India — Rising Attacks on Christians Reported Nationwide

March 2026, India (nationwide) — A detailed report by Morning Star News highlighted a continued rise in anti-Christian hostility across India, documenting hundreds of incidents including church attacks, harassment during worship, arrests under anti-conversion laws, and threats against pastors.
The report noted that many incidents occurred in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, where Christian communities reported disruption of prayer meetings and violence by extremist groups. Rights advocates stated that weak law enforcement response in several cases has contributed to a climate of fear among Christian minorities.
The findings point toward an increasing pattern of religious intolerance and restrictions on freedom of worship affecting minority communities in India.
