pastor in Bangalore beaten

I don't post these stories as often as I used to because it happens so frequently. But this one is so frightening....
A pastor who runs an orphanage and Bible college in Kothanur, Bangalore, was beaten Monday by a group of 35 men who damaged his legs and fractured bones his back and neck.

An associate of Dr. T.L. Angan Haokip, who contacted the New Delhi-based Christian Today newspaper, reported that the pastor was driving along a busy road in Geddalahalli village when a group of 35 men sporting long marks on their foreheads and wearing red threads on wrists stopped his vehicle and inquired if he was a pastor.

Upon discovering that Angam was a pastor, the men said, "It is because of you that the nation is getting ruined," according to the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), and proceeded to brutally beat him and assault him in full public view. They also damaged the jeep in which he was traveling...

Surprisingly, when the police were contacted, they were hesitant to file a complaint and even falsely accused the pastor of rash and negligent driving. The incident has shocked and alarmed the Christians of Bangalore, who are concerned about how the police have turned a blind eye to the incident.

Are Christians allowed to practice their religion in India? What are Indians so afraid of?
