Rising anti-Christian Violence in IndiaThis intimidation of Christians on one pretext or another has seen the rise during the last 11 years and is seen more in the BJP ruled states. Various reports from local and global agencies list the increasing harassment of Christians in India. (2024)Sudhi Selvaraj and Kenneth Neilson argue very aptly “This (anti-Christian) violence is…characterized by a strong convergence of direct, structural, and cultural forms of violence, involving vigilante attacks and police complicity, but also an increasingly coercive use of state law, coupled with the production of a wider cultural common sense about the anti national essence of non-Hindu religious minorities.”The total picture of rise in anti-Christian violence in diverse forms becomes clear over a period of last few decades. Anti-Christian violence is different in that except the burning of Pastor Stains and the Kandhmal violence, it has been going on but not easily noticeable. So, after the obvious anti Muslims violence the anti-Christian agenda is becoming more apparent!
