Christians are fair game in India On the front page of Times of India today is the tall claim that Indias economic growth will catch up with Chinas in 2 years. This claim goes beautifully along with another news item published just next to it, stating that in 6 weeks the 4th Church in Delhi has been vandalised It seems that Christians have become fair game in India. Christians are only 24 million in a country of 1250 million, 2.3% of the total population of India. They are a peaceful hard working community who do no harm to anyone. And yet what is being done to them ? Are they heading for the same fate as the Jews in Nazi Germany ? Dominic Emmanuel, editor of the magazine Word Among Catholics has said Disruption of our prayers and services have become an everyday affair. The silence of the authorities has left the community with a feeling of insecurity On Wednesday last, Our Lady of Grace Church in Delhi was attacked. Before that the San Sebastian church was vandalized and burnt. But the police have yet to identify the attackers. Archbishop Anil Cuotu says People have broken down glasses, smashed religious statues, and have torn our religious literature. But nothing has been done to protect us. We wrote to the Prime Minister Mr. Modi, in this connection,but received no reply Attacking a tiny, helpless community is surely an act of great bravery !
