Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) – ‘If there is genuine faith in Dharma, there will be no conversion. Religious conversion is equivalent to a switching loyalty to the nation. Therefore, it is necessary to create awareness among Hindus. Do not convert to other religions out of greed or temptation’, Sharadrao Dhole, All-India Executive Member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and All-India Chief of Dharma Jagaran, said while speaking in Vashi.

He was addressing the Hindu Matang Conference organised by the Indirabai Gaikwad Charitable Trust at Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium in Vashi, where he was invited as the chief guest. On the dais were Forest Minister Ganesh Naik, former MP Sanjeev Naik, Trust President Dilipkumar Gaikwad, and other dignitaries. On this occasion, some individuals from the community who had excelled in their fields were honoured with the Samajbhushan award. Dhole also mentioned, ‘Due to ongoing awareness efforts, hundreds of Hindus are returning to their original faith’.

Krantiguru Lahuji Salve endured British atrocities but never renounced Hinduism : Gaikwad

Dilipkumar Gaikwad said, ‘Krantiguru Lahuji Salve, revered by the community, was a Hindu. Despite facing oppression during the British era, he never abandoned Hindu Dharma. We have the blood of such revolutionaries within us. Therefore, our community members have no need to convert to Christianity. He also pointed out that those who convert lose their Scheduled Caste certification’.
