(The original title of the article: Hindus Come To A Village, Brutally And Violently Attack All Of The Christians, And Now The Village Is Completely Absent Of All Christians)
A Hindu mob in India went into the village of Amtola and after making a vicious and brutal attack on the Christians there, the village is now completely absent of all Christians. According to the report:
Church members have fled a village in northeast India after a vicious attack that seriously injured at least three Christians, including a 7-year-old girl.
A mob of about 100 Hindu extremists armed with swords, bamboo sticks and stones attacked Christians who were eating after a service at 8 p.m. on April 17 in Amtola village, Golpara District, Assam state, church leaders said. At least 15 Christians were injured, many of them wounded on their heads and upper bodies.
Right now there are no Christians in the village all have fled, said David Boro, a pastor in Guwahati. The Christian families who were the main target of the attack are now in a safe-house after they were released from the hospital. The more critically injured are still in the hospital, and when they will be released, they too will join the others in the safe-house.
The village is no longer safe, and in any event the families have no homes to go back to, church leaders said.
Not satisfied with merely beating the Christians, the mob led by Hindu extremists broke and destroyed the homes of these Christian families, said another Christian leader, Kamleshwar Baglary. All together, five houses have been completely destroyed along with household items.
The 7-year-old girl, Pranita Rabha, suffered serious chest injuries and clots in her brain due to the beating, church leaders said. She and two other Christians were rushed to Guwahati, the state capital, for medical treatment at Guwahati Medical College.
The attackers did not even spare women and children but beat them mercilessly with the intention to kill, Boro said.
This is no different than what ISIS is doing. As entire villages in Iraq have been purged of Christians by ISIS, so are villages in India being wiped out of Christians by Hindus.
Evidently persecution of all Christians is occurring throughout India at this time.
India is a dreadful place.
It’s a bad time to be a Christian as of late it seems.
This article “stinks” to high Heaven. Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties, such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings (ahimsa), patience, forbearance, self-restraint, compassion, among others.
It isn’t the only one I’ve found. There have been other ‘attacks’ in various locations in India, not just in northeast India.
As for “ahimsa”, I assume that means NOT beating Christian children nearly to death with sticks, right? So they must not be good Hindus, or am I wrong?
The village elders are against the Christians and under the influence of Hindu extremist groups, Baglary added. This time, the Hindu extremists used the extended Rabha family against the Christians. They instigated the rest of the clan against them, so the Rabha family led the attack with the Hindu extremists and villagers following them.
Police arrived well after the mob had beaten the Christians and had burned their homes, Boro said.
They simply arrested two Christians who had been beaten a lot and taken to prison, while they took no action against the attackers or their leaders, Boro said.

It’s being reported on other Christian sites as well...so it’s not an isolated report.
Hindus incurring bad karma and delaying Nirvana according to Hinduism.

Read Matthew chapter 24. Yesterday’s prophecy, today’s headlines.
Ganges River looks like a lot of fun!
The Indian priests that have given homilies that I have experienced have been very learned men.
God Bless the Christians of India and God please help them.
Oh I get it...everybody hates Christians so they must be the problem. There’s just something so evil about people that people that try to help others that are homeless, starving, and less fortunate you know...
Christians are the new Jews
This "report" smells like taquiya.
Christians hve been targeted heavily since Christmas 1998.
Sikhs, Assamese, Tamils, Bodos, Dalits, and others are also targets of the militant Hindu fundementalists.
Bring your snorkel! YUK!
You mean like the Hindu extremist who murdered Gandhi?
Hinduism is not so much a religion as a galaxy of religions. Various groups have little in common with each other. Some of the Tantric groups prescribe intentionally violating the eternal duties you mention. To be fair, various “Christian” groups have done the same.
The subject of the Bhagavad Gita, after all, is the religious duty of a warrior to fight.
