I hope some mathadhipati' s and Hindu sadhu-s and sanyasi-s are in contact with the members of this sangham in this hour of their acute distress and torment. It is the responsibility of those promoting sanatana dharma to go to their help and help their paraavartan back to the path of dharma. Let not the christists have a free ride in their discriminatory practices, clearly a violation of basic human rights.

VILLUPURAM: Over 12 lakh Vanniya Christians in Tamil Nadu will revert to Hinduism if they do not get a fair deal from the church.
The church, that has not taken any worthwhile measures to abolish caste discrimination, should not put the blame on the Vanniya Christians for creating divisions within the flock, C. Arokkiadas, founder of the Vanniya Christhava Sangham, told Hindu. The
The Christians were verily divided on caste lines and it became accentuated during the recent Eraiyur incident. Mr. Arokkiadas said while the caste Vanniyas, classified as Most Backward Class, had the backing of political leaders, the Vanniya Christians, categorised as Backward Classes, did not have the support of the church and had to fend for themselves.
