Hallelujah Punjab: Christianity’s Rapid Rise Reshapes Faith and Power

Описание: 🌟 Exploring Punjab’s Religious Transformation: The Rise of Christianity🌟

Join us in this deep dive into a seismic shift reshaping Punjab’s cultural and religious landscape. In recent years, Punjab has seen a surge in conversions to Christianity, particularly among marginalized Sikh and Hindu communities. From just 1.26% of the population in 2011 (~350,000 people), estimates now suggest Punjab’s Christian population could be as high as 5-15%, with hundreds of thousands embracing the faith in the last few years alone.
In this video, we unpack:

✅ The rapid growth of Pentecostal and evangelical churches, led by local Punjabi pastors.

✅ Why marginalized groups, especially Dalits, are turning to Christianity—seeking dignity, equality, and hope amid caste discrimination.

✅ The role of education, healthcare, and faith-based healing in addressing Punjab’s drug crisis and social challenges.

✅ Stories of remarkable pastors like Ankur Narula and Gurnam Singh, blending Punjabi culture with Christian faith.

✅ The backlash from Sikh institutions and the political ripples as parties court the growing Christian vote.

From village prayer halls to mega-churches, from diaspora support to local tensions, this is a story of faith, identity, and transformation. Is this a social justice awakening or a challenge to Punjab’s heritage? Let’s discuss! 💬
