Human rights group, International Christian Concern has said it has uncovered evidence to show that the recent anti-conversion bill in Himachal Pradesh was the result of an orchestrated campaign of lies and misinformation.
The persecution watchdog explains that a local Christian source, who requested anonymity, said that Hindu fundamentalist groups have been running a hate campaign against Christians, using the local newspapers, which normally have their reach limited to towns and cities.

Not surprising. The Hindutva types are every bit as disgusting as the Islamists. A rope and a lamppost for both, I sez.
The picture from the blog is misplaced. It is not from India, it’s a mosque, probably in Pakistan.
And to these Christian types, in the eastern Himalayas:
National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/nlft.htm
The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was formed in December 1989 for the purpose of seceding from India in order to create an independent Christian fundamentalist state of Tripura. The group was banned under the Unlawful Activies Prevention Act of 1967.
The headquarters of NLFT is located in the Khagrachari district of Bangladesh, about 40-45 km southeast of Simanapur.
In Tripura a systematic surrender of arms by a faction of NLFT insurgents and NLFT fringe groups is due to the increased security pressure and to infighting within NLFT insurgent ranks. Since 2000 a few hundred militants have surrendered in small groups to the security forces, handing in their weapons. The NLFT leadership engaged in peace talks with Mizoram Chief Zoramthanga in April 2001, however the NLFT has not promised acceptance of any future peace process.
The NLFT has set up a number of camps in Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), in the Sylhet, Maulavi Bazar, Habiganj and Comilla regions. NLFT also has ties with Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI).
Christian Insurgents? It’s about time.
They’re not exactly kind towards Catholics or others, either.
If they are legit, then it’s about time somebody started doing something about the Hindutvas!
No, they are Talibanish- to the extent that barring Baptists, they’ll kill you even if you’re Catholic. And most of their victims are fellowmen who haven’t converted. Not Hindus, but tribals. Their rise has nothing to do with “Hindutva”.
I sure hope each and every one of those b@stards either surrender, or are caught and executed in the most painful manner, like it’s going on. They are thugs and drug-runners. Baptists they call themselves. But they are marked to die.
Of course, of course, it never does....
It never does, as long as you look the other way, regarding your baggage.
Thats very stupid of you to want to bring it on the Christians. 99% percent of Hindus are not anti-Christians (same cannot be said about Muslims), only a handful of lunatics are just like you have the KKK and Aryan Nation in this country. If you think its legit that Christians start terrorism against India, it would invite a backlash that would wipe out Christianity considering the fact that they are only 2% of the Indian population. Hindus in general never had much problem with Christians and vice-versa. Be careful of what you ask for.
I said nothing about terrorism. I just found it refreshing that a group of christians decided to take up arms in their own defense instead of just turning the other cheek and waiting to be slaughtered.
If they are engaged in terrorism, then I do not support them. I know nothing more of them than what I read in that article. So don’t go lumping me in with the likes of the KKK and Aryan nation unless you have some better evidence. I take great offense at that kind of uninformed slur.
“So don’t go lumping me in with the likes of the KKK and Aryan nation unless you have some better evidence. I take great offense at that kind of uninformed slur.”
What are you so upset about? I didnt call you KKK and Aryan nation. Re-read my post.
That is what I am annoyed about. So, if you weren't to lump me in with them, Just what were you trying to say there? If that is not an attempt at a slur, I don't what is.
Ok I forgot to put the comma. Lets try this again.
only a handful of lunatics are, .......... just like you have the KKK and Aryan Nation in this country.
BTW, NLFT are a banned terrorist group not a group of christians deciding to take up arms in self-defense. NLFT has massacred an entire village of innocent people. The have killed Hindus, tribals animists and Catholics alike. If you find that “refreshing”, then something wrong with YOU and has nothing to do with me being offensive.
“If that is not an attempt at a slur, I don’t what is.”
You have gotta be a niggle to think thats an attempt at slur. Jeez.
Had you simply posted that, instead of an attack, then all would have been fine.
