This comes mere days after Hindutva groups disrupted a Christmas day event in Rohtak. VHP & Bajrang Dal allege 'forced conversion' activities. Police register complaints in both cases.
Organisers say police were working ‘hand in glove’ with the protesting members of VHP & Bajrang Dal. Former WWE wrestler Khali had been invited as the chief guest at the event.
Pinky Chaudhary, head of HRD Hindu Raksha Dal, was seen attacking Muslim slum dwellers in Ghaziabad, falsely claiming that they were ‘Bangladeshis’, in a viral video.
A bad turn in Venezuela would raise the same questions that have dogged the unlawful US strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean: Why now, and why at all?
The concern is not that 2025’s rally was irrational, but that it may be difficult to repeat. Outlooks remain anchored to AI investment and growth without reigniting inflation.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
This is very surprising and disturbing at the same time.
How come there are so many Christians in Haryana? Or Punjab for that matter?
Since when have these churches and allied Christian organizations been active in Haryana? Nobody ever saw Christians in Haryana. The only minorities in Haryana were the Muslims (primarily in Nuh) and the Sikhs. How come these organizations have been able to successfully convert thousands of Haryanvis?
Was the Union and state governments sleeping all this time?
Good news indeed. Finally, Hindu organisations are waking up to the grave danger posed by Christian missionary activity in Punjab and Haryana.
Of late, Christian missionaries have become highly active in these two states and have successfully converted thousands of Sikhs and Hindus. It’s time Sikh institutions such as the SGPC and Akalis join hands with Hindu organisations like the Bajrang Dal and VHP and counter Christian missionary activity.
Otherwise, Punjab and Haryana will end up being Christian majority states.
One only has to look at the north-eastern states to understand what happens when a state becomes Christian majority.
For example, in Nagaland, the state govt never tables bills/laws in the legislature without the prior consent and approval from the various Naga churches. The same applies to Meghalaya and Mizoram as well. In fact, in these states Hindus are harrassed/intimidated routinely and temples/gurudwaras desecrated and destroyed on the state government orders.
The Indian government must realise the threat to national security posed by such widespread Christian conversions in a sensitive border state like Punjab. Even Haryana is a matter of concern.
The Sikh religious authorities like the Panch Pyare, the SGPC and the political parties espousing the cause of Sikhs like the Akali Dal must wake up before it’s too late. The various Deras active in Punjab/Haryana with their babas too must close ranks to ensure that Punjab/Haryana does not end up with a sizeable Christian minority.
In communally sensitive states like Punjab and Haryana with a very painful history, this might light a fire impossible to extinguish.

Where did Christians in Haryana come from?? Why don’t they focus on getting Europeans to their churches, where most of the churches are empty
