Controversial lecture on ‘How to spread Christianity in India’ to be held at University of Madras

Event organised in the name of a Tamil Brahmin Judge

Chennai – A lecture on the topic ‘How to spread Christianity in India’ has been organised at University of Madras. Interestingly, this lecture is being held in the name of S. Subramania Ayyar, a Tamil Brahmin and former Chief Justice of the Madras High Court from 100 years ago. The event, scheduled for 14thMarch, will feature K. Siva Kumar as the speaker. The event’s promotional material has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage among Hindus.

1. According to the circulating pamphlet, the event is scheduled under ‘Sir S. Subramania Ayyar Endowment Lecture’ by the Department of Ancient History and Archaeology. The topics include ‘How to spread Christianity in India’ and ‘Why need this margam’.

2. The keynote speaker for the event is Er. K. Siva Kumar, a chief engineer from Hyderabad.

3. Despite having a separate department for Christian studies, the Department of Ancient History and Archaeology organising such a religious lecture is being viewed with suspicion.

Impact on the reputation of University of Madras

University of Madras has produced many great personalities such as renowned mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, former Indian President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, physicist C. V. Raman, and Hindu spiritual Guru Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati. However, this incident has raised serious concerns about the university’s reputation.

Opposition by BJP

Reacting to the event, Tamil Nadu BJP State Secretary Dr SG Suryah questioned on social media platform X :’A lecture at Madras University on ‘How to spread Christianity in India’ Is this extremism ? Radical propaganda ? Does anyone have anything to say about this ?’

Senior thinker S Gurumurthy said :’This does not add any merit to Xianity except to certify it will fraudulently convert not only individuals but also intellectual institutions (sic)’.

Editorial Perspectives

  • Those who accuse the inclusion of the Bhagawadgeeta in schools as the ‘saffronisation of education’ are now conveniently silent when ‘Christianisation of education’ is taking place !
  • It is outrageous that a Government university like University of Madras is being used for Christian propaganda. Hindus should put pressure on the Tamil Nadu Government to take strict action against the event organisers.
  • Given that Dravida MunnetraKazhagam (DMK) is known for its strong anti-Hindu stance, it is no surprise that such events are being organised under its rule. The so-called champions of secularism are maintaining a deafening silence on this matter !
