‘Hurt sentiments led to attack on church’
Janakriram, a coffee grower, said that the hillock known as Rashi Gudda had a cave with a small opening. Hindus used to visit the spot, drop stones into the cave and listen the echoing sound.Later, Christian coffee growers bought the entire hillock and helped a church come up right at the place. The opening to the cave was closed and the hillock rechristened as ‘Shilibe Gudda, which hurt Hindu sentiments. This resentment led to attack on a church at Maagud near Aldoor, Janakiram told the Commission. The Commission also accepted the statement of N Shetroji Rao, a retired government employee.

Of late attacks on Christian community, Pastors and places of worship in India has increased, the reason cited is UNETHICAL CONVERSION. Most of the time the blame is on the right wing Hindu outfits. Agreed indulging in physical violence on the part of right wing groups is deplorable, when they should have taken up the matter legally. At the same time the main culprits behind the backlash are the pastors of new-generation alternative churches/ministries who are fundamentalist to the core. The mainstream Christians should take proactive steps to stop this conversion menace for the overall betterment of the Christian community because these guys are also converting the mainstream Christians into their fundamentalist fold which is highly deplorable and detrimental in the long run.
