No reservation for converted dalit christians
by Naresh on Feb 11, 2005 07:47 PM

It should not be given. Once they become Christians then they are part of the local church and community and would get financial assistance also in addition to other facilities like admissions to convent schools run by christian missionaries.In most of the cases they get a lot of financial assistance from foreign funds.

It will open a pandora's box. We should make many changes to constitution as envisaged by its founding fathers. How much ever we talk of equality we should remember that once conversion takes place these people no longer can relate to Indian culture and would be following a foreign culture with pope as its head.

I am from AP and frankly most of the converted christians just have "hindu" as their religion with names like "yesu, yesuratnam, yesudas, johnson etc etc" otherwise they would be treated as BC's rather than SC's.

I pray that in the name of secularism India should not become a irreligious state. Remember for all the praise in English press for Bobby Jindal, would he have become an MP if he was not a christian (but for votes of Indian community he still says his parents are hindus). Hindus are easy fodder for everyone and it is high time we stop that
