I know a few Indians, most of whom are Hindu. They are not the kind of people I would imagine capable of the kind of violence Compass Direct is reporting from the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Chattisgarh. (Compass’s site appears to be down at the moment.)
In the former state, two Christian pastors have been found murdered, the deeds claimed by the “Anti-Christian Forum.” In the latter, two hundred Hindu extremists attacked a church in the village of Moti Chowk. Police then arrested nine church members, charging them under the Indian Penal Code with “disturbing the peace.” All nine were released on bail two days later. The Christian community is also being boycotted in the village, restricting their access to the community well and from buying food at the local markets.
Items like this show us how blessed we are to live in a nation like the United States. Please pray for those in India and around the world who are persecuted in the name of our Lord.
