India is around 80% Hindu. 14.23% of the population is Muslim, and 2.3% are Christian. Many Hindus regard Christianity as a foreign faith, although it was brought to India by the Holy Apostle Saint Thomas.

“Radical Hindu Mob Attacks House Church,” International Christian Concern, July 18,2024:

More than 35 Hindus attacked a house church on Sunday in Dehradun in the northern hill state of Uttarakhand, severely injuring the family that hosted the gathering and vandalizing the home.

The incident sparked anger among the Christian community in Uttarakhand, many of whom have called for church leaders to devise a course of action for addressing and protesting the increasing number of attacks on Christians in the state.

The attackers accused the homeowners of conducting a religious conversion program. They claimed they had received a complaint that a woman and her children had been forcefully converted to Christianity and that she had been kept in the house for two days.

The radical Hindus beat the Christian family, including a few women, and their destroyed property. Police eventually broke up the attack, and those injured received treatment at a local hospital.

Later, one of the Christian women who was attacked filed a complaint with police in which she named five of the alleged attackers. Police are also investigating 25 to 30 people who were allegedly involved in the attack. 

The attackers also stole a laptop and other materials like Bibles and literature to allegedly show evidence that conversions were taking place in the home….
