An Appeal for Equality:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
@USCIS has been giving out over 6,000 R1/R2 Religious visas each year -including to thousands of Hindu priests & ministers who openly proselytize in Europe & the US.
All thanks to freedom of religion & equality!
That's great.
BUT..

@USCIRF MUST ensure that
@MEAIndia @HMOIndia extends the same courtesy to foreign Christian teachers & preachers visiting India.
Currently, Indian laws prohibit proselytizing specifically for Christians and is thus discriminatory and anti-freedom of religion & liberty.

A meager 100 Christian institutions, catering to over 28 million Indian Christians, are only allowed to have visiting teachers, priests & ministers from abroad. Their visas are also subjected to unfair rules & restrictions mentioned above. This is how targeted harassment works.
US & Europe allows unlimited flow of funds for all hindu religious activities. While the current Indian (hindu supremacist) govt is harassing Indian Christians by blocking funds to their institutions which are desperately needed for upkeep & maintenance. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/government-suspends-fcra-clearance-of-4-christian-groups/article32535766.ece
As of now licenses of 20,674 NGOs have been canceled including the likes of Leprosy support units.
We don't oppose the free flow of funds or tax exemptions given to our brothers in Hinduism but we merely ask for the same courtesy to be extended to the 28million Indian Christians

@OHCHRAsia @ohchr must take note on how freedom of religion or belief #FORB & rights to liberty is being systematically violated for minorities in India.
This has getting worse.

@GovernmentIndia @PMOIndia is encouraging discrimination & hate speech against Christians through its DELIBERATE silence & inaction.
Many such examples exists:

Religion based Hatred & Propaganda of lies against Christians is being systematically spread via social media which has direct repercussions.
@Twitter @TwitterIndia WILL be made liable for failing to curtail hate speech in spite of repeated reporting.

Stories of new persecution is reported everyday. This trend is on its way up. Fear stops most of our journalists from covering such stories. https://twitter.com/CSW_UK/status/1304048236932608000?s=19
Indian Christians can only dream of freedom which hindus enjoy in the west.
No lynching, no heckling, no abuse, no murder, no demolition of places of worship.
Why this inequality? https://twitter.com/IskconInc/status/1309695664872288256?s=19
