Demise of Warrior Monk Rama Gopalan
Demise of
Warrior Monk Rama Gopalan
Born:
1927 - Died: 30-09-2020 at the age of 94
Born in 1927
at Sirkazhi, Mr. Gopalan joined the RSS in 1945.
He founded
the Hindu Munnani in 1980 under the guidance of the RSS.
Following
the Meenakshipuram conversions of Hindus
in February 1981, in which around 200 Dalit families of the village converted
to Islam as caste Hindus practiced untouchability, he tried to rally Hindus and
prevent such conversions.
Hindu
Munnani was formed to protect the religion from attacks by Islam, Christianity,
Communism and those claiming to be rationalists.
It is also
advising Hindus practicing untouchability and caste discrimination to give up
these obnoxious practices to save Hindu
religions from conversions.
In 1984, he
escaped a bid on his life at the Madurai railway station.
He was among
those instrumental in turning immersion processions of Vinayaka idols into a
public event in the last 30 years.
In 1993,
there were bomb attacks made on the R.S.S. state headquarters
at Chintadripet, Chennai. Islamic organizations were found guilty for
the blasts and a crackdown was launched on extremist Islamic organizations.
During the
visit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L. K.
Advani and Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to
Coimbatore in 1998, a series of thirteen blasts rocked the city, killing
over fifty-eight people. Hindu Munnani Members were stood solidly with the
victims of these attacks. Their Members also murdered by Muslim Fundamentalists
at many places at different times in Tamilnadu.
E-Touch pays
its homage to the saintly and courageous founder member of Hindu Munnani Ram
Gopalan with a wreath. We pray Almighty
for his departed soul to rest in Eternal Peace. We convey our heartfelt
condolences to all Members of Hindu Munnani and wish that the principles and
traditions of their founder Rama Gopalan are carried forward to protect our
Ancient Hindu Religion from assaults and conversions.
