Expansion
Nepal’s Madhesi conversion model is now being adopted in Awadh region. Christian missionaries have been entrusted with the responsibility of religious conversion as well as changing the voting pattern. This strategy which was successful in Madhesh can be tried here in the upcoming elections. Sitapur, Barabanki, Bahraich, Shravasti, Sultanpur and Ambedkar Nagar are also not untouched by the activism of missionaries. Balrampur, Shravasti and Bahraich are in bad condition.

In the report sent to the Union Home Ministry, security agencies have warned about the changed methods of the missionaries. The activities of a famous publishing house of Lucknow have been described as suspicious. Another important change has been shown that the responsibility of religious conversion has been entrusted to Korean pastors, who remain a strong link to Bangalore, Jalandhar in Punjab and Kerala. The funds received from Brazil, America and South Korea are being spent. The target of Christian missionaries for religious conversion is the poor, helpless, Dalit, border Tharu tribe and Rai Sikh community. They have been most involved in the cases of religious conversion that came to light in the Awadh region.
glorification of healing
The experiences of Sitapur were first Hindu. Two years ago he converted to Christianity. He says that after reading the Bible there was a massive change in his life. Financial situation improved. Health also started improving. This miracle made him a Christian. Similar is the story of Suresh of Ayodhya area. These are Christians who have converted in recent years after claiming to have received miraculous healings.
Religion is changing, not name.
Pastor Danville, arrested on charges of religious conversion in Sitapur, says that we emphasize on change of heart rather than religious conversion. Our followers remain Hindu on document. Even after conversion they do not change their name. Due to this he does not get cut off from his society. But gradually they become devotees of Jesus Christ. In this way, they do not need to declare their religious conversion and are also saved from legal action.
women changed their attire
The dress of men from families who convert is normal. But there is a widespread change among women. She has also given up wearing vermilion along with bangles and bindi as a sign of good luck.
