More than 300 Christian leaders in the United States, including denominational leaders, are calling on the U.S. State Department to designate India as a “Country of Particular Concern” amid escalating violations of religious freedoms, especially against Christians.
A letter sent earlier this month responds to increasing violence and systemic persecution under the Hindu nationalist government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The signatories include a wide range of church leaders from various denominations, with 18 bishops, three archbishops and numerous clergy and leaders from theological schools and Christian organizations.
