<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->On 16 Jan, 2005, Akashvani Tura, Meghalaya, Miss Edrilla Sangma a school
teacher conducted a half an hour programme with some students from Edenbary
Sunday School, Tura from 9.30 am to 10.00 am.
A Christian-Hindu conflict was catered in this progrramme by projecting
Christian supremacy over other indigenous religious faiths. According to the
story, told by Miss Edrilla Sangma to the children, the Hindu villagers
brutally murdered a teenage Hindu boy in the village for accepting Christian
faith. The murdered boy was cremated in a nearby jungle following the
traditional rituals of his family. Miss Edrilla Sangma fabricated the story
as the murdered boy got resurrected exactly like Jesus Christ and again
appeared in the jungle as miracle of Jesus. Miss Edrilla Sangma further
added that due to the influence of this Chamatkar all Hindu villagers
embraced Christianity. Further she asked the children, My dear children,
thus you knew the divine strength of Jesus now would you also like to
embrace Christianity? All the children replied in affirmative way, and she
discarded and dejected all the traditional religious faiths of the N-E
region.
After completing this story <b>Miss Edrilla Sangma appealed the innocent
children of various Hindu faiths and other minority Hindu tribes of Garo
Hills ( viz. Koch, Hajong, Rabha & Bodos) to accept Christianity and
encouraged them to give up their ancestral hapless gods.</b>
To broadcast such type of programmes by the various Akashvani centers in
North East is a regular phenomenon; this kind of humiliating, communal and
inhumane programmes should be checked immediately and the culprits should
be brought to the books.
For this gross violation of secular fabric of Aakashvani we had registered a
strong protest against Aakashvani Tura  with I&B Minister, CEO Prasar
Bharati and DG Aakashvani in February- 2005.
Unfortunately we have not received any reply regarding this complaint till
the date. As Christmas and New Year approaches same incidences will be
repeated in near future.
To check the implementation of the Christian Agenda of so called secular
Aakashvani  this issue needs to be raised in Parliament.
