In Bihar, girls from Hindu families are lured into the love trap of Christians and then forced to marry them. These girls are later forced to convert to Christianity. There have been many instances of this type of Christian love jihad in the state.
Sunita is one such victim of this Christian love jihad. She is the youngest of two brothers and a sister. By the time Sunita reached the age of 17, her neighbor John trapped her in his love trap in a way from which she could never recover. She was brainwashed to such an extent that she left her home and John’s family. converted to Christianity 30 days later.
A young Hindu girl named Maya has the same story of Christian love jihad. A Christian boy lured her into the trap of love and married her. Then he converted her to Christianity. He left her after having two children.
Areas with low literacy rates are the target of Christian Love Jihad
Hundreds of girls from Seemanchal region of Bihar have become victims of this new love jihad of Christians. This was revealed in a series of Dainik Bhaskar. It is also worth noting here that between 1999 and 2005, the number of churches in the Seemanchal region of Bihar increased. Mainly, villages were chosen to build churches, with the exception of towns.
There is also a strong conspiracy behind this Christian love jihad; because districts like Araria, Katihar, Kishanganj, Purnia, Bhagalpur, Madhepura and Begusarai are lagging behind in terms of literacy rate. Obviously, it’s easy to brainwash people there. This work is managed from Chennai.
In different areas of Bihar, people engaged in schools and health centers are gradually encouraging people to convert to Christianity. As the number of Christians increased in this area, the church was also built in this area.
60 percent of Christians in Madhepura
Madhepura is a district where the Christian population reaches 40 to 60 percent in many villages. Tinkonwa village of Murliganj block in this district is an example. This village of 1,400 households, located 260 kilometers from Patna, is far behind in terms of education.
The population here is 60,000, but the number of churches is quite surprising. There is a missionary-run school for grades up to 8th grade. They also run a hospital. R Hambram and his wife Lalita preach Christianity here.
According to Lalita, many boys here fell in love with Hindu girls and these girls became Christians for marriage. She also said that she too was a Hindu and loved Christian R Hambram, converted to his religion and married him. Lalita also revealed that through prayer meetings and music, they preach to people to convert to Christianity.
Sarita is one such woman from Jharkhand. She and her husband encouraged the people of Saharsa to embrace Christianity. She now does the same work in Madhepura. Sarita admitted that cases of “religious conversion after love marriage” are on the rise.
On the 32nd day after her church wedding, a Hindu girl converts to Christianity. Previously, from 6 months to a year, the girl systematically learns the details of Christianity and various rituals associated with the religion. A survey revealed that in just two years, 30 to 50 homes had converted to Christianity.
Influential families in the region also converted to Christianity
Manoj’s family in the village became Christians. Manoj has now become Manoj Hambram. Manoj has two sons. Both lured Hindu girls into love traps, then converted them to Christianity before marrying.
Today, the families of these girls have also converted to Christianity. There is a similar story of Roshan Hambram of the village church. According to him, if a Hindu girl loves a Christian boy, then she should convert to Christianity before getting married. Otherwise, they won’t be able to get married.
He believes that most girls who convert to Christianity are Hindus. However, he also says that Hindu girls are influenced by the ideas of Christianity. This is so because they are taught the lesson of Christianity from their childhood.
In Tikonwa village of Purnia, Thakur Soren was land lured and later converted to Christianity. His daughter also became a victim of this love jihad. In her case, the Christian boy left her after marriage.
Every Sunday, 150 Christians gather at the village church in Tikonwa, all converts from Hinduism to Christianity. Among these converts is Chintu’s family, who embraced Christianity in 2015, leaving their Hindu faith behind. After the 32nd day of Chintu, they no longer mention the names of Hindu gods and goddesses nor do they go to temples to eat prasad. Jesus is said to be happy when a Hindu converts to Christianity.
Vivek Kumar of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad said cases of Hindu girls becoming Christians have increased here. However, he said 2,500 people returned to their original faith in 3 years.
Jawahar Jha, senior vice-president of the International Hindu Parishad Bihar, said the conversion of Hindus to Christianity is like a silent killer for the country as they do not make headlines. They specifically target economically backward Hindu families.
