Christians in India

By : Mauricio Soares

Pakistanis know better than anybody else what kind of communal discord and disparity ravages it. You don't get to read much because the religious minority hardly has a voice in the country. But it is interesting ( read disgusting) to note that inspite of being treated like litter , they somehow muster the patriotism to indulge in anti-India propoganda thus justifying their being Pakistanis. It is more than a coincidence that the Paksitan Hindu Patrika , a journal of Pakistani Hindus , also reflects the same diatribe directed at India. Though I would not say , we the Christians, have no complaints of violation of our rights in a secular India, one can equivocally say that Indian Christians cannot complain about any sort of discrimination or segregation in the society. Let us not forget that Indian Christians can complain and introspect without fear only because of the equality and freedom vested in themselves by the secularity of the Indian constitution which belongs to them as much as it does to anybody else. India struggles from time to time with its pluralism but the equality and religious freedom it offers is exemplary. Christians in India by and large live as equals though being a minority. They do not have and wish for special representation in society or government because they do not need it. They are not marginalised by society in any way that the government need to organise their representation. To make a long story short , it is not wise on Paksitani Christian organisations to paint a false picture of their brotherhood across the border in India just to appease their government and their majority Muslim population. But that they have to do that to merely survuve in a largely theocratic state is understandable. Mauricio Soares
