Hindu radicals livestream attack on Christians to 'make area free of Christianity'
Christian Post ^ | 9/30/19 | Leah MarieAnn Klett

Indian authorities jailed church leaders and their families after Hindu extremists disrupted a worship service, beat individuals, and livestreamed the events on Facebook in efforts to make the area “free of Christianity.”

According to persecution watchdog International Christian Concern, the attack took place on Sept. 8 in the Domchanch villa of Koderma District in Jharkhand state.

Dozens of assailants from the youth militant group Bajrang Dal reportedly intruded on the church service and began verbally abusing congregants before tearing up Bibles, breaking church supplies, and stealing the offering box.

Following the attack, the group’s organizer, Yadav, went live on Facebook, showing off the Christians who were forced out of their house church and onto the streets. In the video, Yadav is seen pestering women about why they attended the service and claiming that Christianity has destroyed the entire district, according to ICC.

Eventually, the police arrived, and church pastor Manohar Prasad Varnwa, his family, and a few members were forced into a police vehicle. Meanwhile, the assailants stood by, watching the Christians’ arrest. The livestream ends on Yadav’s final comment: “Our job is to make this area free of Christianity.”

It’s interesting that these Hindu thugs have no apparent interest in attacking Muslims. Maybe a bit of Hindu cowardice involved.

India’s new PM Modi was here last week to participate in an event with Trump at the UN. POTUS needs to get Modi on the phone to inquire wtf is happening and how he intends to deal with these Hindu reprobates. Like, now

Actually after the Muslims near city of Dahod set fire to a train with Hindu pilgrims, Hindu mobs rampaged and killed several hundred Muslims (10 times as many as the pilgrims killed).

Similar mob revenge is unlike on the Christians since they do not engage in setting fire to any Hindu gatherings. And there are no news clips of Christians be-heading anyone.

Back in the day they did fight with Pakistan and what was to become Bangladesh.

CIA World Factbook: Hindu 79.8%, Muslim 14.2%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.7%

This is the first I’ve heard of Hindu-Christian conflict.

The state is 14.5% Islamic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jharkhand#Naxal_insurgency

Naxal insurgency

Jharkhand has been at the centre of the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency. Since the uprising of the Naxalites in 1967, 6,000 people have been killed in fighting between the Naxalites and counter-insurgency operations by the police, and its paramilitary groups such as the Salwa Judum.

Despite having a presence in almost 7.80% of India’s geographical area (home to 5.50% of India’s population), the state of Jharkhand is part of the “Naxal Belt” comprising 92,000 square kilometres, where the highest concentration of the groups estimated 20,000 combatants fight. Part of this is due to the fact that the state harbours an abundance of natural resources, while its people live in abject poverty and destitution. The impoverished state provides ample recruits for communist insurgents, who argue that they are fighting on behalf of the landless poor that see few benefits from the resource extractions. As the federal government holds a monopoly on sub-surface resources in the state, the tribal population is prevented from staking any claim on the resources extracted from their land. In response, the insurgents have recently begun a campaign of targeting infrastructure related to the extraction of resources vital for Indian energy needs, such as coal.

On 5 March 2007, Sunil Mahato, a member of the national parliament, was shot dead by Naxalite rebels near Kishanpur while watching a football match on the Hindu festival of Holi. His widow, Suman Mahato, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha candidate, won the Jamshedpur Lok Sabha by-election in September 2007 and served in parliament until 2009.

” . . .Another pastor in the district named Brijraj told ICC there has been a trend of attacks on churches in the district, adding, “All the pastors in the district are on alert and the entire Christian community is in a deep despair.”

India is ranked as the 10th worst nation in the world when it comes to Christian persecution, according to Open Doors USA’s 2019 World Watch List. Over 1,400 incidents of persecution against Christians in the country have been reported since the year Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party rose to power, according to an initiative of ADF India.

While several states in India have anti-conversion laws that criminalize conversion through allurement or other fraudulent means, such laws are often abused by Hindu nationalist groups that oppose the existence of Christian missionaries or ministries in their communities.

In a recent interview with The Christian Post, Pastor Samuel, an indigenous missionary working on the ground in India, revealed that Hindu extremists often won’t kill Christians, but they will terrorize and intimidate them, or maim or mutilate them “so they cannot live a normal life.”

“Christians are being targeted by the government; it’s seeking to halt the growth of Christianity and wipe out the church,” Samuel said.

In one instance, Hindu extremists raped the 4-year-old daughter of a pastor in central India because he refused to stop sharing the Gospel, according to Pastor Samuel.

“It’s increasing day by day,” he said. “It’s so unsafe, even for children.”

“This is the first I’ve heard of Hindu-Christian conflict.”

It’s been on for centuries. Hindus hate Christians.

And that is just a list over the past few years.

India is one of the worst places to live as a Christian. Most people are blind to that fact.

Yet we let this mostly Hindu H1B and H4EAD Indian scum into our country to the exclusion of Christians from other countries.

Modi is a Hindu nationalist, just as bad as Turkey’s Erdogan.

Undoubtedly some organization under the umbrella of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), the militant, fundamentalist Hindu nationalist organization.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the political arm of the RSS. An RSS leader said on the record that everyone who lives in India “must either be Hindu or be subservient to Hindus.”

They have carried out tens of thousands of extrajudicial killings of Christians, Sikhs, Muslims, Assamese, Bodos, Manipuris, Tamils, Dalits, and others.
