CHRISTIANS AT THE RECEIVING END Never after Independent India Christian community was targeted so methodically. Christians are a minuscule community hardly 2.6% and with any perceptible change in their populations to pose any threat of numbers, Their attitude of forgiveness and offering the other cheek is the manifestations of non violent nature and philosophy. The outpouring of Julius Ribeiro,respected revered figure that he is feeling threatened in his own country is a serious lament on treatment to this community The raping of elderly nun is stated as Christian culture, It is not mere law and order problem involving gang rape, desecration of the premises and the perpetrators on the run inspire of TV footage The installation of Hanuman Idol by vandalizing under construction Church in Hisar Harayana. The caustic comment of Mohan Bagwat on the selfless service of Mother Theresa, immediately after P.M assured the delegation of freedom to every Indian in matter of faith .The burning and vandalisation of Churches in Delhi and no one being booked after 100 days thereafter. The non violent peaceful community resorting to candle marches, silent protests, prayers and forgiveness to the accused have every season to be apprehensive of threat to their security to profess and propagate their faith as permitted and guaranteed by the Constitution. Those among the community , who voted BJP hoping for good Governance, development are totally disillusioned lot and perhaps ruing their bad judgement It is only after the massive victory of BJP the Christian community whose contribution in the field of education , health and other social fields are ignored by systematic targeting the community.
