Hindu Atrocity.

Young Christian woman raped by Hindu cousins, mother nearly killed in religiously motivated attack.

“Since we started to attend church six years ago, my father’s elder brother and his family have begun persecuting us in whatever way possible,” the woman, whose name is withheld as a rape victim, told Morning Star News.

Christian woman in India raped, mother beaten unconscious | Morning Star News

She said she was sowing corn in Chhattisgarh state’s Kondagaon District early in the morning of July 15 when her father’s brother, Chinta Naag, who lives nearby, came to the field with his three sons and told her, her 18-year-old sister and their mother to stop cultivating the land.

The family depends on the land for their living in a village undisclosed for security reasons. Her mother told Naag the land belonged to her deceased husband, that she rightfully owned it and that he could not stop her from working on it, she said. In the ensuing heated argument, she said, the men threatened to kill them.

Naag’s three sons — Mukesh Dugga, Suresh Dugga and Lokesh Dugga — then caught the 20-year-old woman by her hair and began dragging her toward their house, she said. Her mother tried to stop them, but Mukesh Dugga attacked her with a spade (shovel), the victim said.

“One cousin hit my mother on her head with the axe, and the second one hit her with a spade on her chest,” she said. “They hit her repeatedly, till she collapsed in a pool of her own blood.”

The three Hindus dragged the 20-year-old woman into their nearby house as neighbors only watched despite her pleas for help, she said.

“Nobody came to rescue me, as they dragged me by my hair and my sister stood crying near my mother’s body,” she said.

The men took her inside a room in the house, she said.

“Lokesh stood with the axe, threatening me to stay low and cooperate, otherwise he would kill me,” she said, her voice shaky. “Suresh Dugga caught hold of my neck, pressing my head to the floor, while Mukesh Dugga stripped my leggings and raped me.”

After the rape, when the men became a little distracted, the woman found an opportunity to flee. She headed straight to the nearby jungle, she said.

“My sister also joined me as I fled only with my upper garment,” said the woman, “leaving my mother’s body in the open.”

As the two women fled, the three men screamed at them, telling them not to report the crimes to police, she said, adding that Mukesh Dugga chased them into the jungle with the axe.

“We just ran with all our strength – we did not look back,” she said. “I don’t know how far we ran, but we stopped only when we reached the Dhanora police station.”

Shortly after 10 a.m., while they were reporting the crimes to police, Mukesh Dugga reached the station, she said.

“He quickly admitted that because we have become Christians, they do not want us to have a share of my father’s property as my father was not a Christian when he died, and we only started to believe after my father’s demise,” she said. “Mukesh admitted to striking my mother but denied that he raped me.”

Police registered a formal complaint under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 — First Information Report No. 13 for “kidnapping,” “illicit sexual intercourse,” “gang rape,” “voluntarily causing hurt,” “criminal intimidation,” “attempt to murder” and “common intention.”

Police arrested Mukesh Dugga, and because the doctor at a local hospital was unavailable to provide medical tests for a rape victim, police asked the victim to return the next day for examination. Police then went to check on the injured mother, she said.

“We had no idea if our mother was dead or still alive,” she told Morning Star News.

Police found their mother unconscious and confiscated the weapon that the attackers had used, according to a First Information Report (FIR). Officers sent the seriously wounded woman to a nearby hospital, which refused to admit her because of the extent of her injuries. The family rushed her to Kondagaon hospital, and from there to Raipur.

“Raipur doctors said, ‘Take your mother home, do not waste your time and money on her, she will not survive,’ and after listening to that we had lost all hope,” the 20-year-old woman said, adding that doctors performed several surgeries on her mother. 

“The spade cut was so deep that it had reached the liver and damaged it,” the woman said. 

The following day, police arrested Naag and the other two sons.

Demand for justice

Narendra Bhavani, founder of Chhattisgarh Yuva Manch and a leader of the Indian National Congress Party, demanded justice for the Christians at an Aug. 6 press conference in Kondagaon.

Bhavani told Morning Star News that “the dispute over the land arose only because of the family’s Christian faith,” and that he has demanded “compensation for the family, undisputed rights to cultivate their land and security for the victims from the district administration.”

A police letter to the Christian family dated Aug. 29 instructs them to present land ownership documents to the police station.

More than two months after the incident, the injured mother remains unable to get out of her bed without assistance. 

“Because of the prayers of so many, my mother has started to eat,” said her daughter, who has relocated for security reasons and attends to her mother 24 hours a day.

The family, which put their faith in Christ six years ago, attends a church located several miles away from their village.

Following a prolonged sickness the family members suffered six years ago, they found that when they put their faith in Jesus, "we all started to heal.”

After the family started attending church and relatives learned of their conversion, they “started to persecute us in every small and big way,” she said.

Her uncles began to stop them from cultivating the piece of land that belonged to their father.

“We refused to give up our faith, and now they have gone to the extent of attacking my mother to kill her and raping me,” the woman said. “Though they are my first cousins, sadly, they do not see me as their sister.”

Christian support organization Open Doors ranks India 11th on its 2025 World Watch List of countries where Christians face the most severe persecution. India previously stood at 31st place in 2013 but has steadily fallen in the rankings since Narendra Modi came to power as prime minister.

Religious rights advocates blame the increasingly hostile rhetoric of the National Democratic Alliance government, led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which they say has emboldened Hindu extremists in India since Modi took power in May 2014.

Lepra.

Help us support vulnerable people to live with fairness and dignity
Dear All ,

As autumn arrives and the days become shorter, I am delighted to shine a light on the extraordinary work happening across India and Bangladesh, and the incredible progress you - our wonderful supporters, have helped us to achieve.

September has been an action-packed month for Lepra: The World Health Organization (WHO) released the latest data on global leprosy cases, giving us cause to reflect on the bigger picture and help us better understand the challenges ahead. We're opening two new referral centres in Assam, India and we are celebrating with LEPRA Society on their recent WHO award - a testament to the great work being conducted!

Recognising progress vs. unfinished business - what the WHO data means

With data collected from 188 countries, the report shows clear progress in our collective efforts to control leprosy in endemic areas across the globe. However, the data demonstrates that, despite the drop from 182,815 new cases in 2023 to 172,717 in 2024, over 5% of this figure still represents children receiving a diagnosis. Please read our WHO data analysis and learn why this may be a warning sign that progress may still be too slow.

However, the ASPIRE programme offers us hope, with a proven approach to early detection and treatment, the project is helping to dramatically increase detection rates in Bihar and to bring vital support to the people and communities with the greatest level of need. People like Birju Devi (pictured), who thanks to this early intervention, has avoided her condition progressing to more serious disabilities. ASPIRE is run in partnership with Canadian global health organisation Effect HopeRead a recent article about ASPIRE's progress by Linda El Omari - Institutional Trusts and Fundraising Manager. 

New charity partnerships bring vital support for the tea farmers of Assam

September has also seen the opening of a new referral centre and satellite centre in the tea gardens of Assam, India. The expansion of our services to the state of Assam enables us to provide vital healthcare to the tea farmers and their families in this widely underserved region. The new centres have been made possible thanks to new corporate partnerships with Haddenham Healthcare and Tea People who have helped fund this important new project. 

WHO award for LEPRA Society

We're thrilled to celebrate our sister organisation LEPRA Society on winning the inaugural World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region Award for Public Health Champion (Institution Category)! The award was announced on 22 September 2025 by the WHO regional office in Delhi. Read more about the award and comments from Prasant Kumar Naik - Chief Executive, LEPRA Society here.



Thank you again for your continued support and for joining us on our journey to a world free from the physical, social and emotional impact of neglected tropical diseases.

Birdie.

From Whence Cometh Our Human Rights?

God is the source of human rights, not government.

   | Joe Raedle/Getty Images

As Americans, we are living in extraordinary times. In my almost eight decades of living in this extraordinary republic called the United States of America, I have never witnessed or experienced anything even approximating the memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Phoenix last Sunday night. Reportedly, well over 100,000 people attended the service, and millions more participated through television.

And the service itself had more of the feel and intensity of a Billy Graham Crusade than a political event. And even though an unprecedented number of high government officials were there, including the U.S. President, Vice President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of War, their remarks were more religious and spiritual than political in tone and substance.

It is becoming increasingly clear that Charlie Kirk has had an amazing and electrifying impact on millions of the nation’s young people, especially Generation Z (1997-2012). I have had at least a dozen colleagues (most involved in some form of ministry) share with me how shocked they were by the emotional impact Charlie Kirk’s death had on their late teen and early twenty-something children. Most of them knew their children listened to him, but had no idea the impact he was having on their thought lives and spiritual lives.

I believe God was using Charlie Kirk as part of a Christian spiritual awakening on our nation’s college and high school campuses. I further believe that his assassination has strengthened and magnified his cause.

Furthermore, it is clear that an unashamed patriotism and love of America is part and parcel of what God has used Charlie Kirk and others to awaken on American campuses and beyond.

Perhaps the disconnect between “what is” (or has been for a generation) and “what is becoming” (now and in the immediate future) is that Americans (disproportionately young) have discovered, or rediscovered the pivotal role of Christianity in the nation’s heritage of who we have been as a country.

Perhaps no recent episode illustrates this more clearly than Senator Tim Kaine’s recent assertion during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. A nominee for Assistant Secretary of State stated that the U.S. was founded on the principle that “all men are created equal because our rights come from God our Creator, not from our laws, not from our governments.”

Unfortunately, Senator Kaine said that he found the nominee’s statement “extremely troubling,” arguing that “Claiming that all rights come from the Creator and not from laws or government leaves the door wide open for dictators to ignore the law and simply proclaim they are doing God’s will.” 


To put it bluntly, Senator Kaine “puts the cart before the horse.” Basic human rights came first, and all human beings have them by right because they have been created in God’s image. Laws, Declarations, and Constitutions recognize and guarantee these rights; they do not confer them.

The genius of the American Revolution is that, being based on a Judeo-Christian worldview, the founders understood the necessity of divine origin for basic human rights. The Constitution and the legal and judicial systems are necessary to protect and guard each citizen’s rights, but they can only seek to guarantee, not grant those essential rights.

John Adams, one of the most important founding fathers and America’s second President (1797-1801), proclaimed:

“We have no government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by…morality and religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (“From John Adams to Massachusetts Militia,” 11 October, 1798)

Another President from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy, in his eloquent Inaugural address on January 20, 1961, declared:

“And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.” (John F. Kennedy, Jan. 20, 1961)

And the new President reminded his audience that day, “We dare not forget today, that we are the heirs of that first revolution.”

It must always be remembered that the Western world experienced another revolution less than a decade after the American Revolution. On July 14, 1789, mobs stormed the Bastille and the French Revolution began. Unlike the American Revolution, the French Revolution quickly descended into a Reign of Terror and produced the totalitarian Napoleonic Empire. The French Revolution declared, “liberty, equality, and fraternity” as the natural rights of man based on nothing more than philosophical assertion.

Such foundations soon proved inadequate. The belief that the natural rights of man needed a basis in a higher power enabled the American Revolution to produce and maintain a society with far more stable and exercised rights by the citizens of the American Republic. 

One of the most important things that the movement spawned by Charlie Kirk has accomplished is making America’s young people much more aware of the divine origin of the Revolution that has produced their American heritage—and that it is precious, unique, and should be jealously preserved.

Senator Kaine and the many for whom he speaks need to understand that all the law can do (and it is important) is acknowledge and seek to protect those rights that each human being inherently possesses as a consequence of being a human being. Our inalienable rights as human beings exist prior to, and independently of, any governmental entity or legal system.

Abortion Pill More Dangerous Than First Believed.

Women suffering higher rates of abortion pill complications than previously revealed: report. CP.


A new report claims that abortion pill complications are underreported, as new data show that many more women suffer side effects than previously thought. 

This comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told state lawmakers this week that the FDA would conduct a new review of the safety of the abortion pill protocol. 

The pro-life advocacy group National Right to Life (NRTL) released a report Monday, titled “Missed, Misclassified, and Minimized: Why Abortion Pill Complications Are Underreported.”

In a statement about the report’s release, NRTL President Carol Tobias warned that “Women are being harmed, and the dangers are being ignored or hidden.” 


Authored by NRTL Director of Education and Research Randall O’Bannon, the report builds on the findings of an Ethics and Public Policy Center analysis of 865,000 insurance claims that found 11% of women who took the abortion pills experienced “serious adverse events,” including hemorrhaging and infection.



NRTL contrasts these statistics with those of FDA trials that found 0.5% of women who take the abortion pills suffer from serious complications.

O’Bannon attributes the underreporting of complications to three main factors: women being encouraged to conceal their abortions during emergency room visits, the failure of the media to cover such cases, and what he described as “abortion industry spin.”

“Women are made to think that revealing their use of [abortion pills] will expose them to possible prosecution or at least exposure to their friends or relatives and advocates say this may make them reluctant to seek needed treatment," read the report.

The report highlighted a statement featured on the pro-abortion advocacy website Aid Access advising women that they “do not have to tell the medical staff that you tried to induce an abortion; you can tell them that you had a spontaneous miscarriage” because “the symptoms of a miscarriage and an abortion with pills are exactly the same and the doctor will not be able to see or test for any evidence of an abortion, as long as the pills have completely dissolved.” 




“The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises that Ob-Gyns ‘should not report pregnancy outcomes unless legally compelled to do so,’” the report stated.

“ACOG tells health care professionals that even if a patient discloses their attempted chemical abortion ‘documenting and reporting of the information can cause harm to the patient as well as the health care professional involved in the patient’s care.’” 

Addressing media coverage of abortion pill complications, the report maintains that whenever “the media has talked to a few of these women or published their stories describing the agony of the process and the trauma of losing their children, their experiences are generally downplayed or dismissed as transitory or even blamed on pro-life laws or policies.”

O’Bannon accuses many in the media of “blindly accepting the claims and spin of the abortion industry." 

The report also asserts that “abortion researchers minimize the numbers and seriousness of the complications experienced by users of [the abortion pill]” by classifying most of them as minor rather than major.

O’Bannon also cited a 2015 study of emergency room visits by California Medi-Cal abortion patients conducted by the University of California San Francisco, classifying “major complications” as “serious unexpected adverse events requiring hospital admission, surgery, or blood transfusion” as an example of this phenomenon. 




On the other hand, complications including “diagnosis of cervical injury requiring suture repair” as well as hemorrhaging, infections and “uterine perforations” were classified as minor in the study. O’Bannon noted that the takeaway finding of that study is that only 0.31% of women experience adverse events after taking the abortion pill. However, when including both major and minor complications, that figure rises to 5.19%. 

The publication of the NRTL report comes as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has vowed to conduct a review of abortion pills in light of the EPPC report in response to requests from pro-life advocacy groups.
