Story number 4 for 14 May 2001

(India) — Next, people in India are coming to Christ in large numbers, which is angering Hindus in the country. Christians AND Muslims are the targets of a new attack. According to Open Doors with Brother Andrew, two Hindu right wing groups want the minority groups to change their names to Indian names, which they believe would effectively cut spiritual links with “foreign sources”. The demand comes on the heals of a report suggesting 30-thousand people have become Christians in the state of Sikkim in the last 25 years. There were only 25 known Christians before that.
