Christian Subversion And Missionary Activities - 6

[Bharatvarsh2]

I was amused when about 10 years ago, I came across the Dalitstan web-site. Some

of the stuff on the web-site was so crude that I thought it was a joke. Now I

recall that the the proposed Dalitstan in the map is right in the middle of the

what is now called the red corridor.



I did not paid much attention to the California Textbook Trial when it was going

on, since disagreement on the interpretation of history not that uncommon. Until

I found out that the Dalit Freedom Network wasn't a group of Dalits but a high

powered organization.



I have come across numerous mentions of prestigious Paul Harrison award given to

Binayak Sen in 2004. This award is given annually by the Christian Medical

College in Vellore, India to its alumni.



But who was "Paul Harrison"? What is the criteria of the award? Who are past

winners of this award? Unfortunately the CMC Vellore site does not have a list

of the past winners.



Here is I found.



Who was Paul Harrison, after who the award is naed? Answer: "A renowned medical

missionary"



"Jacob Chandy, WHO passed away in 2007 at the age of 97, was born into a deeply

religious Christian family in Kerala, South India. After obtaining his medical

education at the Madras Medical College, Madras, he serendipitously came to work

with Dr Paul Harrison, Jacob Chandy, WHO passed away in 2007 at the age of 97,
