Role of Hindu religious Leaders and Organizations to avert Conversion. 

OPINION

What are the duties and responsibilities of Hindu religious leaders and organizations behind the huge number of Hindu population forced to desert the Hindu religion?

By Akantadeep T Majumder

Hindu religion is of Bharatiya origin. In this religion, there are many sections in the name of castes and communities, yet they are primarily Hindus. And if I term these sections as members of one family that is the Hindu family then definitely there is a head of this family. This head is none but religious head.

It is the duty and responsibility of the head of the family to supervise, control and protect each of the family members so that none can go astray, none can go out, even forced to go out of the family’s control and protection. If any of the family members goes out of the periphery of the family’s control, the strength of the family must decrease, on the other hand, strength of the family to which the left out member joins must increase. I am saying in this way because scientifically if anything is decreased by a certain quantity, this same quantity must be added to another one.

Now the main point of discussion is that whether the Hindu religious leaders and organizations are carrying out this basic and main duty to keep their members organized and protected since centuries long. The answer is No.

Most of the Hindu religious organizations and leaders are situated at about or adjacent to urban areas. It is like organizations of elite, informed and well off sections of the society. On the contrary, people from remote areas, uninformed sections of the society are separated from these urban based Hindu religious organizations and leaders.

It is historically proved and it is also fact that we have been noticing for last few decades Christian missionaries have reached to the farthest corner of this country, they are giving financial assistance to the poor Hindu people of these remote areas, giving them dwelling shelter thereby converting them into Christianity.

This process had also been followed by the Islamic organizations in India. Some Hindus were given zamindaries (land-lordship) for being converted to Islam, this conversion was also through other means, it may be by force, compulsion, torture – history has unending explanations behind such events. We can find Madrasas everywhere, to the farthest remote areas, they are preaching their fundamental philosophy secretly.

They that is the religious leaders of Islam and Christian who came from outside of india are carrying out their duty and responsibility to spread their religion by hook or by crook in this Hindu country where neither Jesus nor Muhammed nor their religions were originated. They are running their business of spreading their religion with full force without any fear and barrier.

But our Hindu religious leaders and organizations remain very indifferent when an Islamic organization and a minister of West Bengal Firhad Hakim openly in broad day light declares that non-Muslims that is mainly Hindus of this country are wretched by birth, and he openly calls for a jihad to covert these wretched Hindus into Islam. This fatwa is being given even in this Hindu country without any fear and obstruction!

There is no mass rally, protest by the irresponsible major Hindu religious leaders and organizations against this fatwa, as if they have no duty to the Hindu religion to protect it and it’s followers.

Following the philosophy- Aatithi-Deva-Bhaba- since long, the Hindu religion welcomed Islam and Christian from outside Bharat. Now these Aatithis especially the Islamic aatithi has been persecuting the host Hindu religion and it’s followers. We should keep it in mind that this archaic hindu philosophy –Aatithi-Deva_Bhaba- must be changed to the emergent need and situations for survival of existence.

This is the current situation of Hindu religion, Hindu religious leaders and organizations. It is also the question how long does Hindu religion survive the onslaughts of aadharmic agents and their agenda and when the Hindu religious leaders and organizations would apply the teaching as follows:

“Whenever there is
Decline of righteousness
And rise of unrighteousness,
I incarnate myself
To protect the virtuous
And to destroy the wicked
From age to age”
( The Geeta-IV. 7/8)
