During the pre-independence time she was told by the missionaries that she could retain her caste even after becoming a xian.

Why are there rampant xian conversions in Andhra Pradesh ?
When did ths begin ?
Who is responsible ?
This thread attempts to expose the root cause.
/1
During the pre-independence time she was told by the missionaries that she could retain her caste even after becoming a xian.
/2
Anyway to cut a long story short, Bathineni converted and established an "Ashram" for conversions in West Godavari district.
/3
A couple of years before Bathineni was born a boy took birth in the very same Krishna district. He however chose a different profession.
/4
And boy was he successful !!
To my limited knowledge he set a benchmark as a hero in commercial films which is looked upon with respect even today.
/5
He was none other than N T Rama Rao. (popularly known as NTR)
/6
Patience, we will get to that.
The Telugus like many in India are an extremely intelligent race with achievements in all kinds of fields over the centuries.
They have an Achilles heel though.
/7
The behaviour of Telugu people when it comes to films cannot be described. It has to be seen to be believed.
/8
Coming back to NTR, he was the undisputed king of his times with an equally fanatical following. During these times the Telugu movie industry was located in Chennai.
/9
(if there is anyone to surpass the stupidity of Telugu/Tamil fans, it is EVR fans)
/10
He wrote, directed, produced and acted in a movie titled "Daana Veera Soora Karna". The movie eulogizes Karna of Mahabharata.
/11
Bottom-line is NTR depicted a villain as a wrongly persecuted hero.
And boy, did the Telugu public lap it up !
/12
The reality of the character according to the epic ?
What rubbish are you talking ?
NTR showed it in a film. He must be right. To hell with Vyasa.
/13
Films are "Gospel Truth". (Pun intended)
/14
Film titled "Yamagola".
NTR on reaching hell preaches Communism to lord Yama forcing hell to stop functioning. And this is after mocking Indra in heaven.
/15
I think this was the film which pioneered Chitragupta as a joker to be mocked at.
(If only the people laughing while watching the film were to know the truth...)
/16
The Telugu people could not get enough of this.
Even today many watch it and enjoy seeing their gods mocked on the screen.
/17
Now what does the degeneration of the Telugus due to movies have to do with xian conversions in the state ?
/18
Like the many incomparable seers of Bharatavarsha, some have worn the same clothes but for a different reason.
/19
Nobody would have bothered much about this but for those who gave him "Aarati" like you do during puja.
NTR insisted on this and there were many who believed he was a god !
/21
NTR entering politics brought about two radical changes in Andhra -
1. Caste as a major factor
2. Institutionalizing hatred towards Brahmins
/22
So far we have seen that a Kamma through films successfully brought about degeneration in the Telugu society.
/23
Nope, NTR turned out to be much worse than Bathineni Subbamma. After all he studied in Andhra Christian college at Guntur.
/24
This IS the major reason for conversions today.
Let us examine the frightening aspects of it.
/25
(a) all public charitable institutions and endowments, whether registered or not, in accordance with provisions of this Act, other than Wakfs governed by the provisions of the Wakfs Act, 1954.
/26
This is reflected in how @JaiTDP MP has promised Muslims in Vijayawada that he will not implement CAA if his party wins the municipal polls.
/27
This means if I create a fund on my own for providing monetary allowance to temple purohits, this act applies to me.
Not so if it is for those running a madrasaa.
/28
1. "Board" means the Tirumala-Tirupathi Devasthanams Board
2. "Chairman" means the Chairman of the Board of the Committee of Management of Tirumala-Tirupathi Devasthanams
/29
More definitions from the Act -
/30
This means - Any property which belonged to or was given or endowed for the support or maintenance of a charitable institution or which was given, endowed or used as of a right for
/31
/32
Tl:dr - any property donated for charity to a Hindu institution belongs to the government.
(as specified earlier only Hindu property)
/33
This parishad does not exist today.
As the name implies it was a body to preserve/spread Hinduism and temples across the state.
/34
(17) "Math" means a Hindu Religious Institution presided over by a person, whose principal duty is to engage himself in the teaching and propagation of Hindu religion and philosophy or the teachings and
/35
It goes on to define "Maths" or "Mutts" to exercise control over them.
/36
Surprise surprise !
The government can take over this too :-)
How ?
/37
/38
Reminder - Only for Hindus.
Law created by movie star who made a name for himself playing Rama/Krishna.
/39
/40
Though no explanation is required it defines the appointment of the government goondas to enforce this act.
/41
Non-Hindus are employed in the same temple today.
Which government appointed them ?
This government also appointed non-Hindus in other famous temples across the state.
/42
How could he do it ?
The Hinduphobic Act devised by his father-in-law made it possible.
/43
A relatively famous temple has X as its chief deity.
The Murthi used to sport a moustache.
This was removed by the Executive Officer of the temple on the premise (hold your breath) "Nobody under him can have a bigger moustache".
/44
The temple will not be named to protect its purohit. When I offered to put money in the purohit's plate and not the Hundi, he just smiled.
Later on he told me that CCTV cameras record that and he has to surrender everything.
/45
Apparently the Executive Officer does not like it. Anyway he gave me his home address if I wanted to talk more.
/46
Do read her her gut wrenching story of Arasavalli temple if you already haven't.
/47
Imagine the plight of unknown/smaller temples ?
/48
Only thing which needs to be stated explicitly is that the government reserves the full right to appoint or dismiss any of these people.
Hereditary rights are abolished.
/49
The ground was well laid by the then Chief Minister to destroy temples and everything associated with them in Andhra Pradesh.
Remember it was the very same CM who became famous as Rama/Krishna
/50
This fad of ridiculing Hindu deities on screen has been so normalized over the years that people think you are crazy if you object to it.
The degeneration is complete.
/51
Anyway we have established that the Act became a tool to destroy temples and Hinduism in Andhra.
Now what is it about temples that attracted the invaders of Bharatavarsha over the centuries ?
More than priceless jewels/gold/artefacts ?
It was land.
/52
But let us stick to anti-Hindu NTR who actually made sure he could do it in his tenure.
/53
This was used as sustenance for the upkeep of the temple. By upkeep of the temple it includes providing food to the poor, education to children etc.
/54
Depending on the decisions of the temple trustees, the temple would cultivate the land by itself or lease it out to the villagers.
A self-sustaining eco-system.
/55
And the government has done so on many occasions WITHOUT paying the necessary compensation.
(Described in an earlier thread)
/56
A large family survives on cultivating leased land of a temple.
One day the government decides to take over the land for setting up an orphanage.
(We know who runs orphanages in India but that is another story)
/57
Now the friendly guy in a white nightie turns up.
Earlier the very same family would mock or even spit on this guy.
But now he has all the answers. He can provide capital for setting up a shop/business.
/58
The fees to be paid to the man in the white nightie ?
Convert and after a year pay 10% of your shop income to the church every month.
/59
A resident of the village works very hard in cultivating half an acre of land to sustain his family. Let us assume he is from the "privileged class".
The farmer works very hard to educate his son who does his bit in joining IIT and later flying to USA
/60
His parents in the village pass away and the land is grabbed by XYZ.
The son flies back to sell his land.
/61
Magically the man in white nightie appears !
He will help the son in freeing the land from XYZ and selling it.
His fees for the help rendered ?
/62
Though he converts, it remains a dirty secret to him when he goes back to the US.
He continues to practise the faith he was born in.
/63
Laxmi was bored. She had married well. Her husband owned about 30 acres of good cultivable land and he worked hard.
Having married early both her sons were in their late teens for whom life outside was more important and mother was just an existing entity.
/64
As a child she would go play near her village temple and attend the music/dance classes there.
Now in this village the temple was open only for a few hours.
/65
To top it all, she had seen all the new movies more than 3 times on Tv.
/66
He does something very exciting. He brings a White man to the village !!
Everyone in the village had seen a White man only on the screen or in books.
Ah ! He is so wonderful !
/67
And he says such wonderful things too ! (translated by nightie man)
The White man speaks so beautifully of love of mankind and how everyone in the village can become like him. How ?
Just convert !
You can retain your caste too !
/68
Stories of converting purely for the greed of money or medical reasons are not mentioned here.
There are many more, but I think these are enough to illustrate what is happening.
/69
1. Enable the people to stop thinking
2. Normalise hatred/ridicule on their beliefs
3. Gain political power
4. Create legislation and literally amputate them from following their ancient traditions
/70
I know the above sounds like some conspiracy theory, but that is exactly the history of Andhra Pradesh.
/71
The truth is they have destroyed this state while hilariously calling themselves Dharmic and using the phrase "Telugu pride".
/72
As recent news have shown, many temples/murthis in Andhra have been vandalized.
What the news will not show is there are many unreported stories of vandalism.
/73
Any @YSRCParty supporter asks you for a vote.....
Thread was written in view of the upcoming municipal polls in the state.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
