Graham Stain a christain missionary in disguise as a
doctor was killed in India in 1999. He along with his two sons were brutally murdered
and burnt. The stories relating to that case went on and on for weeks.
"Those who do
not learn history are condemned to repeat it."
- George Santayana
Nearly 2 decades later, John Chau, a chinese american
evangelical chraistain missionary met with same fate.
“You guys might
think I’m crazy in all this, but I think it’s worthwhile to declare Jesus to
these people,” Chau wrote before he took on the suicidal mission to
meet Sentinelese people.
The mission was Suicidal
in a sense that this tribe has been cut off from the outside world for nearly
60,000 years. They do not have immunity for even common deceases like a flue. Hence
Chau’s mere presence on that island could wipe out their entire population. But
missionaries do not care for such things. For them the spreading word of their god
is more important than the lives of some tribal people.
“Lord, is this island Satan’s last stronghold where none have
heard or even had the chance to hear your name?” he wrote in the diary.
He paid local fishermen around Rs
25,000/- to take him to the Island. He knew very well the mission is illegal. The
tribe cannot be contacted as per law. “God Himself was hiding us from the Coast
Guard and many patrols,” Chau stated in a description of the boat journey.
Western christain media is downplaying
this by calling Mr. Chau as “Adventurous”. By that standard Judas was also adventurous.
Chau tried to contact on 16th
November with gifts like fish, football and the christian bible, that too waterproof
edition.
But the tribe was not in the mood for
a Sunday class. They shot arrows towards him warning him not to come to the
island. One arrow pierced through the Bible. That might have been a hint if it
would have received. But it seldom does by christian missionaries. They are
very persistent to rid the local population from their belief system.
“I think I could be more useful alive
. . . but to you, God, I give all the glory of whatever happens,” Chau wrote a few
days before. He asked God to forgive “any of the people on this island who try
to kill me, and especially if they succeed.”
It is all good but when he faced with
real threat on 16th November “God, I don’t want to die,” Chau
wrote. This was among his last entries in his diary.
Maybe God along with Sentinelese people does not understand
English. Chau died on 17th November.
On that fateful night, Chau returned
under cover of darkness with words “I am John, I love you Jesus Love you”. But true
love comes from mutual respect for each other as well as each other’s religion.
Sadly while Christianity talks about love, this one lesson never taught in any church
all around the world.
Some Americans are calling him “Martyr” while others killing
it a murder. Christian demand of murder charge against Sentinelese people.Link
This has brought us
some questions:-
- 1. Americans around the world have a reputation for being arrogant and not adhering to local laws and customs. Very recently in November 2018 itself, China has started biggest crackdown on foreigner tourist ever. They are deporting hundreds of them due to drugs abuse. This island and waters around it are protected under law for a reason. Even Indians are not allowed to go there. And this wannabe pope, missionary travel halfway around the world to convert them.
- 2. I wonder has entire America converted to christianity that this guy has to come to India for his missionary work? There was a clot of scope for him in the United States itself. Every year Americans are leaving christianity. The religion has reduced to fraud in a rich country. “Televangelists” is an American word used to describe for pastors who appear on TV and heal people of their illness through their television sets. For this, they ask for something called “seed” (money) to such an extent that they can plant entire Amazon forest from it. If only Chau would have saved souls who are quitting christianity in America it would be so comfortable and easy.
- 3. Unlike Americans who understand English, it wouldn’t have been easy to harvest souls in Andaman. Chau does not speak their language. We even don’t know what their language is. We only know their language is similar to Jawara language spoken by people on Andaman Island. But hey when you have god with you don’t need to learn the language or notice his sings.
As a devoted Hindu I
wish Chau is reborn as a Sentinelese and be forced to protect the very same
people he has endangered due to his foolish actions. That will be Karma at it’s
finest.
