Portrait of Princess Victoria Gouramma holding a Bible, by Franz Xaver Winterhalter. Princess Gouramma, the daughter of Chikka Virarajendra, the last King of Coorg, was baptised in 1852.

Princess Gouramma’s conversion to Christianity was not an act of self-will but a colonial performance of care and conquest using religion as a tool to remake her into an ornamental proof of the Empire’s “civilizing” power. journals.openedition.org/cve/12760

Female Hindutva thugs threaten to punch Syro‑Malabar Catholic nuns of the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate in the face. This is not uncommon; almost every month, Catholic priests and nuns face harassment or violence in northern India. This is what Christians in 🇮🇳 go through

Before their arrest, the Catholic nuns were illegally detained, harassed, and humiliated by Bajrang Dal’s Jyoti Sharma and her team, all in full view of the police, who stood by in silence. 🛑No FIR against Jyoti Sharma yet. Is this democracy or mobocracy?

Meitei militants brutally attacked immigrant Santhal Adivasis. One of the victims, Bithu Murmu, belongs to the same clan as the Indian president. Yet, the President remains a mute spectator.
