OPPOSE ANTI-CHRISTIAN TIATRISTS & POLITICIANS.

OPPOSE ANTI-CHRISTIAN TIATRISTS AND POLITICIANS.

India since time immemorial is considered as tolerant place. Indians tolerate one another in many respects. Yet we are very much discriminatory in some important aspects. We love each other yet we also hate each on different grounds; religion is one ground on which we hate one another. Because of religious discriminations India was devided in 1947. Mahatma Gandhi tried his level best to unite different religious communities especially the major Hindu and Muslim communities as one homogenous entity but all was in vain. Because of his attempts to create Hindu-Muslim amity he had to sacrifice his precious life. It is true that India is dominated by Hindus yet all Hindus are not fanatics. Majority of Hindus are secular and tolerant otherwise with the backing of their strong majority they would convert India into a theocratic state, like Pakistan.

Since recent past communalism in India is raising its head high and this was proved beyond doubt by the sudden rise of BJP which is based on the principle of communalism. Today they are targeting Muslims with greater fury but tomorrow they will direct all their energies against Christians because according to BJP any religion which has its roots in the West should be demolished from India. That they are so anti-Christian was already proved by their communal actions of targeting Christian places of worship, Nuns, Priests and Missionaries. They feel Islam and Christianity are foreign religions and as such they should be banished from India. Some of the BJP stalwarts fuming with anger against Christians say that since Christianity is a Western religion inducted by the Europeans especially by the Portuguese in Goa, it should be banished from India and Goa. It is a pity that they don’t know the correct history of Christianity in Goa and India. Christianity is not a Western or European religion. It is an Asian religion established by Asian Jesus Christ from Asian place called Palestine. It was brought to India not by the Portuguese nor by the British, French and Dutch but by the very disciple of Jesus Christ named St. Thomas who was also an Asian from Jerusalem. And thank God that Christianity came into India and Goa in particular otherwise Indians would eat Indians only by destroying and killing one another on any flimsy ground. Because of the advent of Christianity and its firm grip in India and especially in Goa, India and Goa developed a lot. It is the influence of Christian culture, tradition and doctrine that made India so much civilized and peace loving country. Mother Theresa once said “ Poverty and sufferings from India will disappear once Indians embrace Christ’s teachings”.

However, everything is not well in India and the recent rise of BJP is creating turmoil in India for non-Hindus. BJP is supporting communal principles. In Goa under Parrikar lot of communalism took place. BJP wants to treat Christians as second class citizens and to humiliate Christians further Parrikar Government prepared and released a especial VCD vomiting hatred against Goan Chistians. So much so even the important Christian holiday was abolished and in one word Christians in Goa were targeted for attack. Because of the rise of BJP in Goa the security and well-being of Chistians are in jeopardy. While all the attacks and humiliations were directed against Christians, our Christian MLS’s namely Mathanay Saldana, Babush Monsurate and others were supporting Parrikar’s BJP Government. Parrikar was punishing Christians with the help of Christian MLA’s and Ministers who like traitors were blindly giving their allegiance to anti-Christian BJP Government of Parrikar.

Now it is the turn of Christians and secular minded voters from the constituencies of traitor MLA’s to come out openly against those Judases who betrayed Christians and Christinity. Voters from these constituencies must openly question the roles of these anti-Christian, Christian MLA’s of supporting Parrikar Ministry. This is the only opportunity the Christian and secular voters will get to demolish all the Christian traitors who supported BJP.

The Church leaders in Goa must also start its campaign against injustice to Christians. At this critical juncture Goa Church which is supposed to be a father figure and guide for Chrstians must come out openly against BJP and all Christians MLA’s and Montris who supported Parrikar’s government. Because of our being Christians we in Goa are made to suffer. This point our Church leaders must take into consideration. In the past our Church remained weak against the onslaught on us by our enemies. Now it should not be. We as Christians in Goa are targeted for liquidation by the BJP. Earlier MGP tried to humiliate and liquidate us but due to our stiff opposition to them then we managed to half liquidate MGP from the political scene in Goa and we succeeded in our mission. But now BJP is taking over from where MGP left and it is again our turn with greater ferocity to show BJP that we will not take things lying down. At this stage we cannot act like “Baizonam” as some of the Goan Tiatrists are acting in support of communal BJP. We cannot sing hosannas in praise of BJP like some selfish Tiatrists are doing for the sake of bribes. These tiatrists are not only selling their bodies to BJP but also selling their souls to BJP by succumbing to the wishes of anti-Christian BJP. People must punish these tiatrists, their leaders and the contractors of their tiatros. The Church leaders especially Fr. Melwyn who is very regular in attending tiatros in Kuwait must raise his voice against anti-Christian campaign carried by some tiatrists by eulogizing communal and anti-Christian BJP. In fact BJP means anti-Christians and those who support anti-Christians are the enemies of Christians, they are devils having no respect even for their Christian fathers and their original Christian wives and as such Christians in general should oppose the Tiatrists and politicians who are the promoters of BJP.

Kuwait Goans have created history by supporting the causes of Goa, Konkani and Christians. In tune with this tradition I am sure Kuwait Goans will act appropriately against those who are supporting anti-Christian elements. If we are real Christians then we will give non-cooperation to the enemies of Christians. This will be the true test of our Christian faith. At this juncture and in this case we cannot forgive our enemies. If we do so, our enemies will become stronger and thru this strength he will totally demolish and liquidate us. Let us not strengthen the hands of our enemies. It is time for us to finish our enemies otherwise our enemies will finish us. Which is good? Option is yours and mine.

Re: TIATRISTS AND POLITICS

A. Veronica,

I just read your article on Tiatrist and politics, and the hard hitting comments you made vis-a-vis the audio cassette 'Umedichem Kommoll'. I am yet to listen to the audio.

I am rather surprised that Anil-Fatima, Peter-Roshan could go to such extent. Very sad indeed. Perhaps they have sarificed their principles for the lure of a few Gandhi notes!
