Just because, there are two States in Southern India that are ruled by Christians -- that does not mean that "Extremist Hindu Groups" like the R.S.S., V.H.P., Bajrang Dal, HJM, and Hindu Munnani as in the case of Tamil Nadu do not exist

Ah, but Soldier -- your generalisation is the problem. No one denies that groups like the Bajrang Dal are vicious loons that are strongly condemned by all Indians -- most Hindus can't stomach the violence these groups do and have kept it out of their areas. However, these groups still operate. That's a fact of democracy that even loons are allowed to operate as long as they stay within the limits of the law. And the law in India kind of lags in rural areas.

The RSS does persecute Christians, but that's only made more people want to convert.

What you state are isolated instances. As Raj pointed out -- Wipro is run by a Mslim. In India there isn't discrimination against Christians -- isolated atrocities by fringe groups do not constitute discrimination.
