On last Christmas, Dec 25 2021, the government of India barred other Teresa’s operations of serving poor in India from receiving any donations from your churches or any other foreign entity. Mother Teresa won a Nobel Peace Prize for her selfless work running homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis.

On Christmas Eve, Hindu extremists burned effigies of Santa Claus and disrupted church services and Nativity plays, and vandalized statues of Jesus.

The New York Times estimates that there are 30 million Christians in India who are being attacked regularly while RSS-BJP led government remains silent or complicit.

India is a beautiful country, with a lovely culture, where Hindus, Muslims, and Christians have lived together for centuries. It now the only country in the world with two genocide alerts. India is falling apart at the hands of the extremists who praise the killer of Gandhi and where Hitler enjoys popularity, according to an Israeli essay. These extremists want to establish a Hindu only country. They are perhaps the reason why India today, is rated as the most racist country in the world according to the Washington Post. Amnesty was forced to leave India8 and other human rights activists are attacked so no one can dare to raise their voice.

BJP government is behind the thugs on the street. Its leaders are members of RSS whose member killed Gandhi.

Indian Media:

Very little media in India now is free and balanced. That is the reason India is rated at 142^nd level when it comes to media freedom by Reporters without Border.
