NEW DELHI (AFP) � A radical Hindu leader has been arrested in southern India over a spate of attacks targeting Christian churches, officials said Saturday.

Police in the southern state of Karnataka said Mahendra Kumar, head of the Bajrang Dal radical Hindu group, was arrested overnight in connection with the attacks which began last weekend.

The arrest came a day after New Delhi told the Hindu nationalist government in Karnataka to "bring the situation under control."

Almost 20 churches in Karnataka were attacked over the weekend, following similar clashes in the eastern state of Orissa which left nearly 20 dead.

3. As a hindu, these people shame me.

Hinduism is a religion of tolerance and fundies don't fit in its overall scheme, yet they find a way!
