Mr. D’Cruz is unfair to generalize India/Hindu majority as against Catholic Christian community, on basis of attacks by narrow minded villagers and or hired goons; when spin doctors polarize two communities. He is unfair to blame BJP/Mody government for dramatic increase in number of attacks. All incumbent governments, UPA, Congress, NDA, etc have attacked Hindus: eg Hindu sadhu (Baba Ramdev) was attacked at midnight, another Hindu sadhu (Sri Sri Ravishankar) was forced to pay hefty penalty, Congress turned blind eye to ethnic cleansing of Hindu Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir, allowed massacre of 4000 Sikhs. So why blame BJP/ Modi government?
Kindly consider protection of minority religions enshrined in India’s Constitution. But religion of majority is marginalized under policy of secularism. Hindu places of worship are controlled by ruling governments, but churches are free of any governmental meddelings. Funds from Hindu temples are snatched by government but not from churches. Minority religions should be grateful and continue to generate Indo-centric patriotism/ identity along with pious/missionary zeal. Catholic Christians are contributing 100 % towards building strong India a la Parsis, Bahai and Jews. Please have faith in constructive majoritarianism of India. Eight great faiths coexist in India, Christianity is welcome too.
