Christians in Chhattisgarh caught between a rock and a hard place

Chhattisgarh's recently enacted law aimed at restricting religious conversions imposes stricter registration requirements.

The community says under the new legislation could punish those who seek official recognition, leaving them caught between growing local hostility and potential legal penalties in the region.
