Udupi, Nov 22: India is the only country in the world where majority community is branded as communal, according Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swami, junior seer of Pejawar Mutt.
He was speaking at the inaugural function of the contact office of the Dharma Sansad to be held from November 24 to 26, here.
While the majority community or religion in other countries occupied a pride of place, in India, the majority religion/community had been branded as communal. If everyone in the Hindu community became united, it would be possible to overcome the divide and rule policy followed by politicians, he said.
The seer said that the youth of Hindu community had to be made aware of the problems and challenges before society. The majority Hindu community, which formed 85% of the total population during Independence, was now down to 77%. The number of Christians had increased from 3.5 crore to 7.5 crore.
He said that people were making mindless comments on Santana Dharma, without understanding it fully.
Just as elected representatives and the officers had to follow a single Constitution, so too it was in the Hindu religion — though there were 33 crore gods, the main deity was one. People should not feel diffident of their culture and heritage. They should be proud of it, he said.
Inaugurating the contact office, T.V. Mohandas Pai, Chairman of Manipal Global Education, said that India would emerge as the third largest economy in the world by 2030. It was essential to provide education, shelter and basic facilities to all citizens.
Rajendra Pankaj, secretary of national council of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Gopal, organising secretary of Southern Zone of VHP, P. Vilas Nayak, president of the district unit of VHP, Sharan P., Sunil K.R., Bajrang Dal leaders, were present. M.B. Puranik welcomed the gathering. T.A.P. Shenoy proposed a vote of thanks.

True ;
1) Hindus are communal/ terrorists_Sangh Parivar Hindus actually.
2) Population Declining - coz Other religions are better, and you have harmonal problems.
This Seer is misguing common man. He is talking in favor of Hindutwa run by sangh parivar whereas many Hindus reject this. Lingayats / low castes etc. are fed up with these people and trying to come out. They dont want to be ruled by upper castes.
All the guest were belongs to communal groups so what can you expect other than comminalism??
Swami should recognize & differentiate the hindus and the hindutuva. The hindutuva which is run by the cheddis are degrading the hindus. The cheddis are ruling the so called low caste and other hindus.. Now we clearly know that dalits are suppressed by the upper caste. If they really think that we are all hindus instead of caste discrimination, Let the SWAMI speak this injustice to the hindutuva leaders who alwz use the lower caste hindus to do the evils and we are trapped in the chains of law and the family suffering...
