There are pastors like Dr. P. Satish Kumar (founder of church called “Calvary Temple” at Hyderabad), who converts innocents with claims that he can speak to God. There are highly ranked bureaucrats like D. P. Haokip, Chief Income Tax Commissioner of IRS, who blatantly misuses his office to convert naive ones. And, there are business tycoon like Gul Kripalani, who openly announce “there is no other God than Jesus, who wants Lord (Jesus) to be Lord of India. Kriplani admitted this in his testimony of how he came to know of Jesus in a video clip shared by Mission Kali. 19 minutes video clip under the tag of testimony of Dr. Gul Kriplani is available in public domain.
Meet 76 year old Gul Kriplani—a persecuted Sindhi from Pakistan, who came to India to seek asylum during partition—grew to become seafood tycoon, and vice-president of the Seafood Exporters Association of India, also the President of the Rotary Club of Mumbai. Chairman and MD of Pijikay Group of Companies, Gul Kriplani doesn’t spread Christianity like a pastor by donning a robe. But, his method of spreading Christianity in India is almost identical. Forced conversions in India and then there is a subtle way of converting innocent Hindus.
Conversion starts with a typical sob story
- An evangelist—be it pastor, bureaucrats or business tycoon starts with a sob story of his life.
- Thereafter, he happens to meet a preacher or missionary, who is always available roaming on streets
- The preacher introduces him to God.
- Next, God start solving all his hardships.
Gul Kriplani, too started addressing the seminar with his early life story. Quite expectedly, a sob story, in which poor boy, Gul Kriplani was miserable to see his rich and privileged friends. He was going through all his hardships when, as usual, met a preacher who introduced him to Jesus. Next, Gul Kriplani discovered himself, when he had visited a Church.
After God entered into Gul Kriplani’s life, everything fell into place, as he preaches. It was not his talents and marketing strategies that he thought were behind the success of his business, but it was Jesus Christ who filled his nets with fishes,”Gul Kriplani told Pallavi Bhattacharya in an interview under the headline of “Christian businessmen must talk about Jesus,” as the headline suggests how Gul Kriplani is trying to spread Christianity.
Now, Gul Kriplani is stinking reach and powerful. How does he prevail upon unassuming people in order to convert them? He takes his 40 to 50 friends—from other faiths as he mentions—to Israel to introduce them to Jesus. He takes the entourage of his 40 to 50 friends to where Jesus was born, to where he was crucified, to where his body was laid to rest, he admitted this in the video clip. Also, he makes open invitation to people to join in his next trip to Israel. Who can afford to bear such huge expenses of 40-50 people touring to Israel? Only Gul Kriplani can bear such huge expenditure. One can imagine from where he is being funded.
There are some fascinating terminology of good work like uplifting poor people and women empowerment, which are awe inspiring to push the agenda of conversion. Kriplani family has been associated with Habitat for Humanity since 2004. Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization. Here, ecumenical means representing a number of different Christian Churches.
Can a human claim to raise a man from dead? American evangelist and faith-healer Benny Hinn, once in Africa, claimed to have raised a man from the dead. Gul Kriplani is the man, who spearheaded the year-long preparations of mega event “Praying For India” of Benny Hinn, who had come to Mumbai in February 2004.
3,00,000 leaflets—which targeted Hindus as followers of idol worship, prostitution, black magic etc and advised to accept Jesus as the only God—had been distributed in Bangalore in the month of January 2004 before Benny Hinn’s Program “Pray for India and Festival of Blessing.” When reporters questioned Gul Kriplani, he said he had no idea. But, his colleague, Paul Thangaiah admitted the pamphlet was not for public distribution, but for Church circulation and should have been distributed only to christians”. This is how an evangelist, Gul Kriplani, in garb of a business tycoon pushes his agenda through his so called good work.
When Gul Kriplani asserts that his purpose is to have 90% believers in this country and 10% yet to know, when he calls for Lord to become Lord of India, one wonders from where his self confidence is stemming. Above revelation is the tip of iceberg from Gul Kriplani’s agenda for conversion. A crypto Christian with Hindu name—which doesn’t raise eyebrows—is a perfect tool to penetrate the agenda of conversion. More than the system, it is Hindu society which must wake up to face the disturbing reality.

Gul Kripalani slapped me on Sunday 12th of January 2025.
He slapped me after Church Service at the All Saints Church CNI in Malabar Hill, Mumbai on or around 11:35am. He slapped me on my left cheek and broke my eyeglasses.
On the advice of my father and to be safe I went to lodge a complaint of assault at the Malabar Hill police station since this incident occurred at the All Saints Church in Malabar Hill Mumbai.
At the station, the police asked me who slapped me what his number was and where would he be at the present moment? They saw the wound on my left cheek. I provided them his name his phone number and that he may be still at the church. 2 PI’s told me to get into a cab and took me to the church.
At the church his wife Sheila Kripalani who is the Secretary of that Church was sitting outside on a bench talking on the phone. When the inspector approached her she handed him her phone. He told me later that it was the Director General of Police on the phone.
As a result of this influence Malabar Hill police did not lodge my assault complaint, and asked me for a bribe on that date.
Quite a few witnessed this incident, but none of them came forward since Mr Kripalani is a well known politically connected and powerful businessman.
Subsequent to an X post to @mumbaipolice PI Shinde informed me that the fir is ready for my review and signature.
After the church visit the PI’s and I returned to the station. Gul’s daughter’s Priyanka and Vandana from his second wife Sheila, also were speaking to the PI and gave him a paper with handwriting.
One PI stated that I deserved the slap because I was in a relationship with Gul’s daughter from his 1st marriage Caroline Hynniewta who is a UK Citizen and lives in Ashford, Kent.
I stated that the relationship was with mutual consent and that she came from London to Newark, NJ, US to visit me for Thanksgiving Nov 26 to Dec 1, 2024.
We started communicating on or around Sept 26, 24 after 24 years. She told me her marriage to Rimet Hynniewta was broken since 2017 when she had an affair and that they were only staying together for the kids sake.
She told me that she felt burdened by her office and home work and the 4 hour commute thrice a week. I asked her to take a break and come visit me.
During that trip we became close and told her parents about our intention to be together once we got divorced from our respective spouses.
We were both in Bombay and Goa in December 2024 and she came to meet me on 3 occasions against her father and stepmother’s wishes. She returned to London on January 2, 2025.
