There is only one effective way to protest about these deaths if you live in the West. -- Do not buy /consume any Indian products or services.
The country seems to be out of control.

It is likely the christians in India will have to undergo a lot more suffering for their faith in Jesus, But they should face them with the assurance of Christ himself " Be of good courage, you will have tribulation but I have overcome the world".

Dr Paul, Chennai, India

In their lust for power the Bharatiya Janata Party and its rabid communal organisations, the RSS, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal will go to any extent to stoke religious hatred based on religion, caste and class. The BJP is made up of the upper castes of India

The police which is under the control of the ruling party in Karnataka behaved like terrorists themselves. They did more damage to Christians in Mangalore, one of the most peaceful cities of India, by caning children, ladies and the old inside the churches than the miscreants themselves.

Its really paining my heart. Jesus told us to forgive, because they dont know what they are doing. Jesus Loves them. We need to pray for the persecutors. O Lord Bless them and save them.

Ah the scales fall from the eyes.

We have to remember that hinduism has the largest amount of extremists from all religions, because the majority of the country is poor. They are a very potential force of terror as they are governed by superstition and poverty. In the past 20 years 10 million girls have been killed by their parents.

I am pleasantly surprised that ,given the Western media's antipathy to Christianity , this even got reported. The average Westerner seems unaware that Indian Christians even exist. Ergo it's illogical to talk of genocide of those who don't exist in the first place..

Oh - and I'm not 'bitter'.

Wherever BJP is ruling, there are communal riots. It is a party that is known for talking of national security, but encourages communal forces like the Bajrang Dal, RSS and VHP to kill minorities living in India. They are the main cause for bringing inter community hatred in India.

Joe Prasad, Mangalore , India

The burning alive of minorities has become the norm for terrorising minorities. In 1984 thousands of Sikhs were burnt alive by the 'secular' Congress Party , Police and Hindu extremists. Nobody has been punished. In 2002 the BJP carried out the massacre of Muslims now its Christians.

L Singh, London, UK

What kind of fear mongering is this?

Attacks on nuns, churches and Christian refugees across India - Please substantiate 'across India'. The Orissa violence is between Backward class christians demanding a share of reservations from poorer Hindu tribals.

Chandra, Bangalore,

So what is the Indian Government doing about this ? I thought the Hindu religion was a neutral ethos without prejudice !!!!!!!!

There is no proof that the Swami was killed by Christians. The Maoists have claimed that they killed him. There is no such thing as forced conversion. The minorities are increasingly being targetted by fanatics all over India,

SM Hussain, Hyderabad, India

"Burnt alive" - it has become so common for them. A cruel devilish attitude. The cry of the innocent blood will be heard by the GOD. Religion - Is it not the basic right of a human?.
