The saint also denied any Government support and said that the Communist Government in Tripura offered no help to them. And while it was impossible for Hindus to live in Kohima, laborers in the tea gardens there have to follow the diktat of the missionaries. Apart from that, in Mizoram, where the Christians are the majority, 35,000 were ostracized from their caste for not adopting Christianity."
http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/ie/daily/19990208/ige08029.htmThis is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. And this is why I hate reporters who do a bad job. Well mr.journalist-man let me point something to you:
- First thing is, there aren't that many Hindus among the Mizos to be "ostracized".
- Secondly, the few devotees who are in Mizoram (mostly people who come from outside the state) live in harmony with the local people. One great example is, there is a Big Hindu temple next to a Christian minister (Member of Legislature) and here every important Hindu festivals are conducted.
Why do we have to fight with dirt. Lets take pillows instead!!!

As everyone knows, there are some insurgency groups in the North-Eastern area, but their main existence is political not religious. If this reporter come to these area, she can easily find out what are the demands of these groups. Many christian people play an important role for the settlement of disputes between the Govt. and these groups. This is a wrong report as I am normal resident in this area.We strongly opposed this report.
