The world’s second most populous country, India offers a vast array of languages, and cultures. India gave birth to Hinduism, but hosts the world’s second largest Muslim population. Also the world’s largest democracy, India suffers with corruption resulting in great economic disparity. The leading Hindu nationalist party continues to bring unabated Christian persecution. This year, Prime Minister Modi’s re-election brings fears of his growing control and authority over the nation and the power of his Hindu agenda. India also moved to withdraw the special privileges of disputed territory, Kashmir. Protected by a militant branch of Hinduism, radical Hindus attack Christian Hindu Background Believers with impunity. Although the Indian constitution allows for the freedom of religion, many Indian states have adopted anti-conversion legislation.
