Andhra temple vandalism: How churches in the West harm overseas communities
Channel: George Anderson
Date: 2021-01-05

My video-editing skills are quite basic. My apologies for the low quality.

After the recent vandalism cases in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, I decided to rattle together a video outlining how these incidents are linked to churches in the West. The main aims of the video are:

1) To make Hindus and non-Hindus aware of why Christianity and Christian proliferation cause tension;

2) To make Christians in the West aware that some of the (mission) organisations that claim to be uplifting overseas communities are actually causing damage.

This video in no way intends to spread prejudice or hatred against any particular group. Any inflammatory comments using derogatory buzz-terms such as "rice-bag", "bhakt", "sanghi", "Modi supporter" (etc) will aptly be deleted.
