With over 28 million Christians or 2.3% of the population, Christianity is currently the third-largest religion in India, behind Hinduism and Islam.
Especially in locations where Christians make up a minority, Christianity in India has also encountered difficulties and conflicts. Instances of violence motivated by religion against Christians have occurred, and some states have passed legislation limiting religious conversion and the right of assembly and speech for religious minorities.
Considering the aforementioned difficulties, many Christians in India are engaged in their communities, offering social and educational services to people of all religions and pushing for religious freedom and human rights. Many Christians participate in interfaith projects and engagement with religious leaders in India, where Christian churches continue to play a significant role in the social, cultural, and political landscape of the nation.
