Why Hindu Saints Are Targeted for Defamation by Anti-Hindu Forces
The targeting and defamation of Hindu saints and leaders can stem from a variety of reasons, ranging from personal rivalries, political motives, controversies surrounding their actions or teachings, and even misunderstandings or misinterpretations of their beliefs or practices. This article aims to explore these reasons and provide insight into why Hindu saints are often targeted.
Conversion Mafias and the Danger of Guru Shishya Parampara
Hindu saints and leaders come from the ancient Guru Shishya Parampara (teacher-student tradition). For many conversion mafias or missionaries, these individuals represent a significant challenge. The real sanctity and authenticity of Guru Shishya Parampara can undermine their efforts to evangelize and convert followers.

In August 2016, during his tenure, he resolved a significant conflict between two communities in Pazhangallikkadu near Vedaranyam. SC/ST communities were previously excluded from temples and religious rituals. This conflict was exploited by anti-Hindu forces who created a rift and encouraged conversions.
