"Christians persecuted an unnecessary propaganda unleashed internationally: Indian Bishop" (2023)

"Christians persecuted an unnecessary propaganda unleashed internationally: Indian Bishop" (April 14, 2023)

• As an Indian Christian, I have always advocated that claims of the ‘Christian’ community being persecuted in India are mostly exaggerated and play into a larger game plan to cover up the growing menace of forceful, coercive, and allurement-based conversion in India.

• Religious conflict is not unique to India. It happens in most parts of the world. Unfortunately, it appears that while there might be some genuine cases of religious conflict that must be addressed by the laws of the land firmly and strictly; most it seems are an exaggeration to create an impression that India and its majority population of Hindus are unleashing unwarranted atrocities on Christians.

• I believe that every Christian who is a victim of a religious hate crime must get justice under the laws of India but a Christian who falls prey to propaganda and works to portray India in questionable light must face the law for the lies spread.
