THE HISTORY OF UNTOLD MISERY AND PERSECUTIONS TO CHRISTANS IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH INDIA:-



The history of Christian Missionary in the state of Arunachal Pradesh is that of tears and pain that can shock every once conscience. I was also filled with tears while writing this . Surprisingly this persecutions happened mostly during Congress party regime in the State of Arunachal Pradesh in North East part of India from- 1953-1993. This reference is purely an academic discussion and not aimed at inciting any communal passion or hurting any one . And is written as compiled by brother Neelam Taram in his book-A Glimpses into Baptist Churches in Arunachal with special reference to Subansiri :-

1834- First time Mrs.C.A Bruce , a committed Christian lady , opened a school at Sadiya for Khamtis and Signphos and converted around five persons.

21st-26th june 1993:-Loiliang and Bekuliang Churches in Lohit Dist. Was burnt.

Thus time for every one to have pity on the Christians in Arunachal Pradesh who have today reached 50-60% of the total Arunachal Pradesh.By joining for fight for Christian right`s in some places in A.P, where still indirect persecutions seems to be evident .Than only one may can get the forgiveness of God upon their father and relatives and party to which he belong, who earlier persecutions upon Lord and Savior himself unknowingly.

Interestingly the place where their was least persecutions to the missionaries by the locals like in Nyishi belt of Arunachl Pradesh India the blessings of the God is also seen manifold. The setting up of Arunachal Pradesh new capital in Itanagar is its example. This is in spite of fact that the original proposal came to my home town Basar and pasighat in Siang Dist. where most of the persecutions happened.And the Adis refused the capital than to repent now, when it is too late. This is of course barring few like lateTomo Ribaji Ex.C.M the founder of PPA.And my father Sri Dakto Basar from whom I learn so many good things, who was few of those than  to try to convince others for accepting the Govt. proposal. Today also we may commit a Himalayan blunder if we fail to receive the living God and his justice in time and appreciate his disciples and leaders by showing them magnamity also .

THE SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTENCE OF LORD CHRIST:-


                         The saying goes science is lame without religion and the religion is blind without science. In my earlier article I wrote how Jesus Christ was all encompassing and Christianity can be seen as complete religion having good parts of all the religion. As Jesus Christ affirmatively said in the jews synagogue(temple) -`Today religion have been fulfilled in me.`Today let us check how scientifically Lords existence and his doctrines are proved.The place where the lord was born is still their, even heard that the name of the governors like Pontius Pilate engraved in the Jerusalem stone monuments.

                           The Roman calendar is based on Lord`s birth which we all celebrate as Christmass day on 25th Dec to this days .The world is today divided between two times based on his birth one before his birth and one after his birth.The dead sea scroll kept in Cairo museum found accidently by a Sheppard have been undertaken with the carbon dating experimentation since long and their age of the scroll made of papyrus plant have been nearly verified as the same time when the Holy Bible books where written by 12 Apostles.

It is pertinent to mention that all the books and all the chapters written by the apostles where not accepted by the earlier leaders under the instruction of the Pope.only those stories which found similarly mentioned by about 2-3 authors where accepted as fact and where included in the holy Bible.Thus the result is adjact documentation of what happened during that day in the view of Mathieu , John and Luke etc.as gospel of epic Holy Bible.And thus we get that many historical facts are the adjact word and sentence of what Lord and savior said during his time himself.

You see most of the believers from advanced developed Country where not ready to accept the Bible preaching in toto unless they made total introspection before accepting the Lord.But the justification in a scientific way is forbade by Holy Bible .And also has some limitation`s, as eventually it is the graceness of the God that he anoint some at the cost of others.The anti Christ groups have been equally active siting Extra terrestrial elements and UFO role in writing Holy Bible.And some even made controversial movies like-` Vinchi Code`, to defame the gospel. But the power of the God cannot be denied also , see howsoever we criticize America and Europe we cannot deny that after 2nd world war it come become more powerfull. The critics will still criticize by saying Britishers ruled India because of the superiority complexion infused by higher spiritual realization. But here also their was injustice to our own Indians by rich and powerful by our own ,like the sati system earlier prevalent in India.Like today also for the swiss bank black money issue our own Peoples may be also responsible.Thus we need to see that God has send missionaries and pastors to benefit us also.

As it is said seek thy kingdom and righteousness first and everything shall flow unto you.Shame that Today many Indian money is rotting in the foreign bank .Or who knows some may have been blackmail to invest in Europe. Therefore the time may have been also come not only to discuss passing of Jan Lok Pal Bill .But to seek the higher spiritual realization after all Hinduism support this experimentations .See the concept of the Samudra Manthan this is in fact atma chintan self introspection.So an atma chintan of highest order may alone change us as an Individual , family , society , country and world.

Congratulation`s for winning national gold medal :-

    Dear Kojum Taba S/O Our pastor Town Baptist Church Basar Yumko Tabaji- you did proud to all our Baptist believers in particular , Basar town and Arunachal in general by winning three gold medal in the National wight lifting championship recently. May God bless you more in the future.This is first time the Abotani community son`s as a whole has a reason to feel something proud about as a larger  community.


                                                                                                              Sincerely ,
                                                                                                                 Sd/-
                                                                                                             Adv. Togo Basar
                                                                                                            Adviser Christian community Basar.

Who was and is Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?



                                         The Christianity is a world religion and Jesus come for all ,this is not a English religion .The place where Jesus Christ was born was neither in Asia, Africa or Europe. Plus there is no picture to show the color of Jesus God is a spirit and thus who worship him must worship in spirit .Even the nature prays him see the symbol of the star , use of trees and sheep’s in Christmas. The wind heard the Lords command thus even the nature was under him.

                                   The great man like Swami Vivekananda inspired from him and advocated the prayer of unseen God.The three Magi’s who came to witness the baby Christ where said to have come from the eastern side 3000 miles away .The expert see it as the modern Iran, the place from where the 3 Magis come.And as the Aryans who started Hinduism are supposed to once lived their, therefore the magis can be seen as highly spiritual Hindu Sadhus. The Jesus was born in the mother Mary’s womb in a unique way to bring Gods gospel , but in fact he was not born .He was living all the time in the past and will live in future .It is wrong to argue why God did not born in our community as this was also subject of discussion during those days by rich.God`s will after all is final , as he is the owner of the world and heaven.The miracle of God is unparallel he could rise the dead one`s and did whatever it was only possible by son of God as he claimed himself.The 500 witness who show the resurrected Christ and affirmed this all were killed by Roman Emperor. Mind it none will like to die for the false testimony. The success of the super power Americans can be attributed to their sincerity to living God.The birth of Christ was long prophesized by the prophets like Isaiah.

                            The Gods story was definitely known by all the community and religion followers since time inmemorial even in our folksongs their we find this .See years of separation seems to have brought slight changes in the story of all the religions , as after tower of Jerubabbel incidence all the great grand fathers separated. This theory is proved by many similarities between all the religion and Christian religion. Like Holy Bible, in Hinduism also,their seems to be believe that their will be kalki avatar wearing white dress in Kalyug.The story of tower of Jerrubabel is akin to the Muni Sukhracharyas challenge to the Devtas to make parallel heaven. The Nuas story is somewhat same with the Hindu forefather`s Manu`s story being saved by the fish in great flood.
                                          The father son holy spirit concept of Christianity is akin to the Brahma ,Bishnu and Mahesh trinity god of Hindus.Even the Buddhist philosophy of not killing animal is akin to the Christian doctrines - `you shall gospel to all the creatures’. The concept of the kalptaru in Hindu is akin to Christmas tree.The philosophy of Puran is akin to ,`love thy neighbor`.Namely-`Astadesu puraneshu Vyasasya vachana Duyam ,Paropkaray Punyay ,Parpidanay Papay.`Which means the summary of 18 Puranas is to help other is holy and to harm is greatest sin.Some time the Hindu famous Shirdi ka Sai Baba priest seems to have evolved from a Christian healer.As in hindi Christian is called as Isai.

                         Today even the world seems to indirectly worship the living God. See the happiness at which People celebrate the new year which is a Christian festival along with Valentines Day. As the new year is basically extension of celebration of Lords birth in earth as the world runs on Roman calendar. Therefore this world is only depending on God`s mercy and graceness knowingly and unknowingly. We need to be liberated from the bondage of our sins which seems to be separating us from God. The peoples in India still seems to be in fools paradise that the Britishers used Christianity for enslavement of the Country .While fact is due to our own weakness we become slaves today also. Friends more than original daily used products, in fact we need true and living God.This merry Christmas may bring a new change for you. Praise the lord.

THE BATTLE ROYAL SEMI FINAL IN U.P ELECTION :-



                                              The battle between the BJP and the Congress is going to be the epic battle no less than like the Ramayana and Mahabharata . All the search for committed friends will be on by both the party and young Rahulji is doing his best .But so far common mood due to price rise seems to be against Congress. In world their has to be also neutral persons like me universally accepted who proves to be friends of both and can hammer out a peaceful solution. Isn`t our Holy Bible says -`Blessed are those who are peace makers`. Fortunately for me Tarun Vijaji BJP national Spokesman, Baba Ramdevji in real life and in face book I suppose Rahul Gandhi himself has become a good friend.

Thus it seems God wants me to extent his mission to this powerful Peoples also as he may have given me platform of Adviser peace and Justice Dept. CBCNI not for sleeping. As for BJP I have already send my inclination to help them sending a healer and a preacher if they really want to win the election. After all Lord and savior can alone do miracle, but for this they have to repent. As lord and savior may have been a Asian God not foreign God as many of BJP supporters believe due to anti British hangovers. The Congress becoming epitome of scam but always have been seen to be quick in seeking Gods forgiveness. As politics is called as the last refugee of the scoundrels but BJP is mostly seen to be disciplined cadres .Only they seems to be not seeking God`s kingdom till logical end .

                                       But as ultimately victory lies to the God this time what they should do instead of churning out poisonous formulas from dirty mind? Is go for prayer and fasting to the God and savior .mind it if God wishes even third front way come up for a long time.As both the national party also seems to have reached a saturation point. Is our Nitish Kumar Bihar Chief Minister also not deserving person in any way? If the BJP and Congress realizes this sooner the better .For us who ever respect our God we have to respect him. Did the BJP did not also lost bitterly when they where expecting to do 2nd time wonder under Atal Bihari Bajpayji.Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is living God and God of miracle and wonder come one and all to be beneficiary of his marvelous deeds.

And the responsible lies on us also to bring a short of understanding between both the groups being also the same race of Mughals I,e -Mongols that rule this country. Who made Tajmahal and Red Fort.As this country belongs to every one of us; this is our common legacy and must be maintained by all.This days the politics has become increasingly violent. Do you think those Peoples having black money in Swiss bank will keep mum before the election. they seems to plan to keep both the groups always to be in suspended animations so that they are never caught. Though both the Congress and BJP have been harming the Christian cause at one point or other, and also they never meant what they say. The BJP seeing the Hindu interests and the Congress busy with minting money and God despised both form.but Christian duty is to rectify them and also being a common friend my personal responsibility as well to warn them. Why not God be given one chance by this both power obsessive parties before this Country become Kurukchetra.

                                    Honestly this is not with a vested interest that all acknowledge me, and give me no first attack status and to my party that I am writing this .But today definitely Country needs a highest form of repentance even by the political leaders. Definitely this was not the politics which great Gandhi and Nehru also may have envisaged. today they may have felt suffocated and died. And even the leaders are you enjoying this suspended animation? Only other day I wrote to Rahul Gandhiji why he don`t become a missionary leaving India to God.He will take care of everything. Do Gandhis have to prove anything more?And so is the BJP leaders as they also seems to be slave of their ideology. We need a new place far from madding crowd to discuss our problem. And where else better place than in my home town to show Country like china that the State is under us. Besides in the right occasions my Civil Society members may also come to bless this dream for prosperous India.

A honorable solution may be need of hour, before both of party finishes out of hatred . Today see in the U.P Politics the semi final of the Lokh Sabha elections, many of the publics may get mad, due to sleepless night by the parties campaigning for each other like never before.As this is going to decide the future of the Country. One party may doom this way that way.Even the Gandhi family who have also done everything in life, having nothing left to show in regard to their potentialities and capabilities. Why not finally give in to a system that is transparent like the United State of America President direct election for the president post and like to P.M.post as some demands .As from some corner still suspicion seems to come that govt. is also hiding something regarding Swiss bank issues and trying to play smartly this topics again and agin .In the FDI issue I have my personal support as poor farmers in my place are also living from hand to mouth.

                                       As the manipulation by brokers are clear.But this should not be used to stop the Jan Lok Pal Bill , Citizen Charters Bill etc. timing definitely seems to be wrong. Even the Peoples representation Act disallowing the non graduates should be passed by the Congress led UPA.After all this is the party which have spoiled the test of the publics to great extent. So much so that they may fear to change their image now, but God`s will has to be respected nowadays he seems to be instrumental in bringing Arab spring and similar revolution everywhere .The progeny of the Gandhi family are expected to be more sacrificing as though Congress has successfully branded BJP as communal .But BJP has also shown Congress as corrupted .And the publics has all the right to ask ultimately who is the Queen Bee getting the ultimate benefit. As price rise and corruption have become the hardest part for the Publics.

Also the BJP filled with the locals who have every right to be sentimental, how long they may be denied from testing the power ones. The best way for a honorable reconciliation can be national Govt. where both the party first time meet together to form the Govt. unitedly.Remember than only may be important laws can be passed and than only some black sheeps can be removed . And the good will for this sacrifice can be started by both the big national party by helping in evolution of the minority right in my 29th Assembly constituency Basar West siang Dist.Arunachal Pradesh, as this may be beginning of a new chapter for the modern India.Why not we can write the modern magna carta of the political history of India after discussion with brutal honesty after lots of introspection to make this Country great.

                                                As the congress tall claims of minority rights also seems to be meaningless in my place as my Christians have been persecuted for long here, as we want to pray the lord and savior to solve the catena of issues like our own and other pressing issues of country like –price rise ,supply of power and surplus food supply which we may can do- due to abundant water here and chinese threat etc.Here with the Gods mercy we may play a good positive role being close to all, but does our leaders have time for this besides their egoism? Time and again my State has been used by both the party, now may be time to reach the least and the poor as God commands if the national party feels it so.As for long parties have run after magic figure and played number games may be time to go to the God`s loved ones this time.



THE CHINESE THREAT IS THERE WAY OUT :-


                                The Chinese threat is not so real as they are made out to be as both are super powers and responsible countries. And know each others capabilities ,and lately Pakistanis friendly move also should remove that doubts. After all China is a business doing country and must be seeing more towards increasing its business interests. But there is definitely rumors doing the round and the Govt. has to clarify it.But above all the need of time is a practical approach and one hell of a capable peace maker.

If we cannot fight the system better to make friendship with it,both India and China Govt.need to know it , right now both seems to be not clear about its strategy in dealing with each others . And more the Chinese threat is - The Country may have to be now more near to the Americans who have lately made a miniature Drone plane bomb which is creating havoc in the Taliban turfs in Afganistan.But the weapons have also limitations ,the best course is mutual trusts that can be only increased by increasing interactions .I am writing this article being a responsible Christian Leader being Adviser peace and justice Dept. CBCNI and a loyal country man .And a friend of China believing in power of Jesus Christ in doing unbelievable miracle.As many Chinese and Americans also seems to read this article I am writing this so that a solution comes atleast a discussion in this direction begins .As it is misnomer to thing that highly discipline PLA armies have no family to cry their loss.

And may be the CIA and PLA should observe this at least as good academic discussion , after all best and the most successful war is won without waging it . First of all I hope Nehruji name should not come for betraying the nation for giving free hands to Chinese from next year as the peace agreement between two countries is said to be finished by than.The geographical nature of the State like A.P makes it more plausible for coming to a short of understanding with the Chinese. As this may benefit both the border areas of the china and India both being far away from their capital .As this days the China desperately need the more supply of maize and Soya been crops, which Arunachal Pradesh and North East State of the India bordering China , can supply to their hearts content. Therefore opening border trade as first time peace initiative may be appreciate by locals and benefit both.it is pertinent to mention that already India and China have fought 1962 war over Arunachal Pradesh part of the North east region of India.

Thus today People to people contract may have to be encouraged as communication gap creates lots of distrusts .And Chinese policy reciprocated like no staple visa for Arunachalee in China with same to Chinese visitors in Arunachal Pradesh.The Publics voice that it wants to remain in India is more than enough. But they equally wants mutual benefits, peace and cultural ties with the China which are of same Mongolian stock. As the Indo Tibetan Mongolians as we are somewhere our roots are also in China mainland. Today Arunachal Publics know that it is best for them to stay in India only.This case is different from other State like JNK and Nagaland as it will be for Countries interest if the border trade is opened up. Hunger and poverty is the main reason for rise of ULFA and other outfits, therefore this new policy should help us.



The people of the Arunachal are very much part and partial of the India but the ground reality is with it nearness more to Lhasa than Delhi this cultural ties arrangement with China may be more practical. Today we need to grow up, as we have super power image and must leave our previous emotional and small views. By the brotherhoodness through cultural ties the Chinese and Indians may be bring more near to each other through an Arunachalee who is loved and respected by both; after all the main irritating issue for China only seems to be His Holiness Daley Lama case. They seems to see American hand in mocking them by pampering him.The China also could not be blamed for historical mistakes if any. The Indian Country man will be mistaken if they think that all of the Tibetans are Buddhists and every one there are up against the Chinese.

As a matter of fact majority of the Serb community who were none Tibetans are said to have invited communism and even being given autonomous later on by the Chinese Govt.And most of them are said to be more than happy with liberation from Daley Lamas rule. As the fact is also that there is too much stakes in the Hydropower sector in State of Arunachal Pradesh and the investors may be also confused after Dragons are not silenced by gun or love.Thus opening up of a border trade may be a good beginning. It is better to expose an issue than to hide it.Let Arunachal be a place for all the super powers to work in mutual respect and mutual benefit .

As per the local Arunachalee going by the Old records the Peoples Liberation Army should be more sympathetic to the locals, but the danger cannot be undermined if the war escalates. One was even saying this will be a good pretext to finish the monopoly of outside traders who may just run away for good. I fervently pray to God that the good senses should finally prevail on both the neighbors. And this time I appreciate the move by the APSU to visit Chinese Embassy in new Delhi even against some critics reservations. The Chinese bashing is not going to solve the problem as they may see us as an ant . The national party like BJP and Cong have certain limitations in maintaining a friendly agenda with the mighty neighbor. But for the sake of the future Publics peace and tranquility Chinese friendship seems to be need of hour. Why all the state will suffer for few Tibetan`s, critics opine? They also need to accept this place as their only home and distract themselves from old hangovers of being chased by Chinese as today they got better place.

Thus before a new political party completely siding with the China evolve , why not support our own regional party which can maintain an equi-distance from both forms of vested interests, this idea is doing the round in the present situation. And when we see who is better enemy for the Country it is seen that Chinese are much better than Pakistanis. The great Chinese has to be appreciated that they have never played cheap politics like contaminating river waters flowing through A.P.like Satlaj river by Pakistan with toxic nuclear waste.

This shows their sincerity and responsibility though they are in vintage position to harm our interests. In 1962 wars also they were said to be treating the locals with utmost respect. Whereas our own soldiers are said to have given unnecessary harassment ,even raping women’s where heard. Though People were so much uneducated at that time , and it might not have been documented .But after war also so many rape cases were reported to locals this is really surprising. You can’t expect the loyalty to the country by continuing with this activity. Henceforth any of this incidents has to be dealt with utmost seriousness.

So friendship with Dragons- is it not a better option in this global era? As for the Christian missionaries it will be definitely a better option to do mission work their also.After gospel of truth and salvation is spread their who knows one day they will also be a democratic country. Thus the best course for both the country even Americans will be to think upon a more lasting solution, which is practical and don’t hurt the self respect of others . As for this only way for reaching mighty China to interact with them is possible through the State of Arunachal Pradesh which is the key to corridor of mainland china.May God bless this peace initiatives is president of America hearing.
