Hindu Mob Attacks House Church, Beats Pastor in India
Christian Post reports on a violent attack against a house church in India, where a Hindu mob targeted a congregation, beating the pastor and subjecting him to the cruel punishment of being forced to walk on thorns. The assault underscores the growing pattern of religious intolerance and mob violence directed at Christian communities in certain regions of India.
The incident is part of a broader trend of attacks on religious minorities in India, where house churches and small Christian congregations have been particularly vulnerable to vigilante violence. Rights organizations have documented an increase in such attacks, which often go unpunished due to local political dynamics and the influence of Hindu nationalist groups. The attack raises continued concerns about religious freedom and the safety of minority faith communities in the country.
