As many as 366 incidents of hate and targeted violence against Christians occurred in India in 2019, according to the Religious Liberty Commission (RLC), an initiative of the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI).

The report was released on March 13 in New Delhi.

A consummately organized hate campaign against India’s Muslim population, beginning mid-December 2019, and erupting in a pogrom in mid-February 2020 against them in their ghettos in the northeastern suburbs of the Indian capital city New Delhi, has not only delayed the analysis of the persecution of Christians in the year gone by but raised structural questions on the security of all religious minorities in the country, with questions for the Church and the Believers’ community, if they can ever think of a haven in their motherland where one group is so brutally targeted.
