I know Hindu’s. I was born as one. From what I know, Hindu’s are one of the most tolerant of other religions. Christians in India, have seldom done any atrocities. So it follows that they are respected and loved by 99% of Hindu’s. Same with Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Jews, Jains, Sikhs, Bahai’s, etc.
Of course there are always a few fanatics in every religion. Such as the Sikh who assassinated prime minister Indira Gandhi, or the Hindu who assassinated Mohandas Gandhi. But there were no mob actions against other faiths by those religions, unlike the Muslims.
Yeah, well, there’s been a good bit of Hindus burning Christian missionaries alive, raping nuns and schoolgirls, stripping priests naked and parading them through the streets, killing villagers who convert to Christianity etc. during the last several decades, especially since 1999.
Google for hindu violence against Christians and see what you find.
In 2011:
As you are aware, Dayak writes, the 23rd of August marks the third anniversary of the killing of VHP leader Lakshmananda Saraswati in Kandhamal, in Orissa, by Maoists, which was followed by a pogrom against the Christian Dalit and Tribal community of that region. That led to over 56,000 Christians homeless, almost 300 churches destroyed, more than 5,600 houses burnt. A nun and two other women were raped and many molested. The memory of that violence has scorched the psyche of our community.
2008, New York Times, no less
NEW DELHI At least 3,000 people, most of them Christians, are living in government-run relief camps after days of Christian-versus-Hindu violence in eastern India, government officials said.
The government said that many people were also living in the jungle without any shelter and security because of the tensions, which erupted in violence after a Hindu leader was killed Saturday. At least 10 people, most of them Christians, have been killed since.
Christian community leaders say that at least 1,000 Christian homes have been set on fire since Monday, rendering more than 5,000 people homeless.
Many of those living in the jungle were without food or water, said the Rev. Dibakar Parichha, a priest at the Roman Catholic church in Phulbani, a town in Orissa State. Father Parichha said that about 90 places of worship, including small churches and prayer halls, had been burned down. Local officials said the figure was about 20.
The violence has occurred in Kandhamal, a district in Orissa State that has a history of communal and ethnic clashes. The latest conflict started Saturday night, when unidentified armed men stormed a Hindu school in Kandhamal and killed the Hindu leader Laxmanananda Saraswati and four of his followers.
The police suspected that Maoist rebels were responsible. But Hindus blamed Christians. In the retaliatory violence, 500 houses were burned. All nine towns in the district are under a curfew, and the police have license to shoot. At least two people have been killed in violent reprisals in other districts of Orissa, including a woman who died when an orphanage was burned down.
The Hindi nationalist are not so tolerant. Many Christians come from the lowest caste, and many Hindus regard this as an attack on their caste system,

you are correct. But don’t get any Hindu talking about Moslems — 1000 years of Moslems persecuting, slaughtering, raping hindus leads to a lot of bad blood...
