Organiser's Article on Robert de Nobili Sparks Controversy Amid Calls for Christian Property Probe

A recent article published in the Organiser has sparked controversy with its critical portrayal of Robert de Nobili, a 17th-century Jesuit missionary, amid ongoing debates about Christian properties in India.

The article's release comes just a day after the publication called for Prime Minister Modi to investigate Christian properties following the passage of the Waqf Bill.

The article's sensationalized headline and biased narrative have raised concerns about the publication's journalistic integrity and its approach to historical storytelling. It is a masterclass in manipulative storytelling, cherry-picking historical facts to fit a preconceived narrative.

The article reduces the complex and nuanced process of evangelization to a simplistic narrative of "tricking" Hindus into accepting Christianity. This approach neglects the genuine efforts of missionaries like Robert de Nobili, who sought to understand and engage with Hinduism in a spirit of dialogue and mutual respect.

This piece is a textbook example of how to distort history to serve a particular agenda.

The article's author has selectively chosen historical events to create a misleading narrative about de Nobili's missionary work. They ignore the complexities of his interactions with Hinduism, instead opting for a simplistic tale of deception.

The article fails to provide adequate historical context, neglecting to mention the significant contributions de Nobili made to Indian society. His efforts to learn from and engage with Hinduism were part of a broader tradition of interfaith dialogue and cooperation.

The article's publication raises serious questions about the Organiser's editorial standards and the hidden agenda of the RSS. The fact that they would publish such a blatantly biased piece suggests a lack of commitment to journalistic integrity.

It's time to hold the Organiser accountable for their reckless and irresponsible journalism. Readers deserve better than to be fed a diet of misinformation and propaganda. The Organiser must take steps to restore trust and credibility with their audience.
