Nine people and their families belonging to the Christian community converted to Hinduism in the presence of Hindu groups like Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Karnataka's
Badravathi on Monday, 27 December. The Hindu outfits had organised a 'cultural _ghar wapsi' _(homecoming) event for them. > Leaders of pro-Hindu organisations including
Mahadeva, Kulkarni, > Krishnamurthy, Chandrappa, Subramani, Suresh Babu, Bajrang Dal's > Raghavan Vadivelu, Dinesh, Ravikumar, Vasanthakumar, Bettegowda, and > Srirama
Sena's Umesh Gowda were also present at the event. An individual identified as one Jayaseen, who had converted to Christianity, re-coverted to Hinduism, as Hindu religious leaders
congratulated the family members. Meanwhile, a Hindu priest could be heard chanting 'Jai Shree Ram' while the family stood beside him. The video of the event captured a crowded
hall where Hindu seers sat cross-legged performing a _Pooja_ in front of the room, while people sat across them. The development comes in light of the row over the contentious
anti-conversion bill that was passed by the BJP-ruled government in the Karnataka Assembly last week. A slew of attacks on churches and the Christian community have been documented in the
state prior to the tabling of the anti-conversion bill. Published: 27 Dec 2021, 8:07 PM IST
