When Jyoti Adhikari became a Christian, her husband, who came from a traditional Hindu family, could not stomach the thought. But Adhikari didn't flinch, even though her husband divorced her.

The person above says that Christianity should be abolished from Nepal! I am from Nepal and the greatest experience in my life is becoming a Christian. Christianity is love, mercy, hope, peace, and much more. If one is truly honest Christianity all root problems is from sin. Despite what you think about Christianity, my Lord taught me to love thy enemy and if I can love my enemy the problem is easy to solve. My God says that He is not a respecter of persons regardless, of race, color, gender, wealth, or academic education. In Jesus' name I proclaim that Nepal will some day come realize what Jesus Christ offers.

The first two posters are typical hindu fascists who are worried that dalits and lower castes cannot not be controlled by their religio-caste dictates any longer if they leave hindu religion and switch to other religions. 250 million dalits live horrible lives under the oppressive hindu caste system, murder, rape and discrimination is rampant. Yet when chrisitians set up schools or hospitals and try to give a helping hand, the typical response from these hindu militants is to cry foul and spread lies against christians. The fact is dalits, tribals and other lower castes have their indigenous religions and what is called 'hindu' in reality applies only to the minority caste hindus, but they were able to dump the 'hindu' identity on the former through force and propaganda, but all that is coming to naught due to the new awareness among dalits. Caste Hindus fear that the new converts who get a taste of freedom and rights no longer obey the caste rules. A dalit is free in christ.

I agree with the comment of SMT below... I mean what next .. and personally I totally disagree with the fact of conversion .. I think NO ONE SHOULD CONVERT THEIR RELIGION IF THEY BELIVE IN GOD AT ALL.. becoz its by GOD's will we all are Born in a perticular family and religion ... so by converting into another its going against the will of GOD and Just be what you are and try to be a Better person keeping your original faith with you in which you were born. BUT AGAIN As Sri "Krsna" Said to Arjun in "Bhagvad Gita" that "Everyone practice different religion as per their Conciousness" so the as we all can see what kind of Conciousness eachone of us has (from different religion) ... IF We say that GOD is ONE then BELIVE IN IT ... let DO HIS WORK dont' try to become GOD by going on the Street and converting others, YOU CAN'T KEEP A TRUE PERSON IN YOUR RELGION WHY TO CONVERT OTHER AND MAKE THEM CONFUSE .. simple law Quality is always better than Quantity... THINK THINK ...

Christianity should be abolished from Nepal. They are the root of all problems for nepal and will continue to do so. Sonia Gandhi is the mistress of the plot in Nepal . all the problems and sorrows that have sown seeds are due to Sonia Gandhi. It was under Sonia's influence that Baburam abd his wife converted into Christianity. Actually we do not care if these terrorist are Christians but imposing and luring people into their religion should not be tolerated in Nepal. India has first tried to wipe out monarchy, and then wipe the army, destroy our religion and then destroy our nationalims . If India does not stop this they will pay a price for this. You will find nepali fundamentalist [ never heard of before] blowing up important infrastructure and monuments in New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai,Hyderabad etc. INDIA , BEWARE !!

Our prayers are for the people and nation of Nepal. Especially for those Christians that are living and working there to bring the Good News to the former Hindu Kingdom.
