India seems to be cracking down on Christians. This guy has a world-wide missionary network, and he is trying to train people in Bible study:
It's tough to tell what the real motive is. India's constitution includes Freedom of Religion. From what I just read, there has always some movement from one religion to the other (<2% of he population) that kind of seems to net out, with no one gaining and no one losing. The big difference is that Christianity actively tries to convert people, and the new law in India is not against Christianity...it's against proselytizing. Christianity had been in India since Christianity's inception. I wonder if this new law in response to something relatively recent? For the curious, here is the %Population belonging to each religion in India: Hinduism (79.8%) Islam (14.2%) Christianity (2.3%) Sikhism (1.7%) Buddhism, Adivasi, Jainism, Other and No Religion make up the rest (2%.)
PM Modi is leading a movement to take India back to its cultural roots. Like here, the constitution may not be observed if it gets in the way of the agenda. Russia and many other nations (like Hungary) are moving back to their cultural historical roots. Some in China are also leading that nation towards Confucianism where it doesn't conflict with the Communist agenda. We are moving the other direction apparently.
Even though Christians are reportedly such a small % f the population in India, I wonder if the problem is that it frees the lower castes (who make up most of the Christians) from their birth status.
