Anju Panta is one of the biggest stars in the country is making headlines in her country, not for her talents or skills, but because of her religious conversion to Christianity. Attacks in the media and critics are widespread as she bowed out of performing at a Hindu festival.“My faith does not allow me to worship gods through song,” Panta said. She only responded to critics saying that “I have nothing to say to those who are criticizing me. May be it’s God’s plan and now I’m under the grace of God”.The Asia Times article details how Panta married artist Manoj Raj Siwakoti, another popular singer in Nepal, in 2002. “The two have a daughter, but their marriage did not work: after the separation, about a year ago, her journey of self-discovery resulted in her conversion to Christianity. Her career is studded with success: in December 2009, during the thirteenth edition of Close Up Hits FM Music Award, she won almost all the awards including “Best Singer” and “Best Song of the Year.” Her hits “Nabirse Timilai” is one of the most popular nationwide.”Christianity has changed everything, including her songwriting. “Jaba Ma Prabhuko Bhayar Jiuna Thale Nirasama Shanti Paya” is about the beginning of the new life in Christ and the peace that the Lord has given her in the storm. Because of her religious beliefs, on September 4 she refused to sing at a Hindu festival: “My faith does not allow me to worship the Hindu deity through song. Moreover, in those days I was not well. Though I was offered a large amount of money, I declined the engagement.”.“This decision has unleashed the fury of radical Hindu groups, but also the admiration of the Christian community,” The Sept. 22 article states.In Nepal, over 80% of the 26.6 million citizens are Hindi and less than half a percent of Christian, with just over 7,000 being Catholic. -
