    • The historic district of Kanyakumari in the state of Tamil Nadu is now the center of another struggle by the Hindus against the combined might of the Communist- Islamic- Christian cabal in power both in the state of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

      In this instance the Hindu villagers  are locked in a non violent battle against the police who as in every other case, are on the side of whichever cabal is in power. Here, in the village of  Athikaatuvillai  ,    the residents have for centuries taken out a procession for the Goddess Kanyakumari (an avatar of Parvathi) following a certain route. The small Christian population there  are now  opposing this  by claiming that the lane is private property and that it belongs to the Church. The lane is part of public land (the Panchayat) and the signboards say so quite clearly.

      Neverthless, the Christians have decided to be obdurate. The Hindus took out the procession with women very much in the forefront, since the Goddess is their special deity. Photographs show the brutality of the police, with one graphic picture of a bleeding head. Women were also beaten up. This can be viewed in  short videos, especially the last of the series of  four . (See the current issue of Haindava Keralam, ‘ The Agony of Hindus in Kanyakumari ‘ ).

      This incident is not particularly surprising since the Christian Church in India has become emboldened  by  the fact that an Italian Catholic is at the centre of power in New Delhi
