J. Annavaram, a village bordering the agency area in Yeleswaram Mandal, Kakinada District, is facing severe challenges from religious conversions . It is alarming that in this village of 1300 families, nearly 500 families have undergone religious conversion. Symbolizing these conversions, 8 illegally constructed churches stand in the village.

Among the 300 Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) families living in J. Annavaram, only 40 ST families and 5 SC families remain Hindu, clearly indicating the gravity of the situation. Religious conversions are not only a numerical issue but also disrupt social unity, creating a sensitive atmosphere in the village. The Hindu community here is in a dire situation, needing to strive hard to protect its identity and culture.

It is in such a complex and challenging environment that the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has stepped in to wage a Dharmic fight. We are continuously working to protect Hindu Dharma, prevent religious conversions, and bring awareness to the Hindu community. The activities in J. Annavaram village are being led by Sri Ramakrishna, a GHHF activist and in-charge for North Andhra and Godavari districts.

GHHF activists are thoroughly understanding the local conditions and the challenges faced, and are pursuing legal action against the illegally constructed churches. This legal battle is not just for a legal victory but also contributes to preventing the recurrence of such incidents in the future. Furthermore, through this initiative, the organization is educating local Hindu youth about their Dharma and culture. By awakening the youth, we are fostering self-confidence and commitment towards Dharma protection, thereby passing on the responsibility of preserving Hindu Dharma to future generations.

This initiative undertaken by GHHF in J. Annavaram serves as an inspiring example for other regions affected by religious conversions. GHHF strongly asserts through these actions that even in adverse circumstances, by standing firm and fighting legally and righteously, the Hindu community can protect its identity. The environment in which the organization works often involves severe resistance, misconceptions, and criticism from certain sections. Nevertheless, GHHF continues its selfless activities with the primary goal of preserving Hindu Dharma.

With all your cooperation, we can successfully conduct many more such programs across the country and further strengthen Hindu Dharma.
