    its nothing new. JESUS has already warned 2000 years back about this persecution! John15:18-19 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

    This Double Engine Growth of Double Engine Govt happens only in BJP ruled states. Non-BJP ruled states have no such issues and no complaints have been filed by anyone and people are happy with social growth and economic development of those states.

    If Priests used to only convert Hindu's to Christians....the entire nation would have converted to Christianity in 75 Years. But why the percentage of Christians decreasing ?
