The Hinduist party in India- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has decried Benedict XVI for his statements praying for peace (12/10/08) in India, saying that India is "sovereign" (13/10/08), a method often used by the American Anti-Catholic movement until and including recent times to attack Catholics. The party stated that Benedict XVI, as a foreign religious leader had no right to object about or pray for peace on the genocide occurring in India against Christians and in particular Catholics at the moment. Efforts to aid genocide are to be considered issues by which guilt is shared. What is occurring in India is genocide if we take the UN definition- and those aiding it are guilty of aiding and abetting genocide.

The Holy Father (EWTN 13/10/08)also yeasterday canonized India's first female saint- St. Alfonsa of the Immaculate Conception 1910-1946. He noted, so in line with the current genocide in India- that this saint not only lived in perpetual issues, hardships, trials, and sufferings- but believed these to be her path God-given to God's salvation.

Those committing genocide against our Christian brothers and sisters claim they are doing the work of the Hindu faith. International organizations, while noting the defamatory comments made by many of the Hindu leaders against Catholics and other Christians in recent times, also believe that the real reason for the genocide is that Christianity has been disrupting the Indian cast system, where one's lot in life is settled by the position of their parents. None of the excuses given by the Hindu nationalists can justify the thousands affected by their tactical, calculated genocide. These recent statements by a Hinduist party show just how shocking the negligence of the Indian government. Christians have accused police of standing by doing nothing, while watching these calculated assaults take place. The assaults have not been prevented by the Indian government in refugee camps- forcing many Christians to flee to the jungles, where they face, and some have realized the deadly effect of- threats from natural causes.
