I, Athira - A book that should be read by every Hindu.
This book has been written by one of the most debated young women in Kerala in 2017. On 10th July 2017, Athira S, a resident of Udma in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, left her home, leaving behind a 22-page letter for her parents. Her sudden disappearance attracted significant media attention. Seventeen days later, on 27th July, Athira, who had by then converted to Islam and adopted the name Ayesha, appeared on a TV news channel wearing a Hijab and publicly declared her stance.
When presented in court at Hosdurg and later in the Kerala High Court, Athira firmly expressed her desire to live according to Islam. A police officer who read the letter she had written to her parents, urging them to accept Islam, admitted that he too felt persuaded by its contents and considered converting.
Initially, Athira was deeply entrenched in her fanatical beliefs about Islam, but through a series of debates, discussions, and Q&A sessions at Aarsha Vidya Samajam, she came to realize her mistakes. On her birthday on 21st September 2017, Athira, now convinced of the greatness of Sanathana Dharma through the Adhyatmika Sastram course, publicly announced her return from Islam. Seated alongside her parents at a press conference, she explained in detail why she had chosen to renounce Islam and her identity as Ayesha. This revelation was a blow to the radical forces involved in religious conversions, as it challenged their narrative and their efforts to radicalize Hindus, inducing them to share their testimonies and organising them through the “Vilakkmadam” group.
Athira’s bold decision and rationale for leaving Islam sparked immediate outrage from the religious conversion forces. Within 48 hours, more than 50 Islamic scholars and followers issued statements in opposition to her. The impact of this 23-year-old’s words was so powerful that it provoked reactions from the likes of O Abdullah and MM Akbar, revealing just how disruptive her views had become in the ongoing debates around religious conversion and radicalization in Kerala.
Athira empowered Hindu society to effectively counter the criticisms against Hindu Dharma that had long been propagated by organized religions with little opposition. Realizing that Aarsha Vidya Samajam had helped over 8,000 people return to Sanathana Dharma after being manipulated, brainwashed, or coerced into conversion, these forces united with a determined effort to "bulldoze" the institution by any means necessary. This led to a massive conspiracy by the conversion forces and Jihadis, who recognized Aarsha Vidya Samajam as a serious threat to their long-standing agenda of Islamization. As is often the case, many individuals with Hindu names betrayed the cause, acting as spies and traitors, much like Judas and Shakuni, deceiving and undermining the effort.
O Abdullah, the former editor of Madhyamam, who joined the debate on Janam TV immediately after Athira’s press conference was aired live, falsely claimed that Athira had been "tortured" into returning to Hindu Dharma. This Jamaat-e-Islami leader, who disparaged Hinduism as a primitive religion, referred to Athira’s return as a "Ghar Wapsi". An Islamic leader made a chilling statement: "They want to shut down Satyasarani and continue operating Aarsha Vidya Samajam. Let them. Then we will do to them what we did long ago to a pastor who called for the burning of the Quran."
Soon after, Jihadis and channels like Media One began a relentless campaign against Aarsha Vidya Samajam. The days that followed were marked by false accusations, propaganda, and media trials. Rumors circulated that force and coercion had been used to bring Athira back to Hindu Dharma. Despite Athira and her father’s attempts to clarify the situation through interviews and explanations, as well as Athira’s own speech at the inauguration of Aarsha Vidya Samajam’s activities in Thiruvananthapuram, their voices were ignored. In the face of these challenges, Athira's resolve only grew stronger. Finally, at the onset of the Malayalam month of Karkkidakam, also known as the Ramayana month, Athira announced her decision to become a Sanathana Dharma Pracharika with Aarsha Vidya Samajam.
This book also serves as a response to the relentless propaganda waged against her. It provides a candid portrayal of her journey from Ayesha to Athira, shedding light on the struggles and transformation she experienced. The driving force behind this book is the unwavering resolve that no one else should have to endure the same dark paths, nor should any other parents experience the immense mental anguish her parents suffered. At its core, this book is motivated by a mission to safeguard our people and our nation by confronting and dismantling the root causes of Jihadi terrorism, which seeks to harm innocents and slaughter people in the name of religious fanaticism.
