The attacks on Christians in Orissa is simply a continuation of attacks started 15 years back while BJP came into power. Christianity will not grow without persecution, so these attacks are simply putting more strength to the exploding growth of Christianity in India. Now, the mentality of Indian citizens is broadly divided into two. Hindu radicals think that through force, burning and killing, the growth of Christianity can be arrested. But the moderate Hindus, all the Dalits following various religions, Christians, Muslims, Sikh, Jains, Buddhists, the leftish parties, and the Congress party are standing on the other side. Even though an outright civil war won't start in India in the name of religion, however the mindset of the people are changing for good and they see the writing on the wall that the Hindu fundamentalism is the greatest danger facing India which will create blood bath in India. We all need to pray to God for establishing peace in India. Fanaticism in any religion is very dangerous, and the crooked politicians create these problems. The innocent people of the street are driven insane through the diabolical spirit of hatred in the name of religion.
