Around 200 people were reconverted
to Hinduism in the presence of Union Minister of State for Forest Dilip
Singh Judeo at Parswani village in Mahasamund district today.
The 200 persons belonging to 51
families, spread over 12 villages, were reconverted at a "ghar wapsi" programme
organised by the Dharma Jagaran Parishad, official sources from Mahasamund
said.
The feet of about 30 people were
washed by the organisers before the programme had to be winded up due to
rain, they said.
Exhorting the people to work for
the protection of Hinduism, Judeo said Hindu Dharma was in danger due to
conversions, which had reduced Hindus to minority in six States.
