It’s India. It’s where they come from. You don’t see giant statues of Shiva inside the Vatican(The Who knows what Francis will lull next). The Hindus are wonderfully tolerant in the USA from my experience. You don’t see them pulling the crap that the Muslims do here.
Actually, there’s a rather large Christian population in India, mostly in Kerala in the South and in Goa (which is a former Portuguese colony unlike the rest of India). Most Indian Christians are Catholic, as are most of the churches. There are also still many Catholic-run schools, and in most hospitals the nurses are still referred to as “Sister” even if the hospital isn’t religious.
However you do see statues of Hindu gods and goddesses all over the west -- and that's fine, they are good people
Also, more than 2.5% of India’s population are Christian - that’s about 33 million people. And Christianity was in India probably before it even reached the city of Rome
“The Hindus are wonderfully tolerant in the USA from my experience. You don’t see them pulling the crap that the Muslims do here.”
Because they’re outnumbered.
Perhaps not in the Vatican but you can elsewhere in the West.IMO Western countries...particularly the US and Britain...should start banning Hindu temples in response.
India has, at least on paper, freedom of religion.
The issue is that the current ruling party centers its ideology around Hindu nationalism to the point where Hinduism and patriotism are one and the same.
Given the fact that India is only 3% Christian it’s hard to believe they’re getting this worked up about it.
