Hindu-Christian clashes continue
27/9/08
The government yesterday deployed hundreds more federal policemen to eastern India after one person was killed and several injured in fresh clashes between Hindus and Christians triggered by religious conversions. More than 700 federal policemen are being sent to Orissa state after the death in rural Kandhamal district following clashes between Christians and Hindus on Thursday. Several houses were also set on fire. The violence came after a string of attacks on Christians in three Indian states that has left at least 20 people dead and dozens of churches damaged in the last month. Christians have responded with some violence in Orissa state.
