The Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA) has suspended the FCRA license of notorious Christian NGO World Vision. Even though it is a religious organisation, it took pains to hide its original identity and claimed to be working for the welfare of children and women. The NGO had received funds for ‘religious’ purposes which contradicts their actual purposes declared in their application to the MHA.
Legal Rights Protection Forum had written to the MHA in 2019, highlighting the violations of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010, seeking it to cancel the license of World Vision India. Reportedly World Vision worked along with Oxfam India, another Christian FCRA NGO, in spearheading a smear campaign against the Bharatiya government 9n it’s response to Covid-19 crisis all the while getting the government’s aid for the same.
The government, perhaps unknowingly, had tied up with World Vision at various level and provided monetary aids as well. For example, Cherian Thomas who served as the head of World Vision India was appointed as an adviser to National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) which comes under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Later NIUA partnered with World Vision India to study the effect of Covid-19 on the lives of slum dwellers in various states.
World Vision’s main contribution is to the Right To Education (RTE) cause through which it has been strengthening the monopoly of Christian schools on th3 education system and destroying Hindu philanthropists’ presence. Many state governments have given them access to school children through RTE initiatives.
It is disturbing considering World Vision targets children of impressionable age falling in the 10/14 window(targeting children between 10-14 ages for conversion). World Vision India had a revealing profile in 2016, which appears to have been deleted after this expose in Opindia. Its website said, “World Vision India is a Christian grassroots humanitarian organisation”.
Even though World Vision India has hidden its real motives, World Vision International, its parent organisation and major donor says otherwise. The latter’s website has page for ‘Statement of Faith’ in which it declares that they believe “the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God”. The Opindia exposé has more such details of the NGOs blatant Christian nature.
- “Our faith in Jesus is central to who we are” [https://www.worldvision.org/our-work/faith-in-action]
- “We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.” [https://www.worldvision.org/statement-of-faith]
- “We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.“
- “We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.”
- “World Vision works in partnership with local churches” [http://www.wvi.org/faqs]
- “Educational activities based on Christian values may occasionally be included in World Vision projects” [http://www.wvi.org/faqs]
- “Our commitment is that when World Vision leaves communities, there will be thriving, engaged churches for sustained spiritual and physical transformation.” [https://www.worldvision.org/our-work/faith-in-action#1470869887604-2b2a7064-3ed2]
World Vision’s website also asks people to donate $12 dollars to distribute Bible to children to help “Share the story of Jesus and the glory of God’s work”. The exposé had revealed how World Vision, with the help of government (caught unawares), wanted to track activities of children both online and offline in the name of ensuring their safety and rights.
In 2018, academic Iain Buchanan who wrote the book The Armies Of God: A Study In Militant Christianity, in an interview to DNA said that the USA uses World Vision and other major evangelical NGOs for foreign policy objectives. He said that World Vision is an extended form of the US state department.
Middle East Forum, a US think tank had exposed World Vision’s terror links in 2019. World Vision funded the Sudan-based Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), a US designated charity linked to Osama Bin Laden with grants from USAID, but also from the United Nations. MEF revealed that “in 2014, World Vision had subcontracted charitable work in the hotly-contested Blue Nile region of Sudan to ISRA, which was designed as a terrorist entity in 2004 for giving millions of dollars to Osama Bin Laden and raising funds for Hamas suicide bombings in 2003”.
It shows how World Vision India could have been sabotaging development works and security of Bharat by working for the US state department and colluding with terrorist elements. Such an organisation was given the responsibility of responding to disasters and educating children and women on their rights as an agent of the central and state governments.
In 2018, World Vision India had gathered personal details of Tamils on the pretext of digitising their documents like Aadhaar, PAN, Birth certificate, Caste Certificate, etc.
It is a relief that such a notorious NGO’s FCRA licence, on which it depends the most for its operations, has been suspended. But it remains to be seen whether it was due to technical issues in filing application for renewal or the FCRA wing uncovering its true nature.
Not so.
The xtian missionaries we interacted with only self exalted themselves, duped and considered all as demonic , even those better than them.
A proper evaluation of xtians needs to be done by you prior generic conclusions that xtians did only good.
Oft its self efforts, logic, general experience and part taking of some References from Bible only that supported
When the Whole Truth and the sense of practical Responsibility , from beings, as best known and possible, is accepted and nurtured, the spirit Energy emanation from such gives needed affection and Solutions .
Some bits of truth could be prevalent in many faiths, and those portions are inspiring, but if it’s not Whole Truth, then the Merit rendered is taken away & of no use.
If the Truly pure beings are hurt , not supported with Adequacy and discouraged, the Spirit Energy through them that is Vital for problem solving and Affection is thwarted also ; any amount of other Efforts then, is of no use .
The genuine seekers of Truth , should be affirmed : this spreads the Unction of Care (& not the energy of insult& other psychological
violent warfare that is used by the lesser)
Due to certain lesser traditions , and unwillingness to accept the True, only a human ( physicalities are focussed upon, and not the real Intrinsic morals Spirit energy that is vitally relevant) looking has been accepted as deity by few; but that does not mean that only humans solely were godly ; Innocent Love has existed amongst other beings also. Infact Focus upon physicality only has caused such to evaluate upon basis of externality and oppress the True across both genders, all Species and geography.
Civilisation has existed for a while now, and some Truths are self Evident and more clearly apparent, and thus also to be implemented more actively.
These are shared because Innocents have been hurt and for some, nothing much has been done to support in practical.
Shiva when explained thoroughly has similar Attributes of purest spirit ; stories are told of all deities, however Reason, Honest self Experience and Courage to be True enables us to be increasingly Moral .
Falsehood oppressed the True, and they lost stamina& desire to exist , and that energy gets manifested ; thus also Relevance of Whole Truths seriously
Infact the Bible shares that Enoch, Elijah, innocent birds, animals and fish are Innocent, as Messiah ; Enoch and Elijah are as Messiah and overcame death as Jesus; and that Innocent birds, animals fish were martyred and should not be , as they are Innocent as Messiah God; however these are not taught , even when known. All truths are not always known, and genuine seekers oft know as it is Knowable; however, what is known as self evident, should be accepted
Yet xtian cults convert using Jesus only and that too some Contributory illegal ( prejudices etc.) aspects in Bible are not removed by them
The Bible claims only Jesus as God Messiah, while also referring Enoch , Elijah and Innocent birds, animals and fish as having been Wholly Innocent ; If Enoch and Elijah were not Messiahs, how did they overcome death as Jesus did, and why were the innocent birds, animals and fish used as Martyrs in former portions of bible?
So many Innocents have been hurt.
True teachings helps real spirituality and that includes corrections , proactive methods to ensure truth and active support of true.
Portions that instruct upon Jesus as Messiah and also allow akin Innocent ( by choice or created, innocent) beings to be hurt, is self contradicting .
Some refer that the flaws are in other faiths also : True Spiritual offer Truth and not justifications for evil
Christian organisations lifted the world out of darkness with education, universities, medicines, new standards in hygiene. Why? Because at the heart, is love for all mankind, and self sacrificing hard work to better the lives of the down trodden and poor. It is what our God tells us to do. To love one another as we do ourselves.
That’s what you have been brainwashed into thinking. Christian fundamentalism was used to justify European colonialism under guise of fancy terms like ‘Manifest Destiny’, ‘White Man’s Burden’ etc. It kept Europe in darkness for ~ 1000 years, and later destroyed once vibrant, propserous and religiously-culturally diverse native civilizations in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Australasia…so it created the darkness that it now claims to ‘pull the world out of’.
Even today, countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia that were completely Christianized through genocide/ethnocide of native peoples are sunk in poverty, instablity and violent crime…so what on earth are you going on about?
Christian missions across the world are mired in sexual exploitation of native children, in all sorts of criminal rackets where cultish leaders reign supreme and where the Vatican routinely rehabilitates sex offenders and protects them from prosecution. Whatever education and healthcare benefits that such missions provide completely outweighed they do by the damage they cause to native psyches, brainwashing future generations to despise their own ancestors and profound, vibrant cultures.
The best help Christian missionaries and evangelists could do if they really want to ‘serve humanity’ is ask their home countries in Europe and the West to pay the Global South repatriations for colonialism and to allow a truly multi-lateral world order to rise instead of forcing everyone to takes sides in bloody European tribal conflicts such as the Ukraine-Russia war, and to continue siphoning off resource wealth from developing countries through neo-colonial financial, political and trade frameworks.
So who will look after the poor of India? Certainly not the RSS. Think about that vile situation that took part in N. India when Hindu mob burn a Christian village killed the parents of two daughters, raped and killed one girl and walked the other naked through the streets all the while sexually assault he to dally take her into ? Wheat field to gang rape her. She I gather is in a place of safety though I could not verify this.Nice going Mr Modi. India has a history of people who wish to lift up the lives of the poorest. How is this thirteen year old daughter of a vegetable vendor eating a pittance allow this child to for full her dream of doing medicine? You just do not care and never have. It took Mr Modi three months to send police to arrest the perpetrators of this male crime in N.India. Only because the videos found their way overseas and he awoke to the fact it might affect the status of India when meeting Pms free Western countries who were likely appalled at India’s lack of care for women and daughters in particular. Foreign NGOs do not behave in this manner, they teach morality and respect for their neighbours, they improve the local lives, the Indian Govt does not bother to freely educate all classes of India. The lower classes are actively repressed especially those seen at the bottom whose only employment is cleaning the human waste so their betters do not have to bother. India lacks compassion and enough care to install sewage treatment and clean water infrastructure to their Poehler. Why is it millions of Indians leave India and find decent lives in the West? Wake up India, congratulations for your landing on the moon. Now try to raise the standard of education and care of your poorest people especially your little daughters whom you kill even before the draw breath.What a nation.
What a bigoted rant, with a completely cooked up story about a ‘crime in some N Indian village’. Have you Christian missionaries no shame? You lot led the brutal colonization of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Australia – exterminating multiple civilizations and indigenous peoples. And now you have your eyes set on Bharat, an ancient civilization which shows the world how diverse religious/spiritual traditions can exist in harmony. Shame on you hate-mongers.
There are contradiction in Bible. .you can know this from manner that its followers behave, inflict the innocent, dupe, neglect.
Clear interpretations of self evident truths are real Religion
Bible does not directly render equal status to women; in some xtian groups, women are regarded inferior.
Infact “some” conservative Hindu families respected women as equals .
Why are you threatened by Christianity? The core is to love God and love your neighbor.
Why are you repulsed by Dharma? Why do you have this genocidal urge that only Christianity is the true religion and Jesus the only Son of God, and all other spiritual paths are false?
Agree with you.
It is genocide.
Those more innocent and innocent sentient beings are regarded as lesser. These kind of missionaries are psychologically incapable of knowing the truth , and some refuse to accept truth due to greed , inferiority complex due to own faults, lust, intellectually lethargic . They strive to boast superiority by always self labelling themselves as perfect saints, counsellors and god’s people
It says other things also that are untrue , that are interpreted to suit Criminals and hurts innocent sentient beings
Bible regards only Jesus as Messiah , while including Enoch and Elijah as also those who overcame death due to purity, and Innocent birds, animals and fish used as Martyrs (akin Jesus).
Thus it’s not these 2 commandments that speak for whole bible
There are contradictions in Bible. Enoch, Elijah also overcame death as dus Jesus , and Innocent birds, animals and fish are akin Messiah and used as Martyrs, and yet only Jesus is referred as Messiah.
Some truths were suppressed, but when known , should be shared .
Even if it’s referred that other faiths & ngos have flaws also, true spiritual render Truth and not justification
Bible has contradictions and lies , along with some truths : that’s why it’s unreasoning followers dupe, lie and self contradict; It says that in Christ all are equal , that there is no distinction between male and female, jew
and Greek, slave and master. .and in another reference , it gives importance to a certain people as god’s people ( in reality, it is proven that this is not so at all and is deceiving to the naive), and male as superior to female.. this way , it takes support for ungodly, and makes slaves of women . Such ideology affects minds, moral decisions, economy and futures
There are some untrue facts and contradictions also in Bible that are evidenced by self evidence, experience and calibration; Bible refers some as god’s people and also says that there is no discrimination ; Bible also refers women as inferior and in another epistle says that both man and woman are equal.
Truth is that , there is no evidence of any specific religious superiority and support should be given based upon merit ; also both male and female are proven as equals in abilities .
Naivette get confused, not all can reason towards whole truth , and support of the unworthy causes harm in all arenas
It’s evidenced that some of the religious frauds also use Organised Crime tactics; they proactively have hired greedy, violent, drunk ( abusive, confused rage , no self control)
and fraudelent people to advocate for their deviousness.
Some of these cults, xtian ngo groups and their members that convert do so with dubious reasons: they are not righteous themselves, have no qualification to take care of those they convert , use insults against them who don’t go to their Church, establish link abroad and demand through their relatives there also, force favours, and are at large violent to get their greeds & demands met with. They also preach Deceptions: that Jews are. a god’s people& force charity for them on TV etc and with no concern for real needy in own land; unequal marriages through fraud and no Committment is common amongst their groups.
Sometimes even religious groups don’t know it all, and neither do some of the opponents.
However, what is more Correct has to be acknowledged, when known.
While there could be portions in Bible that have truths, it’s not completely flawless. When sharing in public, it’s necessary to share this, to prevent misinterpretations. Those matured only would be able to distinguish Relevant portions. Public includes many Naivette.
Violence, verbose& physical is not ‘army of god’; professionals& intellectuals would not approach a religious or ngo group if it has terror links; some innocents have suffered the terror violence deception.
Referred in Article that as per world vision, Bible is only Infallible inspired word of god- this incorrect belief of theirs is founded upon ignorance, & arrogant sense of superiority; beliefs Influence the projects, Colluding etc . –
Hindu Science also has some Beliefs (such as: existence of antaratma, atma, sharir; atmaa as amar; god as Righteous energy etc.- these are in Bible too); It is important to respect what is correct in others, rather than propagandise faulty faiths that hurt the Naivette and their families
Some churches ( with beliefs referred in Article) have been experienced as Abusive, & have violent intra-fights since years ( it has severely affected some from Hindu religions that they tried to convert& enforce Church attendance)
. . how has world vision improved this – towards Transforming lives for better?
Lives are bettered when doctrines of religious based ngos are wholly correct; this is not so at all.
This page is so full of half truths it’s almost impossible to correct them all. Here’s one example: “World Vision’s website also asks people to donate $12 dollars to distribute Bible to children to help ‘Share the story of Jesus and the glory of God’s work’ ”. True, the website invites people to donate $12 to provide a bible, but ONLY when a community requests them. Big difference. Obviously, such a community would be only in those countries where the dominate religion is Christian.
I myself am an atheist, but once was very religious and was part of a Catholic community of trained medical professionals whose goal it was to build hospitals in needy countries and train indigenous people to run them so they eventually could take the hospital over. They never proselytized; that was not their mission. I remember one person on leave from Pakistan who commented that in the decades that she had been working there she had seen only one Pakastani become Christian. That was no problem for our group: in those decades we had trained many many Pakistanis as doctors, nurses, medical technicians, etc.
From this experience I can understand the religions faith of World Vision workers whose goal is not to convert anyone to Christianity but to simply better people’s lives. Why can’t the government of India understand that?
I invite someone from India to provide a more unbiased version of what has lead to this situation.
Nice Job
