A coalition of Christian and interfaith leaders in Texas are calling on members of U.S. Congress to condemn “anti-Christian hate and bigotry” from a local nonprofit they say is raising funds to demolish churches in India.
The Federation of Indian American Christian Organization in North America (FIACONA) held a news conference Tuesday, warning that the Texas-based Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) is raising money in the United States to level churches and forcibly convert Christians and Muslims in India to Hinduism.
A Dec. 13 letter obtained by The Christian Post and addressed to U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the Internal Revenue Service and others alleges GHHF is “one of many Hindu supremacist groups” using the U.S. as an “operating base” to promote violence against Christians in India.
Founded in 2006, GHHF advocates an ideology known as Hindutva, or extremist Hindu supremacism, which holds that India belongs solely to Hindus to the exclusion of an estimated 220 million Indian Christians and Muslims, according to the statement.
