The report about the matter from Dainik Jagran is absolutely shocking. It shares that in just last 2 years in Punjab, more than 3 lakh 50 thousand people have converted their religion and become Christians. According to the reports, in Punjab, only in the year 2023-24, 1.5 lakh people converted, while during 2024-25, two lakh people changed their religion.
It is even more shocking when the increasing number of converted people is seen with reference to the other states. As per the report about Tarn Taran, in the last 10 years, the population of the Christian community has increased from 6,137 to 12,436, i.e. there has been an increase of 102 percent in last ten years. Similarly, if we talk about Gurdaspur district, the population of Christian community has increased by more than 4 lakh in the last 5 years.
How Christian pastors target Sikhs in Punjab
Although Christian missionaries are reaching all remote areas of the country and targeting poor and helpless people, Punjab is a cause of special concern, because the game of conversion by them is going on openly here. In Punjab, healing meetings are being held openly by these missionaries. Programs of such pastors are organized who claim to give life to dead people by blowing air on them. Following these misleading acts, Sikhs are asked to adopt Christianity.
An old report had revealed that the influence of these missionaries is prevalent across Punjab, from Patiala to Pathankot. Christian missionaries are now popular in all the 23 districts of the state, and are continuously expanding their empire. To make inroads among the Sikhs, people wearing turbans are seen in those meetings so that the common Sikhs feel that the people organising these meetings are no different.
