If you check your recent history the BJP has not been kindly disposed toward Christians. So, this is a little surprising and in need of verification.
It's verified, and highly publicized. How many Christians India will actually take in remains to be seen. Not sure if there is a significant number of Indian Christians in Islamic nations at this time.
This is true. A relative is in the Catholic clergy and has been to India several times recently. Yes they are cracking down on Christian clergy. I wont get into details.
Modi’s party is very much Hindu bigots. Hindu bigots are not as bad (so far) as Muslim bigots, but it is what it is.
The BJP is a eing of the RSS, a stridently Vaishnavite Hindu group. They see the biggest enemy as Islam with Christianity as a cultural competitor.
This act allows for local south Asian Christian’s to escape to India. Christian’s don’t cause riots, and this would be a great voting strategy for Modi considering this year is an election year
