Govt deploys more police in Orissa after religious clashes
Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:37pm IST
Hundreds more police were sent to Orissa, in India after someone was killed and others injured in yet more fights between Hindu’s and Christians. Christians’ have responded with some violence. More than 3,000 federal police have been sent into that region. Because the violence continues thousands of Christians live in government camps due to their homes being burnt down.
Although India hasn’t always had a history of attacks on the minority Christians the problems have risen in the last two decades. The Hindu’s biggest problem with the Christians is that they say they are trying to convert the lower-caste Hindu’s. Again as in my last article it is mentioned that over twenty churches have been burnt by Hindu’s nationalists “rule or share power in the three states were Christians’ have come under attack. I really hope that this situation is handled better and that more control over the situation is taken. It is so sad that all this violence is taking place.
