I dont want to be drawn into a lengthy discussion here, but I'm an Indian Christian and can vouch no one is persecuting all christians.

The country is rather divided into two segments - haves and have nots.

Religious violence occurs, but its mostly a Hindu-Muslim thing. Never heard of Christian-Hindu mob violence in mainstream India.

I dont know why some people are intent on provoking a fight between Hindus and Christians.

Just practice live and let live, stop name calling and such childish behavior.

Exactly -- nearly all Hindus condemn any violence against Christians -- they may debate on the merits of Christianity, but that's good.

I dont know why some people are intent on provoking a fight between Hindus and Christians.

SOme political extremists in India like the Bajrang Dal wanted to do that, but found that all Hindus don't really like attacks on Christians and most vigourously oppose it (of course, attacks on Muslims are a different matter both for reasons and for reactions). Most Christians in India are staunchly patriotic.
