More than 80 incidents of violent attacks, hate speeches, and tensions were reported during the Christmas week across several states of India, putting holiday celebrations under a cloud of fear and hostility. Most of the incidents have been linked to groups affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and other right-wing Hindu organizations, most notably the Bajrang Dal, a militant wing of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), and others. Reports of attacks, intimidation, and disruptions targeting Christian gatherings, schools, and decorations surfaced from several states, including Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Uttarakhand, New Delhi, and Kerala.
