Christians across India are living in constant fear as a systematic campaign of violent harassment, rape and murder is waged against them.
This is the finding of a disturbing new report ‘Destructive Lies’ by the London School of Economics, commissioned by Christian charity Open Doors and presented to Parliament in July.
The report details the extreme persecution Christians and Muslims are facing at the hands of violent vigilante mobs of Hindu nationalists. The attacks are ignored and even condoned by the authorities – including state and regional government, police, and media – to keep in favour with the powerful in India.
