Persecution And Hate Campaign In Orissa, India

Racial and religious persecution or hate campaign know no boundary. It happened in America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The whole world right now might be more worry on the global financial crisis, oil prices and the declining supply and the Middle-East tension but not many are aware of the ongoing persecution of Christian minority in Orissa, India since December 2007.

There is little news coverage on the hate campaign in Orissa (which resulted in fatalities, destruction of homes and refugees) by international news media. The Indian government is also not doing enough to stop the bloodshed between the same race, Indian against Indian but different faiths.

Excerpt from Persecution Update India site:

Why the Christians? Have we run out of Muslims and Sikhs, that a small and insignificant minority should be slaughtered, pillaged and raped at will by right wing Hindutva forces? This may sound strange, but in a real sense that the saffron mob has in deed — if not in words — run out of options. This is why they have now turned against Christians. They are the last soft target.

The Sikhs set the retaliation game in motion. They hit out, often randomly, at designated targets making it known to Hindu sectarians that taking on a Sikh will not be a picnic any longer. This stopped further attacks against them. The Muslims picked up this lead and set their own pace by orchestrating the Mumbai blasts of 1993, and several after that in quick succession. So the Muslims can no longer be hunted down either for casual Hindu amusement.

This only leaves the Christians. It must be borne in mind that Hindutva activists are at their predacious best when the kill is easy and their own safety assured in advance. This is why where Christians are in sizable numbers, such as in Nagaland, Kerala or even Goa, Hindutva sectarians dare not touch them. Instead they turn to areas like the Dangs in Gujarat or Kandmahal in Orissa where Christians are scattered and isolated. In these places it is easy to kill without the fear of being killed.
