A lot of issues that Christians are facing in India doesn't get talked about in the mainstream media. Due to the rise of the PM modi of India, Hindu nationalism has become very widespread whereas before it existed but was more hidden.

Founders of hindu nationalism also know as hindutva include members like savarkar who was a staunch admirant of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
In their mindset Christians don't belong in India.

Christians are subjugated to horrific crimes once their Christian identity is revealed and often denied jobs and services. Christians are not allowed to eat beef either as theres a chance of being lynched by the cow vigilantes. Churches are usually burnt down and are paraded infront of by hindu mobs.
With the help of the government, BJP workers are force converting Chrsitians from poor backgrounds.
Just last year around 300 churches were burnt by Hindu mobs.

I wish you all could pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in India as they are going through a very tough time, not only them but Muslims and people from low castes are facing a similar faith.

Here are two prayers for persecuted Christians, one Catholic and one Protestant. I pray for these individuals that these folks may be released from the chains of persecution.

Catholic Prayer: Traditional Prayers for Persecuted Christians | Latin Mass Society
Almighty, everlasting God, look with compassion on all those who suffer persecution for justice’ sake. Grant them grace to carry their cross with patience in the name of Thy beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let the chalice pass from them is such by Thy holy Will: yet, in all things, may Thy Will be done. Grant to those who persecute, light to see the truth, and the grace of mercy and forgiveness, for they know not what they do. Mary, Mother of Jesus, Comfort of the Afflicted, help thy children in their time of bitter trial. O Lord our God, by the sign of Thy holy cross deliver us from our enemies.

Protestant (Lutheran) Prayer: Prayers
Heavenly Father, in the midst of our sufferings for the sake of Christ grant us grace to follow the example of the first martyr, Stephen, that we also may look to the One who suffered and was crucified on our behalf and pray for those who do us wrong; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
