Shocking disclosure by “BAHA’I NEWS INDIA”

The recent monthly circulation of Indian Baha'is, The BAHA’I NEWS
INDIA, ISSUE VII JULY 2010 has revealed shocking facts, through an
article titled “Preparations of Government of India Census 2011”,
These are summmarised as under :

1.      There have been rigorous conversion activities over the past fifty
years by the Baha’i Faith.

2.      These conversions was accelerated with the construction of the
Lotus Temple at Delhi and with the visits of Hands of the Cause Dr.
Rahmatulláh Muhájir, and Amatu'l- Bahá Ruhiyyih Khánum.

3.      Though the Baha’i records of the data on Baha’i population shows
that one time it had crossed two millions yet the Census of India
reports of 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2001 show only a fraction of the total
number Baha'is throughout the country. This means that the census
department of India fumbled four times to give accurate number of
Baha'is. Just to cite an example, Baha’i census figures in 1991 was
5575 and in 2001 it was 11,324 against 2.2 millions claimed by the
Baha’i administration.

4.      Through the article we understand this is largely due to illiteracy
and lack of distinct identifying characteristics of rural Indians.
Does it not mean that conversions were done deceptively without an
individual ever knowing that he has accepted the Baha’i Faith? Does it
also not indicate that the Baha'is have been targeting rural Indians
(mostly in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh) for the past so many
years?

5.      The article suggests that Baha’i Faith members display Baha’i Faith
identification stickers in their houses so that the official GOI
census official can enter the religious identity accurately. This is a
very big accusation against both the individual being interviewed and
the GOI census official! Are both these so gullible that one will
forget to declare his allegiance to the Baha’i Faith and the other
will record it based on stickers/posters on the wall! Is it not some
sort of racist discrimination practiced by the Baha’i Faith governing
body, many of them being of Iranian origin. Should we tolerate such an
assessment of our fellow countrymen!

6.      The article suggests that the Baha’i Faith machinery will attempt
to contact government officials from highest level down to Panchayat
level. Is this not some sort of influencing the government officials
in performance of their duty? Should not serious action be taken
against the Baha’i Faith for this?

7.      Lastly, the article silently threatens the readers that giving
wrong information to the census department is punishable!. Do we need
to learn this from scoundrels who have always used deception to
inflate numbers, perform conversion activities and get government
concessions? In fact the action should be taken against the Baha’i
administration for misguiding the world since last so many years.

AT THE END, CAN BAHA’I ADMINISTRATION EXPLAIN WHY THE NUMBER OF LOCAL
SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLIES MENTIONED IN BAHA’I WORLD [VOLUME XVIII
(1979-1983)] IN INDIA WERE MORE THAN 10,000 WHILE THE PRESENT NUMBER
OF ASSEMBELIES IS ONLY 600 - WHICH IS JUST 6%. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THIS GROSS EXAGGERATION - THE CENSUS DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
OR THE BAHA’I ADMINISTRATION THEMSELVES ?

Dear readers, I have worked for Baha'is for many years. Never even in
their exaggerated record the Baha’i population reached even the figure
of 20,000. Everybody at the top is absolutely convinced that there is
gross exaggeration in the Baha’i population in India and elsewhere in
the world, but nobody wants to accept publicly because of fear of
sanctions from the Universal House of Justice. Moreover the Baha'is
claim that 40% of world Baha’is resides in India, which is just 11324.
Is it not easy now to assess World Baha’i Population? Let someone also
open the can of worms on authentic world Baha’i population!
