The Hindu suppression of Christians is intensifying every day. John Dayal, a member of the Indian government’s National Integration Council recently said:
There has been a sharp rise in hate campaigns against Christians by political organizations. …This threat of purging Christians from villages extends from Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh to now Uttar Pradesh, and to the borders of the national capital of New Delhi
In July, 25 Hindus attacked a church in Sahakarinagar village, beating the pastor and others.
Indian village councils have abolished and outlawed Christian prayer, meetings, and evangelism illegal in 50 towns.
Aneesh Andrews, a Methodist district superintendent, said:
In some places, the passing of the resolution has been followed by attacks on pastors and pulling down of village churches
New Delhi Archbishop Anil J. Couto has exclaimed:
It is very disturbing, and we request local authorities to take adequate measures to book the miscreants threatening to weaken the social fabric of this great nation
The International Christian Concern also gave their warnings:
Like Christians facing ISIS [another name for IS] in Iraq, millions of Christians across India are facing persecution at the hands of radical Hindu nationalist groups
