Systematic Targeting of Christians in India says EFIRLC Report
AC Michael
The Religious Liberty Commission of the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFIRLC) has documented 334 incidents of systematic targeting against Christian communities across India between January and July 2025. These verified cases represent a sustained pattern of violations affecting Christians in 22 states and union territories, with incidents occurring consistently every month.
Uttar Pradesh recorded 95 incidents while Chhattisgarh documented 86 incidents, together accounting for 54% of all violations. These states have emerged as areas where Christian families face immediate violence and prolonged legal challenges under anti-conversion laws. The systematic nature across multiple states indicates widespread challenges to religious freedom requiring urgent attention.
The documented evidence indicates urgent need for intervention to restore constitutional protections. Law enforcement agencies must fulfill their constitutional duty to protect all citizens regardless of faith. The systematic misuse of anti-conversion laws requires immediate review to ensure alignment with constitutional principles. Authorities must ensure extremist groups cannot disrupt religious gatherings and intimidate communities with impunity.
