A. Baha'i Faith
The Baha'i Faith emerged in Iran in 1844. It claims to be a world religion, and its followers believe in a person named Mirza Hossein Ali Nuri (Baha'u'llah) as the prophet and founder of the Baha'i Faith.
Baha'is claim that Krishna was a divine leader of an earlier age, but now it is the time of Baha'u'llah.
They also claim that Hinduism has become old and corrupted and that all Hindus must believe in Baha'u'llah, whom they call Kalki Avatar.

| Abdu'l Baha |
Baha'u'llah passed away in 1892 A.D. After his death, his eldest son Abdu'l Baha took over the leadership of this religion. After his death in 1921, his grandson Shoghi Effendi took over the Baha'i faith. After his demise in 1957, the Baha'i Faith got divided into many sects, and chaos broke out among Baha'is worldwide.
The major sect or the mainstream Baha'is have their administrative center in Haifa, Israel. Baha'is keep travelling there to visit their holy shrines, and their administrative activities are handled and coordinated by the Universal House of Justice (UHJ) located in Haifa.
Their supreme administrative body, the Universal House of Justice is composed of 9 members, the majority of whom are Persians.
B. Ban on Baha'i Faith
The Baha'i Faith has been banned in many countries such as Egypt, Iran, Bangladesh, Korea, China, Israel (they are not allowed to teach in Israel), etc. Many of their websites have been blocked because they are accused of spreading false propaganda and misleading simple-minded good people, youth and children.
Baha'i Sects
Baha'is claim that Sanatan Dharma, although the oldest faith, is now outdated and therefore divided into numerous castes and sects, whereas the Baha'i faith is the one and only one that is united and has no sects.
The fact is that within a small span of about 170 years, the Baha'i Faith itself has been divided into more than 10 sects, all claiming to be the true Baha'is.

Baha'i Population in India
They give false population figures about themselves in many countries, especially India. They claim that India has the largest Baha'i community in the world, numbering about 22 lakhs. However, the official Census of the Government of India (2011) records only 4,573 Baha'is.
