Let me specifically answer the question C'da has raised: In Kohima, the sole Hindu temple was brought down with total connivance of the local government, police and offcourse the mobs. LK Advani was enraged. I think this was last year.
Pashupatinath Mandir in Senapati district of Manipur was burnt down in 1995 by the NSCN. And there are offcourse systemic injustices perpetrated against the Riyangs in Mizoram because they are Hindus. Maybe when I have some more time, I will come out with a longer list. You could google and find out the truths about some of these. It would be laughable idea if someone says there is no Christian hegemony in some of the states. It would be even more laughable if some one says the Church does not bless such "atrocities". --- Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I would suggest that she also make a trip to the > North East - > >Meghalaya, >Tripura or Mizoram and see how Hindus > are treated there > >by the tribal > Christians. > > > > **** How are Hindus treated there?
