This
could be the plot of a fevered thriller. A jingoistic president, multi-million
dollar corporations, high technology, a grand if furtive mission, networks
spanning the globe, and biblical invocations.
Only it’s real. And its got India in its crosshair.
Religious expansionism has not witnessed this scale, scope, and state
resources in a long time. Detailed investigations by Tehelka reveal that
American evangelical agencies have established in India an enormous, well-coordinated
and strategised religious conversion plan. The operation was launched
in the early 1990s but really came into its own after George W Bush, an
avowed born-again Christian, became president of the United States in
2001.
This could be the plot
of a fevered thriller. A jingoistic president, multi-million dollar corporations,
high technology, a grand if furtive mission, networks spanning the globe,
and biblical invocations.
