Sudarshan uses statistics to drive home his point

Terming the US "India's worst enemy" RSS sar sanghchalak KS Sudarshan on Friday alleged it was running two undercover operations""Joshua I and Joshua II "" aimed at converting country's entire population into Christians.

Addressing a gathering of RSS workers here, he said "America was India's worst foreign enemy as it's funding missionary organisations for practicing conversion."

America's CIA has helped in carrying out the first operation "" Joshua I"" wherein surveys were conducted of every post office area in India and a database was created, he alleged.

"If CIA requires any information, it has to approach Joshua I in-charge Billy Graham and get it by just clicking at a mouse," the RSS leader said.

"Under the Joshua II campaign launched in 2001, they are targeting at conversion of India's entire population by 2011 and spreading wide network of churches in the country," he alleged.

"Non-government organisations like Care and Vision accept funds from them and act as agents. Behind the much-publicised aim of service, these organisations are asked to practice conversion," Sudarshan alleged.

They are attacking the weakest link in Hindus"" the SC and STs"" he said adding those who stop such activities are defamed and branded terrorist organisations as done in case of the RSS. Sudarshan also cautioned RSS activists against the increase in Muslim population and said, "if the rate continues, Hindus would be a minority community by 2060."

On recent census figures, Sudarshan said, "Hindus would become a minority community in India by 2060 if steps are not taken to stop the population boom in Muslims and Christians."

Quoting figures from a book ""Religious Demography in India"" published by Chennai's Centre for Policy Studies, Sudarshan said the Hindu population has fallen by 11 per cent from 79.03 per cent to 68.03 per cent from 1881 to 1991.

"The Muslim population has grown from 20 per cent to 30 per cent during this period. In 10 years from 1991, the population grew by six per cent," he claimed. Stating that reservation on basis of religion would compound problems, he said "Andhra Pradesh's move to reserve seats on basis of religion for Muslims paves way for India's second partition."

He accused the politicians of dividing the country on basis of caste, creed and language, in order to expand their vote banks. Accusing the communists of supporting the British during the freedom struggle by getting freedom fighters arrested, he said "the Communists follow either Stalin or Mao- both falling short of a good character."

"Mao's physician Jhesui Li had lay bare the personal life of the Communist leader in a book revealing startling facts about his (Mao's) sexual life..., and these leaders consider him a role model," Sudarshan alleged.
