Could you please enlighten me as to why this is happening?
Just so you know, I’m one of the few Americans who has studied Indian history, culture, and skimmed the surface on knowledge of Hinduism. These blatant acts of hatred are a shock to my sensibilities. I know about the conflict between Muslims and Hindus, but out and out widespread violence against Christians is new to me.
There are many web sites that give detailed information on what is happening in Orissa. Nuns have been raped and killed, christian children burned alive, orphanages destroyed - and christians herded like animals into camps. Perhaps the following link will shed some light on the how this all began.
It is a needless and senseless tragedy. Please remember these innocent victims in your prayers.
