Persecuted for faith is part of Xhristian calling. Slapped on a cheek, show the other cheek too. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. That is the teaching. That is what made it grow 2000 years ago and through the middle ages.
Whatever this fellow said / prophesized has a plus point, polarising electorate on religious lines, like muslim clergy who have a more significant following. This may prompt Hindu voters to prefer BJP cast, leaving INC in the lurch.Better for INC to leave this line, as INC is perceived as a Minorities'party.
Now its turn of Such arch bishops to get angry as the people will be more vigilante.Ms do it openly but Cs do it underground....greater threat to Hndus...

This padris is crying because Modiji stopped all the illegal money these guys were receiving from abroad. What can you expect from meat eating wine drinking guys.The Kerala lady has exposed these crooks
Be careful, these are political messages for helping Western nations put pressure on the Indian Government and vitiate the public opinion. In fact, these people are stooges in the hands of foreigners if not their moles.

BRITISH RULE WAS THE GOLDEN ERA IN THE INDIAN HISTORY!
1. British, ending barbaric dominating rule of Mozlems (who killed 600 mil & raped 600 mil HHIndus over 1200 yrs), liberated HHindus from 1200-yr subjugation, gave HHindus religious freedom and prevented India from becoming BarbaricIslamicRepublicOfIndia (BARISRI). 2. British united 550 princely states fighting internecine wars, into a single entity. British ended the menace 1000s of murderous robbers (thugs) in north India. 3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, gave equitable Justice system, modern education system opening universities, etc which rapidly improved the living & intellectual standards of common people. British modern medical services reduced death rate and increased life-span. 4. English language helped India to become a global tech & educational power, in spite of some shortcomings. 5. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system, superstitions, ignorance, etc strongly rooted in Indian psyche, though remnants remain. 6. No doubt Hinduism is the most secular, literature-rich religion, but Indians live in constant delusion—believing ancient Indian literature has all sci & tech; in 2000 BC, 90% were literate & rich; Indian economy 27% of world economy in 1700, etc. These are all lies invented by scoundrels to fool Indians. Before the British, Indians were living in poorer & pathetic conditions. INDIANS SHOULD CULTIVATE PRACTICAL OUTLOOK

There u go, the missionary at his mission to glorify an era of barbarism. From 1857- 1870 : 10 million deaths to spread terror among Indians. created by so called artificial Famines
World War 1 : over 74,187 soldiers martyred
World War 2 : over 87,000 martyred
Not to talk about millions of Indians who lost their life in popular freedom struggle movements like in Swadeshi Movement, Non Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement, Quit India Movement, Jallianwala bagh massacre etc. Britishers attacked the basic culture of Indians, destroying it completely. They were no better than the mughals.

No doubt they came here to make profit and take home money. But they also created lot of wealth which made the country grow. Conditions, before the British came were in fact more horrible.
You talk about famines, which have been a common things in India since the beginning of history. The only difference is under the British rule, they were better recorded.

the monthly salary of the Secretary of State for India in 1901, paid for by Indian taxes, was equivalent to the average annual income of 90,000 Indians.
India’s first economic critique of British imperialism, Dadabhai Naoroji in his book, Poverty and Un-British Rule in India stated that - The annual drain of £3,000,000 on British India has amounted in thirty years, at compound interest, to the enormous sum of £723,900,000. Naoroji argued that India had exported an average of £13,000,000 worth of goods to Britain each year from 1835 to 1872 with no corresponding return of money; in fact, payments to people residing in Britain, whether profits to Company shareholders, dividends to railway investors or pensions to retired officials, made up a loss of £30 million a year.
In 1757, Robert Clive after winning Battle of Plassey transfered the princely sum of £2.5 million (£250 million pounds in today’s money) to the Company’s coffers in England as the spoils of conquest. On his first return to England Clive took home £234,000 from his Indian exploits (£23 million pounds in today’s money, making him one of the richest men in Europe). Clive returned two years later to England with a fortune estimated at £400,000 (£40 million today). After accepting millions of rupees in ‘presents’, levying an annual tribute, helping himself to any jewels that caught his fancy from the treasuries of those h

Taxation (and theft labelled as taxation) became a favorite British form of exaction. The British extracted from India approximately £18,000,000 each year between 1765 and 1815. Taxation by the Company—usually at a minimum of 50 per cent of income—was so onerous that two-thirds of the population ruled by the British in the late eighteenth century fled their lands. Durant writes that ‘[tax] defaulters were confined in cages, and exposed to the burning sun; fathers sold their children to meet the rising rates’. Unpaid taxes meant being tortured to pay up, and the wretched victim’s land being confiscated by the British. The land tax imposed in India averaged between 80–90 percent of the rental. Within thirty years, land revenue collected just in Bengal went up from £817,553 to £2,680,000.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, as the British economic historian Angus Maddison has demonstrated, India’s share of the world economy was 23 per cent, as large as all of Europe put together. By the time the British departed India, it had dropped to just over 3 per cent. The reason was simple: India was governed for the benefit of Britain.
In 1930, a young American historian and philosopher, Will Durant in His short book, The Case for India wrote-
“The British conquest of India was the invasion and destruction of a high civilization by a trading company [the British East India Company] utterly without scruple or principle, careless of art and greedy of gain, over-running with fire and sword a country temporarily disordered and helpless, bribing and murdering, annexing and stealing, and beginning that career of illegal and ‘legal’ plunder which has now [1930] gone on ruthlessly for one hundred and seventy-three years”.
It was organized loot and plunder. They not only looted us, they divided us on the basis of caste and religion. Many problems that we Indians are facing today can trace their orgin to British colonial era.

Yes, to become slave of British. At least with Mughals the money remained in India but the Britishers grew rich on the expense of Indians
Very simple, if it was really golden era then why India fought for freedom, why so many people people sacrificed their lives for freedom?

Mughals by the time Britishers arrived were almost destroyed by the hindu rulers. Go through the history book, justing having Upadhyaya as a surname does not make u all knowing. Give me 1 prominent mughal leader of that time? None all were weak leaders.
