Hindus - a persecuted majority in India?

Is there a systematic attack on the Hindu community now? Let's take a look at the facts from some of the recent articles I happened to go through:

Let's start with the last article. It has been from 2015, almost 18 months back. The article cites statistics based on 2012 data. It talks about the factors causing the population share of a group or community to rise - Higher fertility rates, net immigration and a lower mortality rate. By far, the most important is the fertility rate.

What is fertility rate?

Usually it is the 'Average number of children a woman would bear' during her lifetime, assuming her childbearing conforms to her age-specific fertility rate every year of her childbearing years (typically, age 15 to 44)

Some statistics for you!



What strikes you about these statistics:

(1) Fertility rate in Hindu women has been coming down steadily

(2) Annual Growth rate of Muslims has been steadily high followed by Christian community

(3) There is a sharp decline in the fraction of the Sikh population — a fall from a 2 per cent share in 1991 to 1.7 per cent in 2011.

(4) Did you note that that the share of the Christian population has stayed constant? It should have declined significantly but stays steady. Why!?


What is going on here? Conversions!!

Christianity practises proselytisation in modern times. The analysis allows one to put a figure to the average per year conversions that modern Christian missionaries have been able to achieve. It is the gap between what the Christian population should have been in 2011 versus the reality of 27.8 million.

If Christians had the same population growth rate as Sikhs (of 1.2 per cent a year rather than the actual growth rate of 1.9 per cent a year), the total number of Christians in India would have been 24.1 million. The “excess” Christian population of 3.7 million in 2011 is very likely due to conversions. This excess translates into an average conversion rate of 1.7 lakh per year between 1991 and 2011.


Money involved in religious conversions

Oh, the article also exposes another sweet spot related to conversions - the money involved. It makes absolute logical sense in numbers and if we go by that, we are talking about over one lakh rupees at least per conversion to Christianity! That is a lot of money given the number of people we are talking about. Where and how these funds are coming into the country? Who is utilizing them to the maximum?


What's the trend in Kerala now? Religious Murders!

Read the second article and then come to the first one. During 2001-11, Muslims in Kerala have grown by 12.8 per cent, while Hindus have grown by 2.2 percent! This rubbishes the theory that given improving levels of literacy and economic conditions, all communities will show drops in their birth rates.

We are also looking at factual data related to 'Love Jihad' that no mainstream media wants to show you.

Various forms of attacks on Hindus

The attacks on Hindu community is not happening just directly, on personal basis, but also through attacks on the cultural aspects as well. Case studies are:

(1) Attack by non-devotee North Indian non-Hindus on Sabarimala

(2) Attacks on Hindu women, most recent being on movie actress Bhavna

(3) Appropriation of Hindu temple artifacts by Christians

(4) Attack on the temple elephants of Kerala, citing animal rights

(5) Attack on Hindu land lords in the name of land reforms


Conclusion

The slow domination of Hindus has been going on for two centuries, like the metaphorical frog boiled in water. If the Hindu community does not sit up and take notice even now, the Hindu majority will soon be gone. Already in some states, Hindu community is not the majority.

In light of the case studies we just saw, am wondering if all the attacks so far on Sri Sri Ravishankar, Baba Ramdev, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, etc. have been just veiled attacks on the revival of Hindu culture by the religious interest groups!
