Bala Manikandan, a 13 year old Hindu boy, was poisoned by a Christian woman, Sahayarani Victoria because he outperformed her daughter in academics and extracurricular activities. The woman had mixed rat poison with soft drinks to deceive the boy. Medical science could not be save Mandikandan.
Bala Manikandan, was a student of standard 8 at a private school in Karaikal, Puducherry. Reportedly, he was an excellent and continued to outperform everyone in class. rul Mary, his classmate who came second in exams, is said to have been bitter about it and cribbed to her mother.
The incident took place on 3 September, when Manikandan was rehearsing for the upcoming annual day events, the watchman gave him 2 soft drink bottles. After consuming it, Manikandan felt uncomfortable but didn’t think much of it. He started feeling faint and nauseous upon returning home in the afternoon. As he became ill his parents took him to the hospital. But the situation worsened even after taking medicine.
Manikandan was taken to the hospital again and there, they figured that something wrong was consumed. When asked about it Manikandan said that the watchman gave it to him, saying his mother sent it for him. His mother was confused as she hadn’t sent anything for the boy. When they called the school and inquired, the watchman said that a woman claiming to be a relative of Manikandan said that his mother asked her to give the soft drink bottles to him.
When the school management checked the CCTV footage, it was known that it was Manikandan’s rival Arul Mary’s mother Sahayarani Victoria, who gave the drinks. Arul Mary was upset that Manikandan outperformed her in everything and shared it with her mother. Victoria, enraged that the boy defeated her daughter, spiked the drinks with rat poison to get rid of him.
The doctrine of such hatred, is being circulated by a pastor advising small kids to “strike the enemies even if it is a father, mother, brother or sister” to protect the “house of god” from being spoiled. Ina video, the pastor in the video is Sadhu Selvaraj, a rabid Hindu hater who also peddled lies about Covid-19 vaccines to discourage his followers from taking them. He said that the vaccines are infested with Satan. Christian children are fed with such lies and hatred towards non-believers and encouraged to even get violent as evident from the above video.
Non-believers are treated as ‘misguided sheep’ who will eventually come to their fold even by the ‘moderate Christians’. When passed down to their children, such a mentality will only make them consider and treat Hindu kids inferior.
This explains the hatred of a young girl child and her mother, to the extent that the child was murdered.
