Manipur for Christ!

AFTER Nagaland and Mizoram, now it is Manipur which is all planned to be offered at the feet of Jesus Christ and whole of its population should be brought under chruch influence! Let it be politics, the thoughts and the social psyche, everything be controlled by church and its policies!

Most of the Vanvasis of Manipur are already converted to Christianity. Now it is the turn of all the rest, may they have an ancient culture of Vaishnavite cult or whatever, they are being converted unabated.

Now it becomes a fashion for many of the communities to say “we are not Hindus”. They don’t even put a pressure at their thought line, what actually ‘Hindu’ means! Nobody actually brothers of it. When a child joins his school and come to the lessons of history, he/she is taught that after the name of the river ‘Sindhu’ in the west of our country, the people of the west named this land ‘Sindhusthan’ or ‘Hindusthan’ as they pronounce ‘Sa’ as ‘Ha’, same as the people of Assam. And, this became the name to this great country ‘Bharat’ and its peoples as ‘Hindu’. Even the Indian Muslims who visit Arab countries for Haj are called as ‘Hindu Muslims’ there. It is only a terminology given to the people of India which have nothing to do with religion.

Religion have a very narrow sense which is a set of beliefs and a particular way of worship; while in India “Sanatan Dharma” regulates each and every aspect of human life which is least concerned for ‘Religion’-the way of worshiping Gods and Goddess and upto the supreme Power. Ours’ is mistaken as ‘Hindu Religion’ by the historians; and the other religionists to differ their own from the native religious followings.

Manipur is slowly coming under the grip of church. Its programme ‘Ecoho Night’ was convened by Sumpa Hamangte and Namethaai Thimai on October 6-8, 2009 at the Seminar Hall of MBC Centre, church of Imphal. Many of the church leaders and Pastors were invited to deliver lectures there. Most interesting is its colourful poster which was published with a Cross at the centre with ‘Manipur is for Christ’ as its main slogan. What does it mean? Is it to influence the social psyche of people in Manipur? They erect cross and statues of Jesus on the road side, construct church at prime location of cities to feel people their presence.

Should the people of this country allow the states, one after another to be offered at the feet of Christ or should they follow the path of Eternal Religion or ‘Sanatan Dharma’ which is the core of the society of this country!
