E/CN.4/1992/52 page 33 to add that while incidents of communal violence have taken place in India, the estimate of death toll being 'more that 5,000' as a result of communal violence since January 1990 is quite grossly exaggerated. It is also incorrect to suggest that most of those killed or injured belong to any particular faith. Furthermore, the police and other law and order maintenance authorities have done their best to contain communal clashes and prevent them from spreading. As regards the allegation contained in paragraph 2 of the annex to your letter, the allegation of discrimination against Christians is without basis." Indonesia U9.

It has been alleged that all Baha'i administrative institutions have been dissolved, all Baha'i schools closed and all of their properties, including a National Centre, have been confiscated. It has further been reported that members of the Baha'i community have been subjected to surveillance, arbitrary arrests and detention and that a number of Baha'is have been imprisoned from periods ranging from a few days up to five years. Their employment and promotion opportunities have reportedly also been restricted. It has been alleged that Baha'is have been pressured to renounce their faith and invited to adopt one of the five other religions recognized under the Constitution.
