitution
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar converted to Buddhism. At a conference in 1935 in Yeola, B. R. Ambedkar declared that he would not
die a Hindu, saying that it perpetuates caste injustices. The conversion to
Buddhism happened post 1936, after an "All Religious Conference" was
held at Lucknow, which was attended by prominent Dalit leaders. At the
conference, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and Buddhist representatives presented the
teachings of their faith to win over the Dalits. So if Buddhism could win over The
Father of our Constitution, Indians today don’t need a keeper or propagator like
Mr. Bhagwat for the Hindu faith to protect it from Christian conversions. We
Indians have realized that religion is a spiritual food and Mr. Bhagwat is not
going to decide the menu. His party may have succeeded in deciding the menu of our
physical food by banning beef, by trying to prove one man’s food is another
man’s religion.
BJP already faced the wrath of what happens when Indians collectively
exercise the religion of their vote during elections. So in Delhi, BJP, the
party who is ruling the Centre, was swept off its feet in their backyard. Not a
coincidence the party that won had a broom as its symbol, as the parties like
BJP would be swept to the gutters soon. They will not get any charity from
Indians then, maybe they could look towards the ‘Sisters of Charity’ (a
congregation started by Mother Teresa) definitely not for votes but for
conversion of their twisted gutter ideologies.
If Mother Theresa wanted to covert, the community that needs a real conversion
to Christianity, are the Christians in India themselves. A community that
cannot churn leaders like a Mother Theresa, or for that matter leaders to lead
the country. A community that regales itself in pity as a minority community in
India, when someone like Mother Theresa could be a ‘foreigner in India’ and yet
win over a majority, globally, with the work she did. The only conversion
Mother Theresa executed was converting people towards humanity. Humanity does not mean accepting injustice, as the Bible did not speak of a Christ who was only crucified, it also showed a Christ who whipped the traders outside the temple, it also displays the strength of a Samson and of a David against a Goliath.
