Is Kandhamal Burning ? I Visited Kandhamal District on the 31St Jan and 1St Feb 2009 to Find out for Myself Is Kandhamal Burning ? I visited Kandhamal district on the 31st Jan and 1st Feb 2009 to find out for myself. Join me in this quest and find out the answer for yourselves.. Kandhamal is one of the districts in Orissa, 200Kms away from the capital Bhubaneswar and 160 Kms from Berhampur THE CHRISTIAN POPULATION CNN-IBN reports. “The Christian population has now risen to one lakh eighty thousand from only 14 thousand in 1970s. The number of churches and prayer houses built in last few decades is over one thousand” (30.8.2008). Odisha.com reports “Most astonishing and mysterious thing is that as per the census 2001, there were 1,17,950 Christians” I found out during my visit that more than 1,50,000 Christians had lived there before the riots. Now less than 10,000 Christians Kandhamal district, Berhampur , Bhubaneswar live here. There are about 3000 Christians in the 3 Relief camps and rest of the Christians live in and around Raikia. From 1,50,000 to less than 10,000 . Where have the Christians gone? THE WAY IN Durga Prasad(Pic 1) The entrance to the Kalinga ghat (Kandhamal). This place was blocked during the riots so no one could get in or out (Pic 1) (Pic 2) (Pic 3) The National highway NH217(Pic 2) runs through this district I could see countless Christian houses, shops, churches ravaged and abandoned. Even today on this main road to Baliguda(where the nun was gang raped) through Raikia, G Udaigiri from Kalinga, I could see boulders(Pic 3) and trees strategically lying around which can be put in place to block and isolate Kandhamal from outside world in a matter of hours or even minutes. The pictures below will tell you the story Pics on the Highway 1,2 RC Church Neelungia, 3. House @ Lingagoda, 4. Shop at Mondakia, 5. House @ R a i k i a On the way to Raikia we crossed Kothingia village (the nerve center of attacks). It stood proudly untouched, with saffron flags flying atop every home, shops and trees. It looked so ominous, I was advised by my friends not to take any pictures. More than 7 Christians were slaughtered from the nearby Christian village . The Central and the State Government want to close the last of the three camps and send the CRPF back home. The first batch of CRPF has already left. The Government believes normalcy has returned ! Christians outside Orissa believe normalcy has returned which is evident from prayers for Kandhamal disappearing from our Intercessory, personal and family prayers. IF things are normal why have the Christians not been able to repair their shops, homes and churches even on the MAIN Road (NH217) ? Why are Christian property still in the same condition as it was 6 months ago ? If things are normal why was I not able to get down from the car and take pictures ? Why did the driver have to only stop in the pretext of buying sweets even to stop and look? All these pictures were taken on the 31st Jan 2009 and 1st Feb 2009 ! Has normalcy returned? Please decide for yourselves. I was based in Raikia, a town in Kandhamal dist. from where I ventured into the interiors on a Bike with friends who were familiar with the place. My first stop was at the Pesarama church about 1.5 Kms from Raikia Pics: 1.The devastated building 2. Suggesting immediate repairs 3. Keyboard, audio eqpt was burnt here When I was asked if this church could be repaired, I suggested a simple 20 minute operation immediately with an hacksaw blade which would isolate the hanging part and reduce stress on the beams and major repairs at later date. Such a suggestion can only come from someone naïve enough to believe that such a simple thing by Bangalore standards was possible there but a few minutes later I realized even that simple act was impossible because this is Kandhamal, a place that has to be cleansed of all Christians by 2010, no one was going to let any one repair a church let alone rebuild it. Pictures: Pastor Surjit and Suchetha Nayak’s house and other property belonging to Christians in that village vandalized and some razed to the ground As I moved from Raikia and traveled more than 150 Kms into the interior areas of Kandhamal it was a time for reality check. Every step into that place was screaming to me how we people outside this place have been blind to the horror because it is not in the news or on TV. Let me take you deeper into this place so that you can decide if everything is normal in the Kandhamal. The CHURCHES & PRAYER HALLS AT KANDHAMAL Kandhmal district is said to have more than 1000 churches and as I traversed through the 150 odd kms I saw so many desecrated. churches that I can claim that I have seen more broken churches in my lifetime than standing ones. Its hard for me to imagine that so many churches and prayer halls functioned in that district but the ruins tell me this was a place with more than 1000 churches Seeing so many crosses desecrated was painful after a point I became so numb I just could not get myself to capture more churches on film I saw only three churches untouched by the riots. Pictures of two are on the left. I saw one more in a village on the way to Mondasaru (this church was protected by Baptist Church Raikia the Hindus during the riots). There is one more Baptist Church(no picture) at Raikia which was not affected. Less than 5000 Christians worship openly now (as on 1/2/09) compared to the 1.5 Lakh plus Christians who worshiped openly pre August 2008. Its not about reconvertion ! Less than 500 RC Church Raikia have reconverted and most of them forced. Its not about broken churches ! Its because less than 10,000 Christians are living there now! CHRISTIAN HOMES & PROPERTY When I saw the ravaged homes there was one message that I got from the ruins, it was.... “Don't even THINK of returning” because “Don't come back” would be too mild I am just including only few pictures. No picture can really tell you what my eyes have seen or capture the viciousness and the ferocity of the attacks. The pictures you see are of homes which had people, who laughed, cried, prayed, ate and lived a decent life with some owning modern amenities like TV, fridge, alimarhs, cots, tractors etc. owning lands, poultry, piggery, cattle, business etc. Not all of them were as backward as we have pictured them to be. Yes some were poor but their life was improving compared to the Hindus. Close your eyes for a moment, just imagine a thousand people chanting, armed with choicest of weapons ranging for 4 foot swords, trishuls etc and banging at your door, imagine the sound as metal meets metal, The picture on the left will help you imagine. I am unable to share all the pictures here but as I went on a bike from Raikia to Dodinga to Masumaha to Totamaha, to Bakingia, Gondagadu, to Dambakia, Adaskupa to Telingia to Penalaha to Bodimunda, Daburia, Budamaha, Mondakia, Mokabali, Aloha, Gungivada, Papose to Mondasaru, all were connected by a single thread. Every Christian house devastated, burnt. Bibles, Christian literature, clothes, shoes, broken glass, pots, pans strewn all over the place. Some Rich, poor but all Christian houses have met the same fate. Families have been broken, children's education disrupted, businesses burnt, dreams smashed, lives altered forever. All because they chose to follow Jesus. From what I have seen, Christians returning to their homes is almost a near impossibility… What is the price to pay for being Christian I asked my self constantly.? I felt humbled as I walked in and out of every house with a urge to scream out in agony but I held that back but not my tears, silently I saluted these people. We entered the Godimuda village to see some of the Christian homes which were damaged. It was a Hindu village. On the main road we were accosted by some of the locals who told us “DON'T YOU KNOW CHRISTIANS ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO THIS VILLAGE, DON'T ENTER THE NEXT ROAD, DON'T COME HERE AND THINGS WONT BE NICE NEXT TIME” Though I did not understand Kui language, from the body language, the dress they were wearing (Saffron T shirt, Yellow Dothi and a locket which had the picture of the Swami) I got the message. At that moment I realized that Christians going back to any village is a long, long way off except a miracle happens. Only a miracle can change that hatred and the animosity and it is for that miracle we have to pray earnestly. In this hopeless scenario only prayer can change things. We thanked God and left that place in a great hurry before something ugly happened. In fact I was taken to places which were considered safe and yet I came across this. I cant imagine what would have happened if we had stepped into an “ unsafe village”... Can you consider the place to be normal that even a visit to an inhabited village (All Christians villages are empty) evokes such a response? THE VILLAGES Some Christian villages had upto 300 families or more I am told. Now all have gone, it is completely deserted and a deafening silence greets you in these Christian villages.
