Unfortunately the Hindu extremists are just as anti-Christian as they are anti-muslim.

A Hindu wouldn’t need to be an extremist to hate Islam to the guts, though.

And even yet, Christian faith still “sells” in India. If you are of a high muckety muck caste you can more easily ignore gospel, but if you happened to be from the wrong “cycle of karma” then the gospel powerfully speaks.

PPS... the higher castes sometimes receive the gospel too, however. I had the privilege a couple decades ago of meeting a Brahmin who had. He had been hired to translate gospels into another language (Hindi maybe?) for some kind of scholarly project, and he met Jesus Christ. Just like that. Sometimes the spirituality that goes on in “backward” places is surprising. I think first world moderns are sometimes so satisfied with their technological bread and circuses that they forget to think about what is beyond it all.

Yes, there is a lot of in-their-face to Christians. What is often less known is how God, through Christians, gets in the devil’s face.

Somewhat true -- they are first and foremost anti-Moslem. Islam has a 1000 year history of slaughtering Hindus in what is now india, pakistan and afghanistan. There is a millenium of bad blood between them

with regards to Christians -- the Hindu nationalists accuse Christians of trying to buy conversions, but they can't get the RSS followers to whip up the same anger as they do against Moslems

Again, Christians merge into Indian culture with Indian names etc. so there is less sense of "the other"
