Kandhamal is burning and the world has sat up to take note. Thousands of Christians are driven from their homes, entire villages burned, hundreds of Churches destroyed and countless lives broken.

The Christian community is experiencing a genocide and things are going to get out of hand real fast. Unless the government stop the Hindu radicals, then as John Locke would say - then what good is government that cannot protect the governed?

This will either make or break the state of Orissa. 2 things will happen. The killings must be stopped and leaders responsible be jailed or India is going to experience one of the biggest bloodbaths in its history - but it won't be the Christians that won't be dieing.

The untouchables in India are sick of their mistreatment in the Caste System and something like this can set off the spark that can ignite the Indian society.

Pregnant Christian women were sliced to death Pastors and Priests killed or forced to inhumane acts 30,000 Christians "reconverted" to Hinduism. Let the facts speak for themselves!
  • throw away the fucking missionaries from india,why ha the fucking goverment not done anything abt conversions when the issue dates back and gave rise to revolt of 1857??? why they stopped sati why not conversion is fucking india still independent or its a act to pretend,fucking polticians???

  • Because, Kapil, you have to learn that India is a DEMOCRACY WITH FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

    If you do not know what that means, it MEANS you can CHOOSE what religion you want to follow.

    Conversions have nothing to do with issue at Orissa. It is a social issue and religious intolerance.

    Also cause the Radical Hindu groups are afraid of large amount of people leaving Hinduism (the untouchables caste is leaving Hinduism - so the Radicals are mad and scared).

  • After watching, I can't believe how vindictive and intolerant (in the true sense of the word) the local Hindus are toward Dalit Christians.

  • Its not because of just their social background, but also because these Dalits (untouchables) are leaving Hinduism largely because of the caste system and social hardships and becoming Christians.

    In many districts of Orissa, Christian demographics have risen considerably, as high as 25% Christians in the Kandhamal district (site of the main violent oppressions).

  • Jesus could have very well have saved himself from death on the cross, but then the work of our salvation would not be accomplished.He chose to die for the sins of the world. The penalty for sin is death and if Christ hadn't gone to the cross, each of us would have to die for our own sin.

  • Hindus awake! Do not be deceived the upper castes who are using us as baits to devour those that helped us come out of our poverty. We are not slaves to anybody. We will not take up arms to kill our own brothers and sisters. Whatever religion they may profess, they are our brothers and we will defend them.

  • fucking indians, they are animals

  • The root cause is conversions. Stop conversions.

  • @mishudam33 You pathetic phony pretending to be lower caste. This violence was not by upper caste Hindus but by tribals who are partially converted to Hinduism who are fed up of Christian aggression. Disgusting attempt at misrepresenting the issue.

  • @silversspring Genocide my ass, they are just giving as good as they have been getting. Minorities that don't use violence are untouched. Anyways the tribals that were involved in this violence are only partly converted to Hinduism. Many follow their traditional tribals religious beliefs.

    And Hindu simply means "Indian" in Persian, so yes India is their fathers' property if you want to want to make an issue of it.

  • @HillTowerProductions typical BS attempt to distort caste issues to smear Hindus. Behind the clashes are long-simmering tensions between equally impoverished groups, the Kandha TRIBALS, who are 80% of the population, and the Panna who are Christians and attempting to grab tribal land.

    Your inflammatory fabrications are despicable. Hope you feel good about yourself exploiting the religious angle to this tragedy. CHRISTIANS ARE BEING PERSECUTED PLEASE SEND US MONEYYY!!!!!!

  • I am sorry, I am taking my words back, I do agree that nothing justify killing.

  • You hypocrite. You have favorited video's of Gandhi on your channel page and yet here you are with words full of wickedness, violence and hate. Do you think he would be impressed by you and your wicked ways ? Gandhi brought great honor to India. He elevated India, he brought esteem, respect. But your small minded wickedness brings you nothing but dishonor and disgrace. The likes of you would make India an untouchable among the nations.
