Christians developing minority complex NEW DELHI, MARCH 25. Christians in the Capital who until three years ago never thought of themselves as a minority but considered themselves as an integral part of society have of late shown a tendency to harbour a "minority complex". Describing it as a very serious and unfortunate development for society as well as the community, the Delhi Minorities Commission has called for immediate steps to boost the morale of the Christians and to discourage the forces of disruption. Christians constitute one per cent of Delhi's population. In its annual report for the year 2001-2002, the Commission regretted that the community that has lived in peace and served society selflessly has come under a sustained misinformation and intimidation campaign in the recent past. The report was tabled in the Delhi Assembly last week. The Commission, which was constituted by the Delhi Government in May 2000, says in its report that the Christian community has been facing acute problems in respect of space both for worship and for burial of the dead.
