The cynical abuse of Christian faith and belief by the party-political campaigners in recent weeks in Nagaland is yet another deplorable and deliberate attempt to sabotage the identity of Christian community in Nagaland. ‘Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!’ is a Christian sacred expression meant for their reaffirmation and commitment with awe and reverence but to syncretize it with “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” is purely communal as it forces a certain mythological idea of motherland Bharat being Devi, a Hindu deity.

 

‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ may suit a particular faith and religious philosophy but not all and to utter both phrases at a time for one’s own political gain is disgraceful.

 

The Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) seeks every right-thinking citizen to refrain from conforming to political inducement as it has the potential to mislead any religious faith community.

  2. Hi there! This article couldn’t be written any better! Going through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I’ll forward this article to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a very good read. Many thanks for sharing!

  3. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
