Christian Emigration From The Indian Subcontinent
Christians have also fled Pakistan, especially in response to the increased violence towards Christians after the start of the 2001 War on Terrorism. Christians are also emigrating from India too especially from the states of Goa and the converts to Christianity who have left, due to the persecution and discrimination many of them have faced in Jobs, Social life, and family at the hands of the Hindu Majority. Many have realized, that India is a Hindu majority land and will continue to be so, thus giving the logical conclusion to preserve their own faith and grow it in other nations.

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or indian:
“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
