DELHI, INDIA, March 6, 2005: Emmanuel Mission, an evangelical organization, covertly indulging in conversion activities cried wolf when caught by alert Bajrang Dal workers, according to this article in The Organizer, the RSS newspaper. In the name of Bible classes, the Mission has been ferrying people from all over India to Kota in Rajasthan, apparently for religious conversions. Rajasthan is among the states that have not passed an anti-conversion law. Now, the state government has decided to bring in the law like Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Gujarat have done. Last week, the Bajrang Dal tried to stop hundreds of people from being converted into Christianity under the guise of holding religious classes. There was a group of 600 people from Kerala, a tribal group of over 30 from Udaipur, and over 800 from Andhra Pradesh. While the Bajrang Dal managed to stop the groups from Udaipur and Andhra, the contingent from Kerala reached the venue of the Mission’s Bible class. The article speculates that, “They were probably the showcase for inspection by foreign funders, as there is solid competition between various denominations of Christians to target-achieve conversions to receive the dollar doles.”
