    Rajiv is in conversation with two Hindu delegates from Ghana at the World Hindu Conference. In this small but very interesting video, the delegates trace the history of the establishment of Hinduism as a religion in Ghana and the positioning of Hindus in a largely Christian milieu. They describe the lonely existence for about 2000 families that follow Hinduism there and how it is difficult to assert their identity in the numerous spheres for example politics.

    We must also get to know why many Hindus in South Africa are converting to Christianity
    Now only less than 50% of the Indian origin people in South Africa are Hindus
    This is a huge drop since 90% of the indentured labours who were taken to South Africa were Hindus
    Many Pentecostal and other churches are deceiving and converting Hindus in South Africa
    We need to raise the awareness among all Hindus living in Africa and across the World

    • @lalala5888
      @lalala5888 Před 4 lety +12

      I am Hindu from South Africa and one of the reasons for conversion is that hindu priests and scholars make Hinduism seem inaccessible to common people. They are very judgemental of differing points of view and they seem to want to perpetuate a caste system that prohibits social mobility. Christianity is just easier.

    So hindus in ghana face discrimination to according to laxmi. GoI needs to seriously invest in ghana hindus to safe guard their interests. Otherwise the larger christian majority will eat them up. In india itself we are having big time trouble with the missionaries. Imagine their plight. It's not enough to gloat "hinduism is this", "hinduism is that" in the comment section, which is all I see in the comment section. Listen to them first, learn their problems in the christian majority ghana and spread the word among your friends. But all I see is gloating about how "hinduism has spread to africa" etc., Laziness and complacence is all hindus are good at. Listen to them you buffoons. They are still a minority and are facing discrimination. That's the crucial point here.

      If Christian majority is a threat, Hinduism wouldn't have been spreading in the west. Stop being a anti- Christian or Muslim. It's only coz of their liberalism and freedom of religion, you are able to grow up your community converting people there. Don't falsely accuse any other religion.

And even though I didn't know much about you or even Hinduism and you were you paying a short visit to the Adheenam you were kind and welcoming to me. Only after returning to Germany I actually found out about your foundation and your mission!
