Five Attacks in Five Days on Christians in Central India

• http://www.breitbart.com

In the space of just five days, from May 10 to 15, 2015, Hindu Fundamentalist groups have carried out five separate attacks against Christians in their places of worship in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which is under the authority of the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

According to Sajan George, head of the "Global Council of Indian Christians" (GCIC), the attacks occurred without any provocation or apparent motive, if not "hatred of helpless Christians" and "the intent to terrorize."

On Sunday, May 10, Pastor Emmanuel Ronald Sinclair was stopped, questioned, and beaten.

Later in the week, a hostel for mentally disabled children run by Augustinian nuns was attacked by unknown criminals in the village of Pipaldhar. Among other things, the marauders threw heavy bricks on the roof of the building, which broke through, falling into the inhabited rooms below yet missing those who were sleeping there.

George condemned the assault, calling it "an attack not only on the sisters but also on disabled children, which aggravates the severity of the act." George also said that the attack was "an affront against society itself, to which the religious offer a tireless and generous service through the care of needy children."

That same night, suspected Hindu radicals also attacked three churches in Indore, Madhya Pradesh's largest city.
