Malay-Muslim conservative groups, such as Isma, have also consistently spoken out against 'Christianisation' as an alleged threat to the Malay-Muslim community in recent years.

It's no coincidence that most of the people who were arrested over the years since South Sudan's secession in 2011 on accusations of "proselytisation" and "Christianisation" were ethnic Nuba, the main inhabitants of areas controlled by the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) that is fighting the government in South Kordofan.

But it would be wrong to dismiss Easter as merely the Christianisation of earlier pagan traditions.

The Gorakhpur MP stirred a controversy earlier on Saturday with his remark that Mother Teresa was part of a "conspiracy for Christianisation of India".
