Pew
Research Center in a 2009 published a international report on social
hostility and religious discrimination and in this report a paper was
published titled 'Rise of Hindu Extremism'. The Pew report was given extensive coverage in the media and sensationalised under the title ‘India is next only to Iraq on religious discrimination’ blaming Hindu groups for religious strife. The report and media stories are completely silent on Christian evangelical
provocation and propaganda which stir relgious conflict. We in India
know how untrue and wrong this comparison and how different it is at the
ground level.
The Pew
report cites various unverified second hand sources giving a one sided
view portraying Christian missionaries as victims of targeted violence and building an image that Hindus as well the local administration are
attacking Christians. These reports never publish that Christian
missionaries use offensive and hateful language against Hinduism and
distribute literature that are inflamatory in nature.
Independent local sources have revealed that these hate filled speech
and literature are planed in order to provoke a reaction from the local
population so that any action can be used as 'atrocity literature'. Most accounts are exaggerated by Chrisitian news letters and online magazines without citing the reason for the attack if any.
