India: forced to bow down to idols
Morning Star News / International Christian Concern
Christians who worshipped privately
in
their homes in a village in eastern India
were dragged to local leaders in June and
forced to bow to a goddess idol.
The mob action on 14 June followed an
announcement two days earlier by the heads
of Mahuatoli village, Gumla District
in
Jharkhand state, that 12 Christian families
would be banished if they did not return
to the tribal Sarna religion. Also threatened
with death, most of the Christian families
have fled the village.
