In Indian eastern village of Bhubaneswar, some suspected Maoists killed a senior Hindu leader and four others. Indian police thinks it is linked to a controversy over religious conversions of Hindu and Christian in the area. Armed men also raided a Hindu school in Orissa's rural Kandhamal district on Saturday and killed five people, including an octogenarian leader linked to India's main opposition Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Hindus leaders of this certain area claims that Christian priests are bribing poor tribes people and low-caste Hindus to change their faith. Christian groups say lower-caste Hindus who convert do so willingly to escape the highly stratified and oppressive Hindu caste system.

This is not today’s news as in last Christmas evening fights broke out in which one person lost his life and churches and temples were damaged. The region is a stronghold of Maoist rebels and police say they have evidence to link the guerrillas to Saturday's attack. "We have found a letter from the spot which indicates that it may be a Maoists attack," Kishan Kumar, the area's top government official, told Reuters, adding the automatic rifles used in the attack were similar to the ones used by the Maoists.

Police say by attacking Hindus the Maoists were trying to garner support among the region's poor tribes, most of which had converted to Christianity. The murdered Hindu leader was leading a local campaign to reconvert Hindus and tribal people from Christianity.

Saturday's killings have sparked tension in the area with hundreds of Hindus blocking roads and stopping trains. Thousands of police officers were deployed to maintain peace. Reports said Hindu crowds burned down one church.

India's constitution is secular, but most of its billion-plus citizens are Hindu. About 2.5 percent of Indians are Christians. There have been attacks on Christians in the past in Orissa and other parts of India. In 1999, a Hindu mob killed Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two children by burning them in their car in Orissa.
