What’s happening to Christians in the world's second most populous country and why? On the afternoon of June 20, 2018, five Christian women (aged 20 to 35) were beaten and abducted from their Christian school while they performed a street play in the Eastern India state of Jharkhand. A day after they were released (the attackers threatened to kill them if they went to the police), the women reported the assault to authorities. It was soon confirmed that all five women had been gang-raped. The attack was also allegedly filmed on cell phones.
On January 20, 2018, the body of Pastor Gideon Periyaswamy in Adaiyalachery (Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu) was found hung from the thatched roof of his house, a week after he complained to police about opposition from radical Hindus.
These horrific attacks give us a glimpse into what the 65 million Christians in India are facing in this land of 1.3 billion people. The country now ranks as the 10th most dangerous country on the 2019 World Watch List–up from No. 11 in 2018 and No. 15 in 2017.
12,000+ CHRISTIANS ATTACKED IN INDIA

The election of Prime Minister Modi in 2014 was seen by many observers as a tacit acceptance of Hindu nationalism. If anything, Mr. Modi’s tolerance of religious extremism has only increased since his election victory.
There have been recent calls for the Modi government to address Christian persecution, but those calls have gone unanswered. Of particular concern are allegations that Hindu nationalists are acting in collusion with some local governments and police forces.

Big difference. Americans are ARMED.
India has a large Muslim population, and Muslims have been beating, raping, and murdering Christians for 1,400 years.
The Untouchables can convert and are not longer untouchables... India needs a third tier for their centuries long “Indian” Culture to exist properly. They hate Christianity when this happens.
You may be right. But Modi’s policies are not helping. He seems to put anything not Hindu in the same category. Although the Sikhs I have spoken to don’t seem to be complaining.
To be fair there are radical Hindus in India who have carried out these sorts of attacks in the past. Personally I have yet to meet a Hindu who had any sort of problem with Christianity, but they are out there.
One of these attacks apparently occurred in an area of East India that is majority Christian. Likely the work of radical vigilante cells.
