We can easily create a support system for the needy in our community. I am from Ernakulam, Kerala, we have a sewa bharati and RSS shakha managed orphanage at Alwaye. They crowd fund medical treatment and support for higher education for eco weaker students.Vikas wrote:We Hindus are part of the conversion problem.
From my personal knowledge:
Girl X : Father, A Telgu Hindu, Mother, A Marathi Muslim.
Both families disown them when they got married.
Father passed away few years back.
Girl X who is a practicing Hindu marries a Hindu guy but gets divorced (Husband abandons her)and has a 6 year old special needs Son. Now is in financial stress. Fathers family refuses to entertain any request for financial help despite ancestral property. Mothers family is willing to help if X converts to Islam and marries a distant maternal cousin. X was crying while narrating this story to me as she is a big Ganapati devotee and doesn't want to convert.
Girl X's sister who was a in a similar predicament 2 years back got converted , married a Muslim guy and became his 2nd wife. Marriage was solemnized by mothers brother who runs a tailoring boutique.
A middle aged widow had lost her house in Kuttanad area (in 2018 floods) and the local cpim was not helping at all. We met her through one of our relatives at Kuttanad.Within a week after we had informed Sewa Bharati, they came to the aid of the woman and she was provided alternate accomodation till the house construction was completed.
These people have done a great work in Kalady Manjapra perumbavoor belt during the 2018 floods.
Most of the members and donors are from lower middle class background.
