Hindus welcomed or at least tolerated Christians in India for almost 2000 years. Then when the Portugeuse came to Goa in IIRC the 1500 or 1600’s, they committed many atrocities to the Hindu population - torture and the like. Still, there was little to no anti-Christian acts against Christians in India other than whatever reactions to the Portuguese violence.

More recently there has been very aggressive proselytizing by Christians using coercian and trickery. Things like opening schools in poor villages, letting kids come free for a year or two, and then telling the families with children attending that they have to convert to Christianity or their children can’t come, or it will now cost a lot of money unless they convert. Another method is to distribute food to poor people for a while, and then tell them if they want more food distribution, they have to convert.

Yet another method is printing pictures of Jesus kicking the heads of Hindu deities.

I remember on FR a member here went to India to visit a Christian mission he had been donating money to, and they had sent photos of their church that was burned down supposedly by Hindus. When he arrived in India he found there was no burned church and no real mission. It was a scam.
