Persecuted Indian Catholics

Persecution Of Indian Catholics is nothing new. It has been happening since the late 1980's.

Lately, some International Web Sites have picked up stories of the arrest of 2 Catholic Priests and a Catechist in the Eastern Indian State of Jharkhand. The Complete Destruction of an Indian Jesuit School Cum College in the State Of Jharkhand has been an Eye Opener.

Since 1987, The Persecution Of Indian Catholics specially Tribals and Low Castes has picked up pace all over the Country.

I distinctly remember that between 1987 and 1988 several Community Village Wells all along the Chota Nagpur Plateau were poisoned by Radicals so that the Tribal Catholics would get extremely sick and die.

In 1994, 2 Diocesan  Catholic Priests and a Seminarian were shot dead at a Parish not far from Ranchi b y Radicals. The Vicious Murderers were never caught. The Pre Meditated Act Of Murder was blamed on Maoist Guerillas who sometimes operate in the Forest Tracts of Eastern India.

In 1998, Scores Of Catholic Churches and Chapels were viciously burnt down in the Tribal Areas of the States of Gujarat and Rajasthan. No Need to guess who were the Forces behind these Malicious Acts.

In 2008, In The Eastern Indian State Of Orissa dozens of Low Caste Catholics were slaughtered and a number of Missionary Catholic Nuns were brutally gang raped.

Fast Forward Now to 2019, there have been attempts made all over India by Radicals to strangle numerous Catholic Priests and Nuns.

Whenever Catholic Churches Or Chapels Or Convents are Desecrated or set on fire now in 2019 the incidents are never investigated.

There are over 1 Million Tribal Catholics in Eastern India. What will happen to them ??

Unlike Catholics who live in Cities in India, these Tribal Catholics are at the mercy of radicals who can do with them as they please.

Basically, I would like to ask the Question ?? What is the Future Of Indian Catholicism ??
