It seems all over India (not just the eastern areas anymore), these kinds of assaults against Christians are becoming more common, more virulent, bolder, and in larger numbers. It's heartbreaking to see. I read this article from the UK this morning,
Holy war strikes India, calling it what it has devolved into, a war against Christians. Another site, has requested Catholics join together worldwide to pray the Rosary for India's Christians, (sorry, no link, I can't get the story to load.)
It seems all over India (not just the eastern areas anymore), these kinds of assaults against Christians are becoming more common, more virulent, bolder, and in larger numbers. They are, and it's not just Christians, either. Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, and others are getting similar treatment. In some states, it's even illegal to convert to any religion except Hinduism.
India is effectively a theocracy with teh veneer of a democracy.
