Delhi is India's national capital and its security and police report directly to the Union home ministry headed by Hindu supremacist BJP's Amit Shah, who is 2nd only to Modi.

Previously these armed and violent Hindu suprmacist mobs used to target Muslims during their Friday prayers, now they've expanded to target Christians.

The poor oppressed Christians... /s

- Mate I'm generally not a big fan of Christianity but there's a time and a place. Minority groups being violently oppressed by the fundamentalist religious majority (who are literally calling for an end to secularism) fucking sucks.
  
  I'm not a big fan of organised religion in general but you won't see me celebrating whenever the Americans drone strike a Muslim wedding or European neo-nazis burn down a synagogue, even if I fundamentally disagree with some of the beliefs of the victims of those hate crimes.

  No, but I'm also not in favor of the persecution that Christians put on others.

- In this case, yes. They’re a minority religion in India.

- No, that’s actual persecution. It’s not the “religious freedom” nonsense prevalent in the US.

- Christianity in India is a super small minority, and a large number of Christians are descendants of people from marginalized communities, who converted to escape persecution by 'upper caste' Hindus.
  
  Regardless of whether one agrees with the ideas of Christianity is irrelevant here. This is an attack by a militant offshoot of a Hindu-supremacist political party, which has been in power for two terms now. Very 1930s Germany vibes here.

  RSS, the ideological parent of Hindu supremacism, was modeled on fascism & Nazism.
