evidence: As reported by The Nepal Times on 27 July 2023, journalists at a convention in Kathmandu on 26 July 2023 expressed their alarm at how the nationalistic Hindutva ideology of India's ruling BJP has been seriously influencing Nepali politics. World Watch Research analyst Rolf Zeegers comments: "The fact is that, from an economical viewpoint, Nepal is more or less dependent on India. Nepal is one of the few countries besides India where Hinduism is the dominant religion and now many Hindu radicals think the time has come to impose a similar government in Nepal as in India. With increasing frequency, Nepal is beginning to see the physical harassment of Christians and damage to churches and Christian properties similar to the sort of incidents occurring in India on a regular basis. Reports of such violence are often in the form of Facebook posts, for instance: 30 August 2023, - Three churches attacked in Nawalparasi, Ramgram municipality territory. The Hindu nationalist movement, Hindu Samrat Sena, has also become very aggressive in their actions towards Christians in the border areas. Some observers consider the danger very real that violence could escalate if the influence of Hindutva continues to grow in the country."
