In Asia, the church is growing fast. And in most of South Asia, Christians are among the religious minorities. How is Christianity perceived, and how is religion politicized? Amid mounting nationalism, what challenges are Christians and religious minorities facing? What opportunities exist for them to advocate for peace and justice? How can we pray in support of our brothers and sisters? 

To answer these questions, Michael Mutzner and Arie De Pater interviewed Yamini Ravindran. Yamini is an attorney-at-law from Sri Lanka, the director of advocacy at the National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka, the Executive Director for the Religious Liberty Commission of the Asia Evangelical Alliance. She was a member of the International Council of the World Evangelical Alliance (at time of recording).

This is part one of a two-part interview with Yamini.
