NARRATIVE SHREDDED THIS WEEK
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah’s claim – “If Hinduism had equality, why would anyone convert?” – demolished by Rashtra Jyoti.
Counterpoints:
- Most modern-day conversions are evidently driven by fraudulent miracle-healing circuses, not equality.
- History of conversions: violence, genocides, threats of hellfire. Today: Charismatic Christianity preying on poor via staged exorcisms.
- Hypocrisy: Converts still corner SC quotas reserved for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists. When exposed, they claim: “We never left Hinduism in heart.”
- If conversion is for equality, let govt abolish reservations and make mass conversion policy – will Siddaramaiah dare?
