THE CONVERSION PROBLEM ... 2

THE CONVERSION PROBLEM ... 2

For a while manifest some manhood in fighting the menace of conversion of Hindus to Islam and Christianity. Educate Hindus about their dharma. Mere make-believe religious harmony does not match the deep differences that lie in the scriptural texts of Islam and Christianity with respect to those of the Sanatan Dharma. Harmony cannot be one-sided. As Sri Aurobindo had famously said, so long as Islam and Christianity continue to convert Hindus to their fold religious harmony can never be.

It is time to set up educational cells for Hindu adolescents and the youth so that they may get a fair idea about the core principles of their dharma and are thus able to ward off the real challenge they so often face of conversion attempted on them. We must organise academic institutions that will cater to this end. Right now we, Hindus, are a disorganised, disoriented mass of men [read humans] with poor knowledge of our scriptures. This is a serious problem which we must address and solve. How we may do so will be dealt with in future discussions on this subject.
