Every day, two Christians in India face attacks, according to the United Christian Forum (UCF), an ecumenical organisation that compiles data on atrocities against Christians.
On December 6, a right-wing Hindu group of an estimated 500 people attacked St. Joseph school in Ganj Basoda town, 100 kilometres from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh in central India.
The United Christian Forum had appealed to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure members of the minority religious community are safe after those belonging to the Hindutva organisation Vishwa Hindu Parishad allegedly threatened to demolish churches in the Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.
