Orissa: Anti-Christian campaign in Orrisa spread to three hundred villages, resulting in almost five thousand burned homes, fifty thousand displaced people, eighteen thousand injuries, and more than one hundred deaths.
As many as five hundred Christians killed, many hacked to death by machete wielding Hindu radicals, thousands more were injured, and at least fifty thousand were left homeless. Many Christians fled to hastily prepared displacement camps, where some languished for two years or more. An estimated five thousand Christian homes along with 350 churches and schools were destroyed. A Catholic nun Sr. Barwa was raped during the mayhem, then marched naked through the streets and beaten. Police sympathetic to the radicals discouraged the nun from filing a report and declined to arrest her attackers.
