Christians in Mizoram refuse enumeration in 2011 Census

The fear of the Devil in the Christian-dominated state of Mizoram has caused almost 1,000 families to refuse enrollment of their names in the National Population Register (NPR) taken up along with the Census 2011.
The problem has stemmed from the Unique Identification Authority of India stipulating that none can buy or sell property without the Unique ID card.  According to adherents of the belief, since buying or selling of property made one a follower of the Beast, one having the UID card, which authorised property transactions, automatically made one a follower of the Devil. Those refusing to be enumerated belong to the Mizoram Presbyterian Church and the Baptist Church of Mizoram.
