By Dinesh Kamath

GOA: All India Hindu Convention is in progress at Ramnathi, Goa, at Vidyadhiraj Hall.

On the second day of the All India Hindu Convention, prominent Hindus expressed their views in a session on ‘Condition of foreign Hindus and remedies thereon’. Swami Kumaranand was speaking on this occasion. All the Hindus demanded that the Hindus from Bharat should become active for the foreign Hindus.

“Hindus in Bangladesh on the verge of extinction,” said Mr. Ravindra Ghosh of Bangladesh. The account of atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh was presented by Mr. Ravindra Ghosh of ‘Bangladesh Minority Watch’ through slide-show and video-audio cassette. According to him, the Hindu population of 28% at the time of Partition is now 8.5%. He expressed anguish that despite taking the issue with the UNO, no one takes cognizance of this. He feared that in future the Hindus in Bangladesh will be wiped out.

“Bangladesh Hindus need a Homeland,” said Upanand Brahmachari, editor of website ‘Hindu Existence’ while giving the review of the mission of ‘Nikhil Bangiya Nagarik Sangh’. He demanded that the Hindus be declared displaced and given rights as per international law.”

“Nepal was, is and will remain a Hindu Nation only,” said Jagadbahadur Thapa of Nepal. “Nepal, where the Hindus are 81% has been declared a secular nation by the 62% communists in the interim Constitution. To oppose this, the Hindu Rashtra Nepal Vedic Samyawadi Sanghatana will stage ‘Nepal Bandh’ agitation from 26th to 28th June. If the Government fails to take cognizance of this, we will stage agitation. The Hindus in Bharat should help us,” said Mr. Jagadbahadur Thapa of ‘Hindu Rashtra Nepal Vedic Samyawadi Sanghatana’. The office bearers of this organisation go on world tour to provide information about Hindus in Nepal for declaring Nepal as Hindu Nation. He said, “In Goa too we have not come for tourism purpose, but to work for the cause of the Nation and Dharma.”

“Tamils in Srilanka are Hindus only,” said Mr. Arjun Sampath. Narrating the problems of Tamil Hindus in Srilanka, Mr. Arjun Sampath, Founder of ‘Hindu Makkal Katchhi’ in Tamilnadu said, “The Tamils in Srilanka are not only Tamils, they are first Hindus. However, the media mention them as Tamils and create misunderstanding. Srilanka is not only anti-Tamil Hindus, but Bharat’s enemy also. Srilanka has been consistently helping Pakistan. Now China is rendering economic and military help to Srilanka. Bharat also provides military help to Srilanka. The Hindus should now help the Tamil Hindus in Srilanka.”

The New Delhi Police Superintendent Mr. Nahar Singh furnished information on the pitiable condition of Hindus in Pakistan. Mr. Ashwinikumar Chrungu of Panun Kashmir Sanghatana expressed his thoughts about the problems of Hindus in Kashmir. He demanded that we should tell Pakistan in strongest words that if it does not stop terrorism in Kashmir and atrocities on Hindus in Pakistan, there can be no discussion or friendship with Pakistan.

The Convention was attended by 200 invitees.
