Happy & Merry Christmas !

In India at Raipur in the State of  Chhatisgarh., Bareilly, in the State of Uttar Pradesh and  Nalbari in the State of Assam Christian decorations (done for Christmas) were attacked & disturbed even in the presence and knowledge of police as reported at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NNo6d1dxjk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK_CIXpilQg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WhonrpQJg8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQEpk00Z6Io and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRkYpSUqCg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ORRZNW8xQ  and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYHamnl-k3o

In all these three States the government is of BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) of Hindutva forces led by Prime Minister Modi [who would convert secular India into ‘Hindu Rashtra’ (a Hindu theocratic State) in obedience to his ideological guide RSS which wants Hindu Rashtra as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOZql3cqTWA ] . But it is only one part of the story. THe other part of the story is that such incidences could happen because:-

(i)- Indian Christians who are in the USA have failed to mobilize the US-establishment (US President, US SEcretary of State, US Embassy & Consulates in India, US-Congress, USCIRF Etc) to do something effective which will stop attacks on Christianity in India because such attacks are against the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights of religious freedom of the Christians in India.

(ii)- The religious leaders of Christiniaty in India (Clergy of Churches etc) are less interested in spreading the message of Jesus Christ and more interested in acquiring land, landed properties and other wealths for Churches.

(iii)- The global leadership of Christianity in the West including at the Rome (the Vatican)  dont take the attack on Christianity and Christians seriously even in the case of more serious attacks like genocide as happened at Kandhmal in 2008. Rather they are happy that faith is growing despite  such genocide as reported at  https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2019-08/india-kandhamal-odisha-christian-persecution-anniversary-barwa-m.html .

Therefore it will be interesting to see whether this time Indian Christianity through Indian American Christians & US-Christianity will be able to do  something effective which will stop such attacks on Christianity in India in future especially when such attacks are against the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights of religious freedom of the Christians in India.
