India has proposed a National Christian Welfare Board to address issues affecting Christians, particularly those related to personal law and community practices. Although the media announced the proposal last week, no formal government statement has been made. The proposal has already sparked debate among Christian organizations and politicians about its scope and intent, with some arguing it could undermine church autonomy. The BJP government occasionally tries to attract minority Christians with such proposals, yet has not taken clear, visible action against hate speech and violence targeting Christians nationwide.
