Frisco, Texas: Nearly 300 people from Frisco, Dallas, and surrounding areas, including members of diverse civil rights and interfaith organizations, held a rally to protest Hindu supremacism (Hindutva) and anti-Christian persecution in India on Sunday, December 11.
Speakers at the protest, which was held outside Frisco City Council, included leaders from the Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Dalit communities, as well as activists and city residents, who called on the US government to recognize Hindutva as a threat to minorities and democratic values and initiate action against the Hindutva hate groups in the US.
The rally was organized after the Frisco-based group, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) held a fundraiser on November 27 to demolish 75 churches in India.
Pastor Justin Sabu, a pastor at Zion Church, thanked protesters for gathering in support of India’s 27 million Christians, who face ongoing persecution from Hindu extremists in India. He also recounted a story from his childhood, when he was beaten in his home city of Bangalore, India, by a group of Hindu extremists.
