Why do Christians get away? - Page 3

But Christians are both a minority and not so well off in India. How does that power influence theory apply on our nation St.T?
My idea is that they are too small a minority in India to create a big news of anything. The richest and most powerful people in India are Hindus,many influential people in india are Muslims(our vice president,kalam sir,khans of bollywood,etc) ultimately proving that power influence theory wrong.

It does apply. Try and kill hundreds of Goans and the Holy See will come into play. Christians are a very small minority in India, but they are protected due to the Holy See and also your Constitution.

As for your country, I am a citizen of India too so it can also be my country as I have an Indian residency :) ... the reason I write here too. Hindi bol sakti bhi :)

Christians have a very large population in India now. In Andhra, every third person is a Xtian due to YSR's and WTE' efforts. Same in north-east and many other states.

Killing Christians or anyone for that matter will provoke reactions. Hence its an invalid argument. And BTW,what is this 'your constitution' and 'your country' when you say you are an Indian? And why do you mention that here?
Some irrelevant information from my side now: I was a British and Christian by birth.😳

But now they state their religion as Hindu and use Hindu names. I've been to these places and all the locals know about it.

Curious to know: why do you think they do so? For reservation? To mix in ? Why?

Christians as far as I know, constitute the third largest majority community in India. As many as five States have a Christian-majority population. Though religion-based militancy/insurgency/extremism is a thing as of yet unknown.

I think I misinterpreted your previous post :). I come from Ukraine, and I settled in India, so as being white I am always considered a European. I don't think I will leave this country as i now have family here, and "our country" seemed like only yours :D so I argued, now I think my English is not so good either. I am both Ukrainian by birth and race but Indian my current circumstances. Yes, it is irrelevant.

Christians, I still think, always hold an upper hand for the global power balance.

Globally: maybe yes.
In India: definitely no.
Off topic: hi*5 😃
'our' ..as you've realized was both of us.
I understand we whites are seen as foreigners in India and hence that was your immediate response.
I know that feels..😆😵

I often wonder how it must be in the thousands of villages in India. I only went to one village, but it was not really so much for going as I was mostly in a house and visited some selected houses and spots.

Perhaps one can say that the more westernized a nation becomes, Christianity influences it more? Therefore, on a global stage, Christianity seems to hold the major voice, while locally it depends on how much they are globalized?

I have the knowledge that Indian Metros are a whole different story compared to its smaller cities, towns, townships and villages. Perhaps the character is different too.
