Since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in 2014, Hindu nationalism has become a normalized political platform. This normalization has had dire consequences for the country’s religious minorities. According to the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI), violent attacks on Indian Christians have more than doubled the recent years. In 2014, the year the BJP rose to political power, EFI recorded 147 violent attacks on Indian Christians. In 2019, after five years of BJP rule, EFI recorded 366 violent attacks.
