Shocking disclosure by “BAHA’I NEWS INDIA”

The recent monthly circulation of Indian Baha\'is, The BAHA’I NEWS 
INDIA, ISSUE VII JULY 2010 has revealed shocking facts, through an 
article titled “Preparations of Government of India Census 2011”, 
These are summarized as under:

1.      There have been rigorous conversion activities over the past fifty 
years by the Baha’i Faith.

2.      These conversions was accelerated with the construction of the 
Lotus Temple at Delhi and with the visits of Hands of the Cause Dr. 
Rahmatulláh Muhájir, and Amatu\'l- Bahá Ruhiyyih Khánum.

3.      Though the Baha’i records of the data on Baha’i population shows 
that one time it had crossed two millions yet the Census of India 
reports of 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2001 show only a fraction of the total 
number Baha\'is throughout the country. This means that the census 
department of India fumbled four times to give accurate number of 
Baha\'is. Just to cite an example, Baha’i census figures in 1991 was 
5575 and in 2001 it was 11,324 against 2.2 millions claimed by the 
Baha’i administration.

4.      Through the article we understand this is largely due to illiteracy 
and lack of distinct identifying characteristics of rural Indians. 
Does it not mean that conversions were done deceptively without an 
individual ever knowing that he has accepted the Baha’i Faith? Does it 
also not indicate that the Baha\'is have been targeting rural Indians 
(mostly in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh) for the past so many 
years?

5.      The article suggests that Baha’i Faith members display Baha’i Faith 
identification stickers in their houses so that the official GOI 
census official can enter the religious identity accurately. This is a 
very big accusation against both the individual being interviewed and 
the GOI census official! Are both these so gullible that one will 
forget to declare his allegiance to the Baha’i Faith and the other 
will record it based on stickers/posters on the wall! Is it not some 
sort of racist discrimination practiced by the Baha’i Faith governing 
body, many of them being of Iranian origin. Should we tolerate such an 
assessment of our fellow countrymen!

6.      The article suggests that the Baha’i Faith machinery will attempt 
to contact government officials from highest level down to Panchayat 
level. Is this not some sort of influencing the government officials 
in performance of their duty? Should not serious action be taken 
against the Baha’i Faith for this?

7.      Lastly, the article silently threatens the readers that giving 
wrong information to the census department is punishable!. Do we need 
to learn this from scoundrels who have always used deception to 
inflate numbers, perform conversion activities and get government 
concessions? In fact the action should be taken against the Baha’i 
administration for misguiding the world since last so many years.

AT THE END, CAN BAHA’I ADMINISTRATION EXPLAIN WHY THE NUMBER OF LOCAL 
SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLIES MENTIONED IN BAHA’I WORLD [VOLUME XVIII 
(1979-1983)] IN INDIA WERE MORE THAN 10,000 WHILE THE PRESENT NUMBER 
OF ASSEMBELIES IS ONLY 600 - WHICH IS JUST 6%. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 
THIS GROSS EXAGGERATION - THE CENSUS DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA 
OR THE BAHA’I ADMINISTRATION THEMSELVES?

Dear readers, I have worked for Baha\'is for many years. Never even in 
their exaggerated record the Baha’i population reached even the figure 
of 20,000. Everybody at the top is absolutely convinced that there is 
gross exaggeration in the Baha’i population in India and elsewhere in 
the world, but nobody wants to accept publicly because of fear of 
sanctions from the Universal House of Justice. Moreover the Baha\'is 
claim that 40% of world Baha’is resides in India, which is just 11324. 
Is it not easy now to assess World Baha’i Population? Let someone also 
open the can of worms on authentic world Baha’i population!
