(From Christian Post, June 23, 2025, christianpost.com) At least two attacks on Christians are being reported every day in India this year, according to new figures released by a Christian advocacy group.
A total of 313 incidents were recorded between January and May alone, based on calls to a toll-free helpline run by the New Delhi-based inter-denominational body United Christian Forum, according to the Union of Catholic Asian News.
The pattern of violence has intensified steadily over the past decade, UCF data shows. The organization logged 834 incidents of attacks on Christians in 2024, up from 734 in 2023 and 601 in 2022.
A.C. Michael, UCF’s national convenor and a former member of the Delhi Minorities Commission, told UCA News the incidents include “viral hate, brutal mob violence and rampant social ostracization,” pointing to Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as the most severely affected states.
In 2024, Uttar Pradesh reported 209 incidents, the highest in the country, followed by 165 in Chhattisgarh. By the end of May, Chhattisgarh had already recorded 64 cases of violence against Christians, with Uttar Pradesh close behind at 58.
Christian activist Minakshi Singh, based in Uttar Pradesh, was quoted as saying that a large number of these attacks are driven by accusations of forced conversions.
Singh rejected the claims, calling them baseless. To read the complete story, click this Link
