Christians up in arms after Hindu attack

What's up with this?

RELIGIOUS tensions between the minority Christians and the overwhelming Hindu majority in the northern Indian city of Lucknow intensified yesterday when 16 Catholic schools in the district remained closed after an attack by extremists on the local Loretto Convent.

Some other English-language schools were also closed to express their solidarity with the besieged Catholics.

Security personnel were deployed around all missionary schools alongside civilian police to guard against any renewal of the violence of last weekend, when militants of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha reportedly attacked the convent.
