    I am pastor of Anugraha Bijaya Church and chief utive officer and founder of BG Hands Ministries. The ministry focuses to work among Dalit. It is taking good news to the community publishing gospel tract which is relevant to this community. It is also doing radio program and giving opportunity to start micro business to this group of people. And we have monthly prayer meeting on the issue of Dalit. We pray for Dalit people that they get opportunity to hear gospel and receive Christ. We pray for their education,economic situation to increase, for the elimination of discrimination upon them, and for their rights as a human being. We hope to work more than that in His grace. I praise your work what you are doing there and hope to do same here in Nepal. We extend the hands of partnership and cooperation. Let us work together to bring His Kingdom. We will be praying for you. May God bless you

    This article reveals the truth - even in christianity and islam there are class / caste/ sub-caste system. So far I was thinking only in Hindu religion caste system exists? I fail to understand who gave permission to include the photo of Shri Brahmashree Guru Narayanaswamy in their banner. Shri Guru swamy, opposed caste system throughout his life. His slogan one caste, one religion is well known. It is disgusting that some people want to include this saint's name to mislead people.
