It’s gotten worse in recent months and there is real fear among the Christians in India about what the mobs will do now that they feel they can ‘purge’ India of all ‘foreign’ influences in their culture.
Christians are already as you said a horrifyingly persecuted people there - virtually unknown in this country. But I have seen and heard such institutionalized persecution myself and got a very mild taste of what it is like to be a Christian living in a slum area amongst high caste Hindus.
My wife can't send checks to her relatives in Mumbai anymore. Although the relatives were happy to move out of a slum and into an apartment building, the Hindus either intercept and tear up the checks or hold on to them for months and then pass them along with a nasty note. We now have to do bank transfers, and the Hindu tellers there are nasty also (with the exception of one friendly one -- thank God).
Do you think Goa will be relatively safe for some time to come? (I say relatively because there has already been at least one murdered priest there).
