Hindu Extremists Attack Church in Himachal Pradesh, India
Hindu extremists attacked 62-year-old Pastor Feroz Masih in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh on November 4, accusing him of “forcibly converting” Hindus and severely beating him.The attackers then forced Masih to sign a document saying he was willing to participate in a ceremony planned for Sunday (November 20), in which all 60 members of his church would be converted back to Hinduism.
If the pastor and other church members refused to take part, the extremists said, they would be burned to death.
Following the attack, the extremists told Masih they would come to his house on Sunday and conduct a Hindu program in which the Gita, the Hindu scripture, would be read and all Christians would be converted back to Hinduism.
“Then they forced my father to sign a paper saying that he was willing to reconvert himself and his church members to Hinduism,” Ramesh Masih said. “They also warned him that he, along with all the believers, would be burned alive if they refused to reconvert. They also threatened to burn down the believers’ houses.”
