In Kohima, the sole Hindu temple was brought down with
total connivance of the local government, police and
offcourse the mobs. LK Advani was enraged. I think
this was last year.
**** What happened to the laws of the land that ought to prevent such things?
Could not LKA, as the leader of the opposition or the shadow PM, go
to Kohima to prevent it? Was his stature of no consequence? Where did
them Christians get such UN-Indian, un-secular ideas? I am outraged!
>And there are offcourse systemic injustices
perpetrated against the Riyangs in Mizoram because
they are Hindus.
*** How very un-Hindu, un_Indian acts. There oughtta be a law!
It would be laughable idea if someone says there is no
Christian hegemony in some of the states.
*** Amazing! Imagine religious hegemony and bigotries in India, the
secular democracy the world is attempting to emulate!
I bet the way to fix it will be to impose Hinduism as the State
Religion of India. That ought to teach them n minorities a lesson.

Pashupatinath Mandir in Senapati district of Manipur
was burnt down in 1995 by the NSCN.
And there are offcourse systemic injustices
perpetrated against the Riyangs in Mizoram because
they are Hindus.
Maybe when I have some more time, I will come out with
a longer list. You could google and find out the
truths about some of these.
It would be laughable idea if someone says there is no
Christian hegemony in some of the states. It would be
even more laughable if some one says the Church does
not bless such "atrocities".

**** How are Hindus treated there? I never heard of
harassment of
Hindus in the NE Christian areas before. Can you
refer us to some
credible source?
