How a conversion racket entered a Bihar village in the guise of coaching center - a shocking field investigation by @RashtraJyoti
1. One Sushma Kumari rented a house in Musahar (SC) colony of Kannauji village near Patna. She used most of the open space to make a hall with a shed and dias.
This is how it looked
She told everyone it was a coaching centre for poor kids

Children began attending it. What happened in name of education is this:
-They were taught to say Amen, and thrashed for saying Jai Vishwakarma or Jai Shri Ram
-They were asked to tell their mothers not to wear bangles or sindoor
-They were taught that deities like Hanuman and Ram are false Gods and imaginary while Yesu was their true God
-Sushma and three other “teachers” would do theatrics to show love for yeshu

The centre operated for about a year. Then one resident took initiative
Deepak mobilised protest against the illegal conversion activities, called the police and filed a complaint
Police booked Sushma and three others for “outraging religious feelings” (sections 299 and 302 of BNS)
Bihar does not have anti-forced conversion law yet

Seizure memo prepared by police shows they recovered Bible, a manual for evangelists, book on “chosen people” etc
It’s pure evil how they targeted these poor people in name of giving free education to kids
But thanks to action by a few residents, the evil racket has been driven away from the village
This is what we have to enable - grassroots leadership and awareness
@RashtraJyoti Yajna is precisely this. We have held Rashtra Jyoti Samvidhan Rakshak awards in various parts of Bihar to raise awareness against such fraud, and honoured villagers who took lead. One of the villagers we honoured is 65-year-old Ramnath Manjhi who didn’t let fraud evangelists build a hall outside his house and even went to jail for i
We have also held Swagat Yajnas for those who were culturally uprooted through such propaganda
No village or town or mohalla must let such fraud thrive. Please follow and support @RashtraJyoti
