Forced Re-Conversions by Hindu Extremists are Growing in India
One ministry has 1,000 evangelists who will each share the message of Christ with 1,200 others.

(
MNN) Thousands of people in India are turning to Christ every week. Churches are growing. More people are becoming pastors, missionaries and evangelists. In addition, many Hindu nationalists aren't happy, and they're taking action.

Mission India's Dr. Kamala Chiranjeevi says forced re-conversions are becoming more common, and it's a well coordinated effort.

"It's a Hindu religious group, raising 100,000 coordinators, sending them to every district," Chiranjeevi says. "They are watching every movement. If there is any Christian activity they are going and attacking them and beating them."

However, the attacks are just the beginning, says Chiranjeevi, as these people are taken to the local Hindu temple.

"Inside the temple they are asking them to renounce their faith. And they will apply the red mark to their forehead. They say some rituals. And they take an Oath."According to Chiranjeevi, the re-conversion attacks are growing.
