"FOR ME COMING BACK TO SANATAN FOLD FROM ISLAM IS AN ACT OF REPENTANCE" - O Sruthi

Many people are reverting to Sanatan fold. With this in view, T Satisan, Organiser Correspondent, Kerala, spoke to O Sruthi, author of the book titled 'Story of a Reversion'. Here, she narrates her story from converting to Islam to reverting to Dharma. She gives an insight into the conversion of Maunathul Islam Sabha, She was brainwashed into believing anti-national and anti-Hindu ideas. She was taught that Bharat is a Hindu Nation as it is the place of kafirs. All their teachings helped increased her liking towards Islam and hatred towards Hinduism and Bharat.

■ Where did you go after leaving your home and parents? Why?

Nine years back, I was profusely influenced by antinational Islamic ideology. I had completed my graduation in a Muslim management college and majority of my batch mates in English Literature were Muslim girls. Their targeted ideological questioning and degrading Hinduism finally created some sort of inferiority complex in me and it gradually pushed me to the thought of leaving Swadharma and study Islam. Thus with the support of my classmates and later of my colleagues I studied Islam for five years. I accepted and practised Islam strictly for one year. I offered Namaz, took Roza. My appearance and way of behaviour and everything changed. I turned a real Muslim woman. In order to be a true Muslim of Iman, there are some regulations to be followed. If Allah has to accept my Namaz and prayers and I had to observe rituals religiously, I would have to convert myself legally to Islam, and compulsorily wear the burqa and hijab. I enquired about conversion centers through the Internet and friends. I found that there were only two legal conversion centres in Kerala; Therbiyathul Islam Sabha in Kozhikode and Maunathul Islam Sabha in Ponnani. As I followed Sunni way of Islam, I chose Maunathul Islam Sabha in Ponnani for converting myself to Islam legally.
