Catholic social work group provides relief and rehabilitation to disaster victims, which is regarded as giving a divine shape to the inter religious dimensions in India. Caritas India has involved Hindu and Muslim leaders in providing help to victims of floods in northeastern Assam, in order to foster religious harmony in the nation.
As reported by ucanews.com, Fr. Frederick D’souza, director of Caritas India remarked that “When a disaster hits, expression of humanity is the biggest religion and nowadays some people engaged in unnecessary fear mongering by putting doubts into the minds of others about motives but all this can be avoided when partnering with interfaith groups.” Further, he added, “Despite transparency measures, Caritas India has time and again been accused of ulterior religious motives in some areas of India.”
Most social actions programs of the Catholic Church in India are carried out by diocesan social service agencies, which are branch offices of the national-level Caritas.
