Conspiracy theology: According to WorldWide Religious News, the leader of a growing Hindu nationalist group is accusing the United States of mounting an effort to convert Indians to the Christian faith.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh [or RSS] chief K. S. Sudarshan yesterday alleged that the CIA of U.S.A. with the help of NGOs was indulging in religious conversions in India.
Delivering the special address at a symposium on “Empowerment of Hindu Intelligentsia,”… he claimed that the U.S. government had allocated $20 billion for the NGOs to work and convert people to Christianity.
“The CIA planned to establish one church in every post office area. The churches would be established walking distance and voice distance away,” he said.
He said the NGOs planned to set up schools, hospitals, etc., to veer the rural people away from their Hindu moorings.
He alleged that the missionaries were also misleading the tribals, with whom they worked, by saying that Aryans had invaded their land.
But wait, there’s more! Sudarshan also accused Muslims of trying to spread their religion by migrating to new areas, infiltration and jihad, and claimed Pakistan is building mosques and madrasas along the border with India to convert Hindus to Islam. Hmmm, wonder why he didn’t accuse the Jews of anything ….
