Radical Hindus tear apart house of Christians in India

More disturbing persecution news against Christians in India.

We are just now learning about what happened in early July to a Christian family in Chhattisgarh State.

After the believers refused to participate in a Hindu reconversion ceremony called Ghar Wapsi, a radical Hindu mob tore down the roof of the family’s home, leaving seven people exposed to heavy monsoon rains and unable to live safely in the structure, reports International Christian Concern. 

Around 8:00 a.m. on July 2nd, a group of nearly 100 anti-Christian activists surrounded the home of “Kamal Sinha” to force him to undergo Ghar Wapsi, a reconversion ceremony back to Hinduism. When Sinha refused, tensions escalated, and the mob climbed onto the roof and ripped it apart. 

The man explained, “All of our harvested crops were drenched in the rainwater after the roof was destroyed.”

The leader of the mob, named Dhruv, confronted Sinha, demanding that he and his family renounce Christianity.  

He said, “By becoming Christians, you have polluted the village and defiled our gods and goddesses. You should not live here. You do not worship our deities, do not offer coconuts or other offerings, and do not accept the prasad given to our gods. And you follow another religion and another God. Therefore, leave the village. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to live here. We will stop your farming, demolish your house, and drive your entire family out.” 

As a result of the attack and ongoing pressure, Sinha’s family was forced to shut down their small grocery shop. The mob also cut off the water and electricity connections to the Christian family’s house. 

Just this year, hundreds of Christian families in Chhattisgarh, India have become homeless, building temporary shelters in the nearby forest.

Please pray that God’s grace would be sufficient for these hurting believers and God’s power would be made perfect in their weakness, as 2 Corinthians 12:9 articulates.

Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Vinay Kwatra, the Indian Ambassador to America, asking that he urge his government to protect Christians from the radical Hindus who persecute them. Address it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008.
