New Delhi\"\": The alarming rise in violence against Christians in India since 2014 when Modi regime came into power has emerged as a grave human rights concern, with rights groups warning that systematic attacks are eroding the country\u2019s secular and democratic foundations.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, states enforcing anti-conversion laws have become epicenters of persecution, where Christians are subjected to mob violence, false accusations and the destruction of places of worship. The persecution blatantly contravenes India\u2019s constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and equality, as well as international human rights treaties including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).<\/p>\n

Observers note that Hindu nationalist forces are leveraging state machinery and legal frameworks to marginalize minorities, while law enforcement agencies\u2019 failure to hold perpetrators accountable perpetuates a culture of impunity. This dehumanizing campaign equates minority religious identity with illegitimacy and exclusion, undermining the rule of law.<\/p>\n

International human rights bodies have condemned the abuses as violations of freedom of religion, peaceful assembly and protection from discrimination. Analysts caution that India\u2019s ongoing repression of Christians signals a dangerous shift away from its secular ideals, raising serious global concern over the protection of minority rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
