India was once famous all over the world and known as"Golden Bird". But this popularity invited trouble. Vasco-da-Gama discovered India and the foreigners startedlooking at us with envy. From the year 1600, the East India Company started establishing a foothold in the country in the name of trade, when it realised that India is socially, economically, politically weak and full of mutual differences.
INJECTING SLOW POISON
After trade, from the year 1757, East India Company imposed rules which remained in force till 1858. Ironically, British rule remained in force from 1858 to 1947. In these years, Bharatiya freedom fighters kept on fighting for Independence of the country. But a slow poison injected by foreign forces started spreading across India. However, the people of India could not recognise it till date and remained deprived of its painful consequences. The name of that poison is conversion. The Conversion Mafias are active even today by taking advantage of superiority feeling, theism and mutual differences within society. This matter is no less than a National Emergency. According to reports, almost 8 lakh people are converted to other faiths.
