“ … Hindu girls remain particularly vulnerable to forced religious conversion, abduction, trafficking, child, early and forced marriage, domestic servitude, and sexual violence.” (Referring to Pakistan by United Nations)
Anakapalli District, Andhra Pradesh: In the village of Chimmachinta, located in Nathavaram Mandal of Anakapalli District, a concerning situation has come to light regarding religious conversions affecting the Scheduled Caste community. Out of approximately 100 Scheduled Caste families residing in the village, a significant number, reportedly 60 families, have undergone religious conversion. This leaves the remaining 40 families vulnerable to the influence of conversion groups operating in the area.
Responding to this critical situation and driven by a strong resolve to protect the remaining families from external pressures and influences, Shri Totha Ramakrishna, an active member of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), recently undertook a visit to Chimmachinta village. His visit aimed to understand the ground realities, interact with the villagers, and offer support to those who wish to remain within the Hindu fold.
During his visit to the village, Shri Tota Ramakrishna was received warmly by the local community members. As a gesture of support and appreciation for the efforts being made by GHHF towards the preservation of Dharma and culture, one family in the village graciously extended their hospitality to the activist, providing him with accommodation and care. This act of support underscores the local recognition of GHHF's work and the community's desire to protect their religious identity.
The visit by the GHHF activist highlights the challenges faced by vulnerable communities in certain areas and the ongoing efforts by Hindu organizations to counter conversion activities and provide support to those who are standing firm in their faith.
The situation in Chimmachinta village serves as a poignant reminder of the need for continued efforts to strengthen the Hindu community and protect its cultural and religious heritage in areas facing such challenges.
