Christians take to streets to protest as attacks on them continue
29-09-2008
Traffic came to a standstill in central Bangalore in Karnataka state on 25 September, as thousands of Christians took part in protest rallies against a wave of violence directed against them in eight of India's regional states, reports Ecumenical News International.
At the end of a rally organized by the Karnataka Christian Federation, participants staged a sit-down protest in front of a statue of Mahatma Gandhi, the campaigner for Indian independence, who was known for his advocacy of non-violence.
More than 100 churches and Christian institutions are reported to have been attacked, and tens of Christians have died, in the violence that broke out following the killing in August 2008 of a Hindu leader, Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati.
