Persecution of minority Christians in India is escalating ahead of Christmas with attacks reported in several areas including in southern regions and the capital New Delhi.
In one of the latest known incidents Saturday, December 13, evangelical Christians were attacked and beaten by Hindu militants for singing Christmas carols in India’s southern city of Hyderabad, seriously injuring a pastor and four others, rights activists told BosNewsLife.
The Hindu mob was seen surrounding the vehicle, with several shouting that believers were trying to“forcefully convert people to Christianity” by singing Christmas carols.
» Editor’s note: We’re also seeing reports about an effort to “repurpose” Christmas in India and a campaign to convert 6000 people to Hinduism on December 25. Let’s seek God for peace and wisdom for India’s religious communities.
