A rationale offered for violence against Christians in India is that the community is growing at an alarming rate through forced conversions. It is frequently alleged that Christian Missionaries malign Hinduism, offer beef (cow beef is illegal in India), convert poor lower caste & tribal Hindus on economic & social basis; by luring them with money, cycles, jobs, claiming magic heals, and even false stories, like Jesus was Krishna's friend, & the latter sent him to spread new religion. It is also said that Partisan politics and the Hindu awakening by various Hindu organizations contribute to anti-Christian violence.
