paul1149 says:" When I was growing up, I was taught that Hinduism was a very peaceful, otherworldly religion. What has been occurring in India for over a decade puts the lie to that notion"
Its not a Lie paul. its true Hinduism is a peace loving, religion that searching GoD. but the Hindu Fundamentalists like in any other religion are spreading violence in thier thought, word and actions. they are not spritual people; but people who use the name Hindu, for thier illegal, unsocial, cheep political activities.
"Meanwhile, every true Hindu can also realise that responding to the gospel is not a contradiction to the Hindu search for truth because Jesus is the fulfilment of god, of seekers of the Truth right from ancient Vedic times:

Asatoma sat gamaya ( it is a verse from hindu scriptures which means...Bring me from the unreal to the truth). Jesus says, “I am the way and the truth and the life”;

Tamasoma jyotir gamaya (Bring me from darkness to light). Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”;

Mrityorma amritam gamaya (Bring me from mortality to immortality). Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”
But the Hindu fundamentalists are not seekers of God, But reresentatives of evil force. This is the fact.
Dont confuse with HINDU and Hindu Fundamentalist pl.

Thank You Believer.
Persons who have had an abortion often have many questions, the answers to which are indispensable to beginning the healing journey.
Can God ever forgive me?
Can my child?
Can I ever forgive myself?
Will the Church let me stay when I confess this sin? Will this horrible pain ever go away?
Is healing possible?

The answer to all these questions is, of course, YES!

We thank God who healed Us
And His Faithful Church Which constantly reminded Us to reconcile.

India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called the Orissa violence a "shame" and offered all help from the Centre to end the communal clashes and restore normal Life. He said he would speak to Orissa chief minister Naveen Patnaik to urge him to take all necessary steps to end the violence.
But till today the Extremists continuing thier violence.
Even in the Govt relief camps, they secretly poisoned the water resources to kill the people. they stil roaming inthe streets with torches and wepons threatening the peiple. They rejoice about the reconversion of 70 families to Hinduism.

"Orissa used to be only 2 percent Christian, and now it's 28 percent Christian"
It is the wrong Picture.
Christians make up Only 2.4 percent of Orissa’s population, means 897,861 of the total 36.7 million Orissa people.

To Help "Christians that wish to leave, to settle elsewhere because of obvious physical persecution." isnot a matter.
The Indian Costitution Says "equal opportunity and freedom of religious worship in India"
But The Hidutva fundamentalists unlawfully enforces unequality and no freedom throgh their threats and violence Activities.
Indian Christians Demands the State and Central Govt to ensure What is Accepted in the constitution, equal opportunity To Live in thier Birth place and freedom of religious worship.

Madam President,
I write with deep concern over the communal violence that has been spearheaded by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and its ally the Bajrang Dal in many districts of Orissa since 24 August 2008. The target of the violence has been the Christian minorities, most of whom are tribals and Dalits. The on-going carnage has resulted in the death of more than 26 persons. A Catholic nun has been gang-raped. More than 5000 people are still hiding in the jungles, though it is claimed that 10000 people who returned from there have been accommodated in relief camps. Hundreds of people, including priests and nuns, have been injured. More than 4014 houses have been torched and 50 churches vandalized. Shops belonging to Christians – 10 shops in Raikia alone – have been destroyed. 15 church-owned institutions have also been attacked. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal were responsible for similar attacks, killing four Christians, destroying 730 homes and vandalizing 105 churches in the same state of Orissa in December 2007.

It is obvious that these fundamental organizations that are responsible for the genocide, arson and criminal intimidation have little regard for the Constitution of India Article 21 of which, as well as Article 6 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights – to which the Government of India is a party – guarantees protection of life and personal liberty. The same organizations scoff at the freedom of conscience and the free profession, practice and propagation of religion that are enshrined in Article 25 of the Constitution of India and in Article 18 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It shall be a grave threat to the secular fabric as well as to the integration of India, if these forces are let go with impunity. It is only fitting to recall here that the Bajrang Dal has been involved in illegal manufacture of explosives: two Bajrang Dal workers were killed in a blast while making a bomb, in Nanded, on 6 April, 2006.

In this context, and with great urgency, I appeal to you, Madam President, to initiate suitable measures that:
Stop the carnage and protect the rights, lives and properties of Christians in Orissa;
provide immediate relief and adequate compensation to the victims;
ensure a climate of peace and harmony in Orissa state so that people may live without fear;
conduct an enquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the entire violence starting with the killing of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and his associates; and
ban, with immediate effect, both the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal.
Seeking your prompt and effective intervention, I remain

Yours truly,
(Name and Signature)
