The church in Batticola was rased to the ground and burned last August, at the beginning of the violence against Christians. Now, a foundation about one meter high [...]
In India, courts have spoken forcefully against assaults and murders committed by relatives of the victim for the sake of family honour. Yet, honour killings appear to be increasing in north-west India (map at right), in large part because police sympathise and even collude with family members who feel they have been shamed. Young men [...]
It’s getting harder to tell Hindu extremists from Muslim extremists. Activists of a self-styled pro-Hindu moral brigade called Sri Rama Sene barged into a pub in the coastal city of Mangalore on Saturday and bashed up a few young girls for “violating traditional Indian norms”, police said Sunday.

Subramanian of the Harvard School of Public Health has found that, [...]

Tomorrow, 9 November, is International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. IDOP is observed each year on the second Sunday of November to remember and lift up in prayer the hundreds of millions of Christians around the world who suffer because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

An editorial in St Louis Jewish Light points out that Christian leaders have been silent while Christians in India and Iraq are killed, dispossessed, and driven into refugee camps or exile. This stands in stark contrast to frequent public statements regarding certain other purported injustices elsewhere in the world. Even more perplexing is the seeming [...]
A court in India has called for the establishment of government agencies to “regulate, control and supervise Muslim marriages and divorces” in order that Muslim women may be protected. The court observed that though polygamy was allowed in the strict sense by Islam, there was no system in India to supervise or control such indiscreet [...]
A campaign of forced conversions to Hinduism is taking place in Orissa state, India, following months of anti-Christian persecution and violence.
