Tribal Christians In Mandla

The rising number of church attacks across the country has become a cause of worry in rural, tribal-dominated areas like Mandla of Madhya Pradesh. Of the 70% tribal population here, almost 50% are Christians.

Members of a Hindu religious group allegedly vandalised a church in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh late on Friday night where a Bible convention was being held. There were around 200 tribals present at the time of the incident; they had come to the church for the convention from Mandla District.
