8:11Now PlayingViolence against Christians has been on the rise in India ever since the Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, came to power in 2014. That's according to the rights group United Christian Forum. It says there were more than 800 attacks on Christians last year - a nearly sevenfold increase in a decade. Among the victims are members of India's Adivasi community, many of whom converted to Christianity decades ago.
Much of the violence is concentrated in India’s Bastar region of Chhattisgarh state. DW Correspondent Adil Bhat traveled there to document the religious tensions, and witnessed efforts by right-wing nationalists to push conversions to Hinduism.
