Fast-forward a couple of centuries.

Muslims (Ottoman (Usman / Uttaman in Thamizh meaning pure-bred or firstlings – in relation to the Islamic Prophet)) Turks, Mohammed Ghori, and Mohammed Ghazni and the like invaded the country multiple times, plundered its wealth and carried them away to Persia. Remember the Kohinoor diamond and the peacock throne that Nadir Shah carried away? Later came Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, and Aurangzeb, Mughals from Persia, and built their country-wide Islamic empire that spanned the length and breadth of the country. The huge Muslim population of India today is the result of this Islamic rule, the rulers converting the local population forcibly (as did the Islamic Prophet originally – by the edge of the sword) by imposing the Jizya tax on the non-Muslim majority. Many poor and downtrodden converted to Islam to escape the oppression by these rulers – murderers (of brothers, sisters, and even fathers among others), drunkards, polygamists, and outright looters of the Indian peasants and the common public.

Shivaji, the Maratha emperor rebelled against Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor. He revived the Ganesh Chaturthi festival (of Thamizh Aaseevaham origin) to bring unity among the divided locals and to instill Indianism and patriotism – not for purely religious reasons). This gained popularity slowly among neighboring regions but was, as usual, hijacked by the Jewish Aryans as a country-wide Hindu religious festival for selfish reasons.

During the reign of the Mughal emperors in India, the Portuguese traders landed at Goa, Cochin, and the Malabar coast, bringing in their religion Roman Catholicism and idol worship of Jesus, Mary, and other saints which paved the way for many Roman Catholic churches being built in the name of Christianity. (Roman Catholic religion is not Christian). Even Velankannai and Mylapore on the Coromandel coast were victims of these Portuguese traders. These were significantly different from the Christian churches – structurally and scripturally – that were originally built by the local Christians who had become believers from the time of St Thomas.

Kapaleeswarar temple was originally located in the place where the current St Thomas Basilica is today – Mylapore. It was built by Indian Christians in an early period as a memorial to Christ who died on Calvary which was also called the mound of the skull (Kapaalam is skull and Easan is one who came down as man – (recollect manisan) in Thamizh). The temple was moved further inland long afterward and converted as a temple for Easwaran, the Thamizh god of old, by the Jewish Aryans.

The Roman Catholic churches were built on the models of the ones elsewhere in Europe. Vasco da Gama, a simple sailor, mentioned in his travelogues that he visited temples on the Malabar coast while actually, they were Christian churches built in the Indian style. There exist in Kerala even today a few of these in their original shape, that stand witness to this fact.

European traders started colonizing the country from Portugal, Holland, and France until Sir Thomas Roe officially visited the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zaffar as the representative of the British Queen. Imperialist nations started occupying territory and Britain gained the upper hand. India became a British colony with the other Europeans letting go of their control eventually – some of them after a long time.

The European travelers were followed by European Missionaries whose primary intention was to spread the gospel but in the European way. There was a serious cultural clash and they were and are accused of westernizing the country through their language, education system, printing technology, their fashion, and their lifestyle. This resulted in the murder of the already existing Christian church in India, and the original Indian Christian community slowly receding and losing its identity completely.

European Christianity – predominantly Roman Catholic – started taking root against the sentiments of the local Indian public who considered these missionaries as religious conversionists that have invaded their land to put an end to the local religions.

A mixed community of Anglo-Indians started taking shape when European traders started marrying Indian women. Their numbers rapidly increased when Europeans started settling down and the European women also started mingling with Indian men. Many of them left the country when India became independent leaving behind their children who are surviving to this day as the Anglo-Indian community with a few special privileges like a direct representation in the state legislature and the Parliament. Anglo-Indians with British roots are Protestants and others are still staunch Roman Catholics. Thank God, there are the chosen in this community too.

Even today, most of the Indians think that Roman Catholics are the Christians of India, but their attacks are targeted towards the entire Christian community with most of the sufferers being genuine believers who are doing the missionary work with real love in their hearts.

During the late eighteenth-century AD, the British rulers wanted to launch a judicial system for the locals. The local Jewish Aryans handed them the Manu Dharma which put the Britishers in a rosier light (Britishers were a white-skinned Aryan race – high class according to Manu Dharma while dark-skinned Indians were the working low class – exactly what the Britishers were looking for that would enable them to subdue the Indians). In the year 1794 AD, the Sanskrit Manusmriti (Manava Dharm sastra) was translated into English by Sir William Jones (who was the puisne Judge of the Bengal Supreme Court and a philologist) and was published as the Hindu Law by the British colonial government. This brought all Indians under the term Hinduism and thus came into being Hinduism as a religion officially. The term Hinduism was unheard of before this series of events. Indians were people who had lived on the banks of the Sindu (Hindu according to the Persian pronunciation) river and who were driven to the east and south by the invading Jewish Aryans from Persia (Iran) in the 6th Century BC. The Medo-Persian King Ahasuerus had 127 provinces under his kingship in the 5th century BC and India was one of them even then.

Thamizhar and Hinduism are two exclusive terms – there is nothing common between these. Thamizhar are the original people of the land who populated the entire landmass under various names that resulted because of hybrid dialects and cultures that emerged in due course; Hinduism is a lifestyle (not a religion as per the Supreme Court of India) that was carried in by the Jewish Aryans to India. The two terms can’t be interchangeably used. Thamizhar, beware! (“Induth Thamizhargale!” is an oxymoron!)

Some notable activists like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Panditha Ramabai emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries that strived hard to put an end to many social evils like polygamy, devadasi system, caste system, Sati, and child marriage – practices instituted by the Jewish Aryans! – that were rapidly decaying Indian society.

The Brahma Samaaj and the Arya Samaaj came into being which were the side-shoot of the Jewish-Aryan religion. They started opposing the heavy-handedness of the British rulers. (There were a few among them that were interested in the social welfare of the countrymen who genuinely worked with a few British authorities and brought in legislation to devise an end to many social evils listed in the previous para that were plaguing the society).

Missionaries came in to spread Roman Catholicism in India during the British period. However, a few Christians also came in with a genuine burden to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hindi became a bridging language between a lot of the north Indian languages by the 19th Century AD (as did Sanskrit for a lot of foreign languages in the 1st century AD). While the gospel of Jesus was preached freely during British rule (and even nearly fifty years after the independence of the country), fanaticism and falsehood crept in slowly in the form of religious fundamentalism and have now thrown Indian society into a battlefield of religions.
The contribution of European missionaries to the Indian languages is huge to ignore. The grammar of many North Indian languages was compiled as books by missionaries. For example, the Hindi grammar book was compiled in the year 1820 AD by a Christian missionary. Printing in Indian languages began with the printing of the Thamizh Bible at Tharangambadi (Tranquebar) in Tamil Nadu by Ziegan Balg of Holland. It was a great boon for the fairly illiterate majority; illiteracy resulted because Thamizh was suppressed as an abominable language by the Jewish Aryans. (The original printing press is exhibited in a museum here). Indian literary classics were translated, and dictionaries were compiled by missionaries. Books, magazines, and newspapers in vernacular languages started appearing everywhere.

After all, the population of genuine believers in India is negligible compared to the rest of the non-Christian population. Religious conversion is not the objective of the honest believer; spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ is. Only the Chosen Ones receive the message of the Bible and such are only a small number. The threat of mass religious conversion perceived by the political and religious leaders of the country today is unfounded.

Indians lured by the money offered by the so-called “Christians” are not genuine converts. And those who lead such people to a religious conversion are not genuine Christians. Such converts would be ready to return to their original religion once the material benefit is appropriated. Re-conversion or “Ghar Vapsi” or religious homecoming would work here. People who yield to Jesus and accept His Way genuinely have a change of heart, not a change of religion or name; no amount of threat or intimidation would get them back to their older sinful way of life. In fact, people choose to sacrifice even their families, riches, entitlements, and family legacies to become believers.

Why are believers so passionate about spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Here are at least ten honest reasons.

One, it is the only good news for wretched mankind that is overwhelmed by bad news everywhere.

Two, it is this gospel of deliverance that can set free mankind from the wrath of God (and the resulting eternal punishment of hell) which is still on our heads because of sin and corruption.

Three, a person of any faith who receives this universal gospel of salvation can experience forgiveness of sin and removal of its guilt.

Four, it is this gospel of freedom that can break the chains of evil habits and obnoxious addiction.

Five, it is this gospel of healing that can bind up the broken-hearted and cure souls in despair.

Six, it is this gospel of restoration that can give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

Seven, global peace begins from the individual and it is this gospel of peace that brings peace between man and God and then between man and man.

Eight, it is a clear mandate that has been given to every believer in the Lord Jesus by the Lord Himself to preach to every creation this gospel of hope of life-filled eternity and bliss.

Nine, the love of Christ in the believers constrains them to spread this gospel of love among their fellowmen even amidst persecution and threat of death.

Ten, a genuine believer just can’t hold this gospel of joy to himself. Yaan petra inbam peruga iv vaiyagam. யான் பெற்ற இன்பம் பெறுக இவ்வையகம். May the world taste the joy that I have tasted myself!

The disciples of Christ have been engaged in this “ministry” ever since the resurrection of Jesus Christ and will continue it until His return for His people.
