Episode notes
Systematic Persecution of Christians
- Attacks on Christians in India rose sharply under BJP, with police often complicit in violence and arrests without evidence of forced conversions.
- The judiciary has failed to protect minorities, allowing systematic persecution to continue across states like Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
Anti-Conversion Laws as Tools
- Anti-conversion laws are misused to target Christians, not to prevent actual conversions.
- The main goal is to stop peaceful Christian activities like prayer meetings, not to address any genuine crime.
Kerala Nuns Facing Persecution
- Kerala nuns working in tribal and northern states face constant fear and violence despite their welfare work.
- Their convents lack security, highlighting the vulnerability of missionaries amid growing hostility.
