USCIRF Disappointed Over Blocked Visit to India

The Indian leaders don't want to let these people into Orissa. They say they won't put up with any outside interference in their internal religious affairs. That can pretty much be interpreted as 'we're not going to let you see how much our Hindu leaders are promoting violence against Christians'. The interesting thing is always how much these people expect others to be tolerant of them...

Hindu extremists' reward to kill Christians, as Britain refuses to bar members

Get the Christians out and stop all aid and assistance to the country. You see, that's the difference between a Christian nation (and I use the term loosely) and their own. The 'Christian' nation won't do that...

Orissa: six more churches set on fire, hundreds of homes destroyed

"More and more Christian villages are being plundered and set on fire as police remains idle. Death threats are made against Christians if they practice their faith. but according to the government of Orissa the situation is "under control"."

'Under control' seems to have a funny meaning to that government.

A friend of mine, an Indian priest, says that the problem is that in some of these provinces in India you can't separate the Hindu religion from the Hindu Government and Hindu politics. They're all one. So, from my perspective, in this case the situation is 'under control' to the government because they really aren't concerned about some Christians, even though those Christians are Indian.

So very sad...

A "national shame", but


is the government going to do anything to try to stop the violence, and not just compensate families for people killed?
