Christian groups in India’s north-eastern state of Nagaland are working to quell the rapid growth of Satanism after reports that thousands of teenagers from churches had taken up devil worship in recent months. The Vatican’s Fides news agency recently reported that more than 3,000 young “worshippers of Satan” have been identified in Nagaland’s capital of Kohima alone.
The actual strength of Satan worshippers is difficult to determine, but such groups also exist in Nagaland’s largest city of Dimapur, and they are using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to expand their network, said the Rev. Wati Longkumer, director of the Nagaland Missionary Movement, a group of mostly Baptist associations and churches.
Longkumer said he has seen membership forms for a group calling itself the Black Bulls and inviting youngsters to become part of devil worship. Longkumer’s organization, part of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council, which consists of more than 1,300 churches, has assigned its youth department to conduct a detailed report. More than 90 percent of Nagaland’s 2 million residents are Christians, and about three-fourths of those identify as Baptist.
The Rev. Ben Dang Toshi Longkumer, a Nagaland-based representative of the Evangelical Fellowship of India (no relation to Wati Longkumer), said “Satan worship has considerably changed the demeanor and the worldview of the youth, though no criminal activity by them has been reported thus far.”
The Rev. Zotuo Kiewhuo, senior pastor of Koinonia Baptist Church in Kohima, said the cult is spreading like “wildfire” due to an identity crisis among the youth of the state plagued with corruption, insurgencies and intertribal conflicts. – Religion News Service, 11 July 2013

To complete it, Naga youths moving towards Satan worship even in a well customised religious environment only point towards a vacuum existing in what they have been taught mechanically through time. Showcasing one’s faith, disciplining on Sunday churchgoing (just for the sake of it for many as an outing), wearing the cross chain, drawing the cross as a tattoo, attempting to convert others whereever possible mindset, ‘I am superior, you are an idol worshipper’ mindset all these lead to only one conclusion, this is not a religion but a movement. A religion which teaches that “I’m the Way, the only Truth”and all others are false cannot be religion since its pillar of strength lies in numerology only. Hinduism in spite of many ills, never preaches to hate other faiths. It is immaterial as to how you pray, what is important is whether you are praying or pretending to pray.

I have nothing against Christianity, but to look at the fact that while the British introduced Christianity into NE India, it failed miserably in the plains belt but succeeded in the Hills points to only one thing, strength of faith. Animism and other practices were overwhelmed by monetary,economic and other seductions common with christian missionaries. Their philosophy is crystal clear you get to become a so called gentleman only if you consign your past beliefs and embrace Jesus as the Lord. A sort of ‘give and take’ silent order. In the process they lost their already lost identity further by looking down on their own customs and traditions practiced by their forefathers for centuries. Suddenly they felt they have become modern and at par with the world seldom realising the truth ‘you cannot jump evolution’. Every decision of theirs is based on what the church says or more so what the Arch Bishop says be it whom to vote, what to eat, what to dress, whom to marry also i presume.They have become lost in their own surroundings. The reversal days are also near, with education the younger genx will move away from such a mechanical faith. You cannot fool them for long. A religion which tries to keep its flock static by any means or tricks in its book is not religion. Christianity to me thus is not a religion but a movement to convert, demolish existing faith and beliefs, inject its own beliefs and practices and to negate all other faiths and beliefs and to do it by any means,

So, another Indian Christian community in identity crisis.
Not so hard to understand why. Christianity is completely incompatible with the Indian–meaning Hindu–ethos.
It is Baptist missionaries who introduced Satan to the Naga tribes over a hundred years ago. They told them that Satan ruled the world. Not surprising then that the Naga youth have taken them at their word and asked Satan for a blessing to get on in this hard and cruel world!
More to the point, the VHP and other Hindu outfits should make themselves available to the Naga youth and bring them back into the Hindu fold.
