For decades, Christmas has meant trouble for Indian Christians. During the holiday, Hindu extremists ramp up attacks on Christian churches and organizations, always with the same accusations of forced and fraudulent conversions.

These extremists cannot understand or accept that there are Indians of various backgrounds, castes, and religions who find Jesus Christ extremely attractive. Many of them freely choose to follow and believe in him of their own accord. Perhaps these extremists don’t watch the many testimonies shared on YouTube of Indians who have found Jesus.

Instead of fostering freedom of religion, the Indian government has even suspended World Vision’s license due to the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). World Vision in India is a completely secular organization that does not engage in anything related to evangelism, even to the point that it is criticized by other Christian groups. How does anyone become so socially callous as to refuse to take into consideration the recipients of World Vision’s charitable work?

It’s not just big nongovernmental organizations such as World Vision, either. In 2022, thousands of Christian groups found their licenses to receive foreign money suspended. Most of these NGOs are involved in great, compassionate social work that our people depend on. The lives of millions are now affected by a growing economic crisis. The poor in India face the worst of it.

There is an open door for investment in India’s business sector, and the wealthy continue to become rich in the absence of a philanthropic social structure. The poor, the hungry, and the unemployed are left to fend for themselves without a helping hand. A massive social crisis is brewing in India among the impoverished. The hunger index number given to India by independent agencies is very concerning.

Now, a leader of the ruling party, who has been forum-shopping in India’s high courts and the Supreme Court, has filed yet another petition in the Supreme Court falsely based on the existence of forced and false conversions and the changing demographics of India. A bench of the Supreme Court has allowed the petition.
