National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights is a Christian missionary organization headed by Paul Divakar in Secuderbad, India, claiming to work among the Dalits, but has been known for spreading communalism, the stereotyping and scapegoating of non-Christian religions and forced conversions to Christianity in India[1]. Their manifesto declares that they mean to fight Casteism and discrimination in countries where they allege that such things are prevalent, such as India,Bangladesh,Burkina Faso,Japan (see Burakumin), Pakistan, Senegal, Rwanda and Sri Lanka[1]. Their website states:
The present time is an historic moment, not only for Dalits, but for all those committed to basic human rights and principles of justice, equality, liberty, fraternity. India, a rising star and increasingly important player on the world stage, must not be allowed to ignore the injustice and oppression within its own borders any longer. Together, we must unite, nationally and internationally, to force the Indian government to rise above an entrenched caste-mentality and to properly enforce its laws, implement its policies, and fulfill its responsibility to protect the basic human rights of ALL of its citizens.
Their publications feature anti-Hindu articles attacking Hindus, allegedly with revisionism and propaganda as tactics, in order to stereotype and scapegoat Hindus and facilitate their forced conversions to Christianity. They feature articles and endorsements by well known anti-Hindu, anti-Semite and holocaust denier VT Rajshekhar[3], who alleges that all Hindus are "Nazi"s and should consequently be exterminated[2] and that Hindus and Jews are engaged in a systematic conspiracy to take over the world[3]. The NCDHR website shares the same domain with Rajshekhar's website Dalit Voice, which espouses anti-Hindu and antisemitic conspiracy theories and denies the holocaust
It is a partner of the Christian-Aid organization.
