MUMBAI, India — Hindu extremists in India’s Maharashtra state recently assaulted Christians who still remained after a previous attack on believers. In the first incident, they attacked Christians because they refused to honor a tribal deity — violence that led many to flee their homes, Morning Star News (MS) sources said.
In the second attack, as police stood by watching, about 100 club-bearing Hindu extremists disrupted worship at the house of Ravindra Shankar Ander in Tamsai village, Thane District, India, and kicked, slapped and beat those present with their fists, Sainath Amboraote told MS by phone.
The extremists did not use their wooden clubs as they did in the previous attack in late December.
The more than 100 Christians who fled from the area are afraid to return to their homes after the attacks.
