I don't think events such as these should be interpreted as "hatred for Christians in India by the Hindus". It is just one small (though very influential) and deeply politicised that has been sporadically deploying religious infighting as a means of ascending to power, and retaining it.
In any case, a response that is loaded with communal logic will only help take such campaigns forward. There are a surprising number of secular individuals across India, of all religions. The challenge is how to build bridges to fight intolerance of all kinds.
