During Christmas last year, many places across North India witnessed incidents of violence against the Christian community. Some groups, with links to the Sangh Parivar, disturbed Carol services, vandalised church properties, and threatened the clergymen, among other things. Sadly, these incidents are no longer rare exceptions.
Unfortunately, 2025 has been a particularly disturbing year, as such incidents have spread to new areas. For instance, Kerala, a state historically renowned for its communal harmony and social cohesion, witnessed an unruly incident that marred the Christmas celebration. It occurred at Pudussery, Palakkad, when a Carol group comprising children was visiting the homes of church members. Although there was no major violence, the very existence of such threats in Kerala signifies a negative trend.
