15th September, 2008 : Christian Bandh in Mangalore

The bandh had very little response but the agony was clear. The Christians were attacked for reasons that saffron forces say is grave and so in retaliation they claimed to have attacked the Churches. The attack by right-wing Hindu groups was to protest alleged conversion activities by Christians and distribution of literature insulting Hindu gods, specifically by a sect called the New Life Fellowship. The sect leaders have refuted the charges.
