Christian family in India severely beaten by Hindu extremists

A family in India has decided to leave their ancestral home rather than renounce Christ after police allowed a mob of more than 150 Hindu extremists, intent on killing them, to severely beat them, reports Morning Star News.

The injuries that Vikas Salam and three others received in Chhattisgarh State’s Kanker District on September 21 required hospital treatment, as the assailants beat women, children and the elderly while police shockingly ignored their pleas for help.

The mob attacked and beat three Christian families with sticks, vandalized their homes and threatened to expel them from the village because they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. Local officials also later pressured the families to recant their faith.

Salam, age 24, said, “We have been following Jesus for the last 10 years. The villagers told us to either return to the Hindu fold or leave the village.”  Here at The Worldview we celebrate their bold faith.

In Romans 8:38-39, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Join me and send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Indian Ambassador to America, Vinay Kwatra, urging him to speak up for the right of Christians to practice their faith without being harassed and beaten. Send it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008.

Losses were pushed by Amazon, which shed about two percent when trading opened Friday morning. In particular, Amazon’s capital expe
