Mother Teresa NGO
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
The Mother Teresa -founded Missionaries of Charity’s application for renewal of license to receive funds from donors abroad was turned down by the Government of India (GOI). Susri Mamata Banerjee Chief Minister of West Bengal faults the GOI for this act. It is good to know the true facts about Mother Teresa transformed from “Living Saint to Saint” in the shortest time in the history of the Popes elevating a Christian to Saint-hood .
2. Intrigued and surprised by the tributes paid to Mother Teresa and the speed with which she was getting beatified and canonised Dr Aroup Chatterjee, a Calcutta based doctor researched her life and activities and found that she was not a saintly person and that her motives and actions for charity are primarily to convert the destitutes, especially those in Calcutta to Christianity. His findings including testimonies he gave before those who are beatifying and canonizing her are recorded in his book, “Mother Teresa : The Untold Story” published in 2016 by Prakash Books India Pvt Ltd.
3. Mother Teresa not only accepted foreign monies from reputable sources but even from criminals, fraudsters and terrible evil doers . She even wrote to a Governor of a State in United States to free a criminal from jail , the criminal who gave a huge donation to her. Convinced that the Saint-hood to be conferred on Mother Teresa was wrong Dr Chatterjee appeared before the prescribed Board carrying out the beatification and canonization procedure . His testimony against Mother Teresa’s canonization is recorded in Chapter -14, “ From Living Saint To Saint”.
4. Dr Aroup Chatterjee was born and brought up in Calcutta . He emigrated to UK and worked as a physician in London. While in Calcutta, he read all the eulogies for Mother Teresa . When he went and lived in London he was appalled at the Teresan mythology. He researched Mother Teresa and her activities for over 25 years. He is the world’s foremost authority on the late Nun. He appeared numerous times on BBC and other world media to discuss this subject. It is my humble submission that those who are still believing in the legend of Mother Teresa and her charity should read this book, “Mother Teresa : The Untold Story”.
5. The monies that are coming from abroad to various Christian- founded and managed charitable institutions are mainly used for converting the beneficiaries of the charities. And the conversions are total fraud because the converted are instructed not to disclose the fact of conversion to any government record like the census. That is the reason for the percentage of Christians in India’s population from 1951 till today as recorded in the census after census has been remaining at 2.3% despite the humongous efforts and monies spent for evangelization and conversion . In fact, in the two Telugu states the fraud is too obvious. The percentage of the Christians as recorded in the census is given in the table below.

6. Further, during the COVID period the GOAP invited applications from Priests working in places of worship. 29,841 Pastors, 31,017 Archakas and 7000 Imams/Muezzins applied for this welfare payout. This shows that there are nearly as many Pastors as Archakas ! It works out to one Pastor for 37 Christians and one Archaka for 3686 Hindus. The real population of Christians in AP seems to be 15% – 20% ; most MLAs , MPs , elected members of local bodies from constituencies reserved for SCs are converts to Christianity with fake SC Hindu caste certificates. The per capita spend in shelter homes for the destitutes by Christian organisations in AP was found to be several times more than that in government run shelter homes. The inflated spend is to cover up the diversion of funds for conversion. In the light of these facts the decision of GOI not to renew the permission to Missionaries of Charity’s to receive foreign funds is right. (658 words)
