Hazaribagh: Around 120 people from 67 families ‘returned’ from Christianity to Hinduism in Barka Khurd Panchayat, Ichak block, Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand on Tuesday. They were converted to Christianity a few months ago by Christian missionaries.
An event was organized by Sanatan Samaj at the Shiv temple in Barka Khurd, Jharkhand, where those who returned to Hinduism were welcomed with a foot-washing ceremony amid chants of “Om.”
Most of the families who returned to Hinduism are Dalits, with a significant number of women among them.
Acharya Pushpa Shastri of Arsh Kanya Gurukul, along with 20 girls performed the rituals for their return to Sanatan Dharma. All participants took part in the collective rituals locally called ‘aachman’ and ‘Yajnopaveet’.
Many women who returned to Hinduism said that they were initially invited to satsang and then in the pretext of discussing Shiv Charcha were made to discuss Jesus Christ. They were also paid for this.
