Four families boycotted in Jharkhand for converting to Christianity

Four families boycotted in Jharkhand for converting to Christianity

In a village in Jharkhand, India, four families were boycotted by their neighbors because they decided to follow Christianity.

The villagers stopped them from using the village pond, well, handpump, and shops, and also barred them from collecting firewood and leaves from the forest.

The families said they were treated unfairly, so the police and local officials stepped in to help.

After a meeting, the issue was resolved, and the families were allowed to use the facilities again.

The villagers who boycotted the families said they did it to protect their own religion and culture.
