Hindu Radicals storm Christian school in India

A group of Hindu radicals stormed St. Joseph's Convent Christian School in India, reports James Varghese, special to ASSIST News Service.

The incident occurred on April 7 at Raigad in Mahashtra State.

According to a story on www.persecution.in, the radicals were demanding that photographs of Hindu deities be put up inside the school.

The web site reported that when a school parent tried to argue with the approximately 50 radicals in support of the school administrator, a nun, he was assaulted in full view of everyone there.

The school, which was established in 2002, serves children between kindergarten and the fourth grade. It caters to poor children from surrounding villages.
