Hyderabad (Telangana) – A Hindu family living in a building in Hyderabad, drew Rangoli outside the door of their house on Diwali. A Christian family living in front of their house objected to the Rangoli and asked them to wipe it. When the Hindu family refused, the Christian family wiped the Rangoli and kicked the earthen lamp placed there.

The Christian woman threatened to beat up the Hindu family. Her son started abusing the Hindu family. When the video of the incident went viral on social media, Hindu organisations protested outside the building and the Police registered a case against the Christian family.

ईसाई फैमिली ने हिन्दू परिवार द्वारा जलाये गए दियों को लात मारकर तोड़ दिया।

क्यो.. क्योकि वो दीवाली नही मनाते..

परिवार को चप्पल दिखाकर मारने की कोशिश भी की। भाग्यनगर (हैदराबाद) में हिंदू दमन जारी। pic.twitter.com/07vHqKNKeW

Editorial Viewpoint

Is it that secularism should be followed only by Hindus while people of other sects continue to attack Hindus on the basis of religion ? This must stop. Hindus should unite and protest in a lawful manner against this !
