Convert Convert Convert


Two shocking stories of Catholic conversions from Don Bosco Shelter, Mumbai, were reported in the news recently. Stories that the media and rogue religious bodies are silent about. These are the stories of Omkar Shinde, Shankar Jadhav, and Sunil Kharge.

Omkar Shinde and Shankar Jadhav were orphans from govt. orphanages who had to leave after they turned 18. The question arises: what happens to these orphans from such orphanages after they cross 18? Why is the Catholic-run Salesian congregation, Don Bosco Shelter, taking in such orphans after they are 18?

It is a no-brainer that these are planned conspiracies of the Catholic Church, especially the Salesian congregation, to convert such orphans. How many have been converted needs to be investigated. They are being converted to be good and honest human beings and citizens with education, love, and a home that nourishes them with a roof and care. Needless to mention fed with rice also. Rice Bag is a derogatory term used to describe the Christian religious institutions and the community.

These converts have become police constables. This is a threat to the alleged corruption in the Police Force. When people from such challenging backgrounds make it to positions of law and order, it is a direct attack on corruption. They are products of extreme poverty and abject deprivation, and have been converted to be good citizens of India. 

Surprising is intelligentsia like Anand Ranganathan, and media celebrity losing credibility, Arnab Goswami, who scavenge and investigate negative stories of the Christian missed this story of open conversion happening at Don Bosco Shelter. Both products of a part or their entire education from Christian educational institutions.

The frustration of some media and some in the system is because of the shaming and belittling of the Christian community that neither instigates the community nor instigates many towards them? Don't they realise this is a community that offers the other cheek when slapped on one cheek? A community that does not mind being crucified by the nails of the media and intelligentsia. They worship a God who was crucified, killed, and resurrected. Not extinct like the dinosaurs, as Arnab described them in a recent news telecast, where he kept repeating: "Convert, Convert, Convert."

Little does he realize that by the time he crowed like a cock thrice "Convert, Convert, Convert", many who would have been abandoned have been saved. Like Omkar Shinde, Shankar Jadhav, and Sunil Kharge, I take pride in being a product of a Salesian Institution, Don Bosco's Matunga, which converted the whatever little best in me in making me....me

Comments:
Me too... The Salesian way of life, taught me to become a responsible human being caring for people in general. Will that be termed as CONVERSION too, then truly I am CONVERTED.
 
Very true, we are the ones who are always ready to help people make a mark in society and to the Nation. It's an irony that all the so called politicians have their children studying in Christian schools and academy's.
