Imp. Info on Christians in India and worldwide.

INDIAN CHRISTIANS ( LIKE CHRISTIANS ELSEWHERE ) ARE THE MOST WELL EDUCATED, RESOURCEFUL, INTELLIGENT AND HONORABLE COMMUNITY IN INDIA.

Indian Christians lead and outscore all other religious communities ( including Hindu brahmin morons) in the highest literacy quotient, education excellence, highest income levels and better treatment of their women…despite all this they still have a tough time in the job market like anyone else. I fail to see the “Christian aggression”.
Christians in India should be proud to be the model community who despite being a tiny 2.3% of the Indian population have still contributed disproportionately to the intellegentia, science, economy and development of our state.”

Christians in India have delivered the finest and shaped the brightest minds of the country. It’s about time, the Hindu ingrates owe
