The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to unequivocally condemn attacks on Christians and places of worship and to ensure the protection of religious minorities in keeping with India’s constitutional values.
India has witnessed as many as 378 incidents of violence against Christians in the first half of 2025, according to an ecumenical think tank based in New Delhi.
Every day, two Christians in India face attacks, according to the United Christian Forum (UCF), an ecumenical organisation that compiles data on atrocities against Christians.
