Local police throughout \u200bIndia allow Hindu extremist mobs to attack\u2064 Christians without consequences.<\/p>\n<p>These \u200cparticular incidents, \u200dwhich happened\u2062 in\u200c May, have only now been \u200crevealed to the general\u2062 public. This is due to Manipur finding itself under an internet\u200b blackout for 80 days.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2062 that \u200bfootage has gone viral, it\u2062 has caused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NZyJ3tRAtW8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">severe anguish<\/a> among Hindus,\u2064 Muslims, Christians and others\u2062 who have not subscribed to the majoritarian Hindutva ideology sweeping\u2062 across India.<\/p>\n<p>As the actor and member of \u200dthe Indian Parliament <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/jaya-bachchan-reacts-viral-manipur-video-101689850007963.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jaya Bachchan<\/a> \u2064 put it, <strong>\u201cIt\u2019s very frustrating. Every day\u2064 something is happening with women. \u2026 Such humiliation. It\u2019s very saddening.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the \u200dnews of this violence emerges, the Christian identity of the Kuki population in Manipur\u2062 fails to make the headlines.\u200d But \u2062Indian authorities can no longer deny the reality that this is a religious\u2064 attack as well as a barbaric ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>When the vice president of the neighboring state of\u2062 Mizoram resigned, he \u200cstated that his own Bharatiya Janata Party has\u200d become an anti-Christian\u2063 party. This has brought\u2062 clearer\u200b awareness throughout India and the world that the rapes\u2063 and\u200c murders of numerous women, \u2062and the\u2063 burning of homes and churches, are targeted attacks against Kuki Christians.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it \u2063is obvious that these \u2062Christians are under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-ambassador-to-u-n-says-moscow-has-compiled-lists-of-ukrainians-to-target-after-invasion\/\" title=\"U.S. Ambassador to U.N. Says Moscow Has Compiled Lists of Ukrainians to Target After Invasion\">full-scale attack<\/a> by radicalized\u2064 Hindu groups\u2063 and\u200b that the \u2064police are ignoring this injustice.<\/p>\n<p>This is\u2063 not to say that Meitei Christians \u200chaven\u2019t suffered from ethnic violence as well. But\u2062 there is no denying the destruction of hundreds \u200dof churches, the massive number of displaced\u200d Kuki Christians, and the brutal rape\u200c of \u200ctheir women.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the\u200c outrage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke his silence on the breakdown\u2062 of law and order. He condemned the violence against these innocent\u200c Kuki women. Yet his statement veered into politics\u2062 by also mentioning violence against women in Rajasthan and Chattisgarh, which \u2063is ruled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-faces-first-main-foreign-policy-test-within-georgia\/\" title=\"Biden Faces First Main Foreign Policy Test within Georgia\">opposition party<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The human \u2064rights \u200dissue has tragically been politicized here\u2062 in India, as it \u2063often is\u200b throughout the world. \u200dIt\u2019s not only within the BJP. Other parties have also succumbed to this.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c India we knew is \u2064fast disappearing. \u2062This violent assault in Manipur\u200b points to the \u200dpossible\u2064 India of the \u200dfuture if we fail to awaken the Indian conscience\u200b across\u2062 religious and\u200d caste lines.<\/p>\n<p>Whether \u200cit\u2019s a Muslim, Christian, \u2064Hindu or Dalit woman who is raped \u200dand \u2062killed, all of India must \u2063speak\u2062 out as one if pure, unadulterated justice \u2062is\u200c the goal. All Indians must reject any\u2064 form \u2062of religious,\u200d caste or ethnic polarization that\u200d stands in the way of equal treatment under the law and any form of politics as\u200b it\u200c pertains to \u200dthese issues.<\/p>\n<p>Violence and sexual\u200d assault against any Indian woman is a travesty, no matter \u2062the background of\u200d the victim or the perpetrator. \u200bYet if hatred and bigotry continue to rule the day, as we\u2019ve witnessed in Manipur, India will descend further \u2064into chaos for women nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-christians-full-scale-attack-india\/\">Op-Ed: Christians Are Under\u200c Full-Scale Attack in India<\/a> appeared first\u2062 on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Vietnam War, a shocking image of a naked girl amidst napalm bombings deeply impacted American views on the war&#8217;s immorality.
