Christians worried as Hindu festival nears

Christians worried as Hindu festival nears

http://www.cathnewsindia.com/2011/01...estival-nears/

"..........The main aim of the festival, according media reports is to “return” tribal Christians to Hinduism, which the organizers claim is “their original religion.”

Media reports also suggested that hardline Hindu activists accused of terror attacks in various parts of India are backing the ghar vapasi (homecoming), or the religious re-conversion.

Local Christians plan to appeal to the collector, the highest-ranking government official in a district, for protection during the fair, Father Thomas said............"

Maybe Hindu's ain't as laid back - for the most part - as I was thinking. Ah, probably just some right wing nut cases.
