PETITION TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
We urge President Obama to request India's Prime Minister to preserve and promote the religious freedom of minorities.
We urge President Obama to convey to Mr.Modi, our concerns about escalating violence against India's Christian minority (physical & verbal abuse, arson of churches, forcible re-conversion ).
A few Hindu leaders of his coalition have also provoked concerns among many Indians, through their directives to Heads of Christian Schools to install Hindu idols, forbid students to address Catholic Cleric-teachers as "Fathers" but as "Acharyas" etc.
Mr. Modi recently ordered the renaming of Christmas holiday as Good Governance Day.
Mr. Modi remained silent whenever these issues were raised in Parliament, as he did during the 2002
