Professor Chad Bauman of Indiana’s Butler University is an expert in Hindu-Christian relations. His book, Anti-Christian Violence in India, was published in September 2020. In it, Bauman describes the different theoretical approaches regarding anti-Christian violence in India, while laying out the history of Hindu-Christian relations and looking at the increasing persecution which has been afflicting Indian Christians.
Surprisingly, anti-Christian violence was rare in India until recently. Christianity is far from new in the overwhelmingly Hindu country, having first been introduced to India by Thomas the Apostle.
In recent years though, anti-Christian sentiments have grown more common, which is increasingly resulting in violence at a time when Hindu nationalism is experiencing a resurgence.
