Yes, you read that right. The same gymkhana that’s known for being a playground for sports and culture has now been (allegedly) doubling as a hub for mass religious conversions. Ivan Rodrigues, it seems, had been booking the banquet hall for over a year—not for the usual birthday bashes or community events—but for his true calling: bringing Hindus into the missionary fold. It’s as if they couldn’t wait to get into every corner of Indian life, from cricket to clubhouses, armed with their Bible and promises of salvation.

The “Innocent” Banquet Hall Booking Jemimah Rodrigues
One has to hand it to Ivan Rodrigues for creativity. Booking the banquet hall under the pretense of social gatherings, he may have decided to try a “subtle” new approach to conversion. Why stop at the regular places of worship when you can bring your mission right into the heart of Mumbai’s elite social scene? After all, if you can play cricket and convert souls under the same roof, why not kill two birds with one stone?
The idea of missionaries quietly sneaking in their conversion campaigns right under everyone’s noses isn’t shocking anymore—it’s practically expected. But to imagine that Khar Gymkhana’s banquet hall would be the next “revival” hotspot? That’s a twist even Bollywood wouldn’t dare attempt.
The Gullible Hindu Target Jemimah Rodrigues
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the missionary obsession with the “gullible Hindu.” The poor, unsuspecting Hindu, lost in their myriad gods and rituals, apparently just waiting for someone to come along and show them the “one true way.” Missionaries have been on this tireless mission for centuries, convinced that Hindus are spiritually starved and that all they need is a nudge—or, in this case, a fully booked banquet hall for mass conversion. It’s almost touching how persistent they are.
Because why respect ancient traditions when you can just hand someone a pamphlet, give them a cup of tea, and voila! Instant spiritual awakening.
No More Banquet-Hall Conversions! Jemimah Rodrigues
Khar Gymkhana, to its credit, didn’t take long to act. The moment the conversion cat was out of the bag, the club swiftly canceled Jemimah Rodrigues’s playing membership. Of course, the young cricketer might not have had anything to do with her father’s pious ambitions, but you know what they say—when your dad’s in the conversion business, everyone pays the price.
The club must now grapple with the fallout. Members whispering, conversions lurking in the corners of the tennis court. God knows (pun intended) what other schemes are in the pipeline. What’s next? Conversion yoga sessions, perhaps? Or maybe a swim-and-save package deal?
Will the Missionaries Ever Stop?
The million-dollar question, however, remains. Will the missionaries ever stop? It doesn’t seem likely. From remote villages to Mumbai’s high-end clubs, the drive to “enlighten” the gullible Hindu masses knows no boundaries. They won’t stop until every cricket ground, banquet hall, and living room has been transformed into a pulpit.
And why should they? As long as people are willing to listen, they’ll keep talking. Whether it’s over tea, at weddings, or apparently during cocktail hour at the gymkhana. And if the Hindus don’t bite, well, there’s always next year’s banquet bookings to look forward to.
So, for now, Khar Gymkhana may have shut the door on Ivan Rodrigues and his conversion activities, but rest assured, the missionaries will find a new venue soon. The banquet hall may be empty. The mission lives on! Undeterred, ever vigilant, and always on the lookout for their next batch of gullible souls.
