The public expresses profound outrage over the arrest of nuns in Chhattisgarh, perceiving it as a severe violation of religious freedom and an emblem of systemic discrimination against minorities in India. Opinions strongly criticize the government and law enforcement for their perceived biases and inaction against aggressive extremist groups. Calls for justice and accountability dominate the discourse, alongside a notable division where some comments defend the government's stance against alleged forced conversions.

I am 100 percentage sure that this case is on a grey area. Missionary would have tried to convince, educate people to convert into Christianity, not forced. And the  police would have arrested them by some pressure from  Hindutva people.

Where is the aapiser when you need him? He would usefully come to such debates explaining how this is only done by Pentecosts and it's fine to beat them up. Where is he when the Catholic church is being targeted?

To all the Christians in this state who thought they will be safe from Sangh’s persecution by cozying upto them, Wake Up

Proof-Web1176

As long as no one was harassed or forced to convert their religion, there is nothing wrong happening here. By this logic, even Ambedkar, who inspired thousands of Dalits to convert to Buddhism was a criminal, and so are all the sanghi organisations who conduct 'Ghar Wapsi' events to convert people into Hinduism(although in the latter, quite often it is actually forced, which would make it criminal).

What's actually kerala nuns doing in these states? Can someone tell. Don't they have enough nuns there? I have been hearing about cases similar to this few times now.

These nuns and others provide better life conditions in exchange for changing the religion. It's like that for long and whoever, whether it be Congress or BJP in power, nothing major is going to happen. They'll be arrested and left soon.

It is one set of brainwashed vs another set of brainwashed. 
Sadly some of those nuns will see victimisation by the govt as just another hurdle in their path for eternal happiness.

One guy commented here, haven’t seen people as insecure as Hindus. Literally his ancestors were allowed to trade here because the Zamorins and Kolathiris who ruled this land welcomed them eagerly without any apprehension . ഒട്ടകത്തിന്റെ നാട്ടിൽ നിന്ന് വന്നത് കൊണ്ട് ആണോ ഇവന്മാർ പണ്ട്  ഒട്ടകത്തിന് കിടക്കാൻ സ്ഥലം കൊടുത്ത പോലത്തെ സ്വഭാവം കാണിക്കുന്നത് 🤣

I do not understand the why Christians are so focussed on conversion? Religions have to make others believe that their God is the only one. Why Islam and Christians propogate there is only one god....converting the poor by taking advantage of their hardships is unethical. True faith should come from heart, and not external inducement or pressure or dependency. Finally why use compassion as  tool for religious expansion?

CellOk1789

A message for my Christian brothers and sisters, please share this message in your church and among your faternity. Converting the poor by taking advantage of their hardships is unethical. Jesus would not have agreed to it. True faith should come from the heart and inner conviction, not external inducements. Jesus is God's son but we are sure Other God's sons and daughters also can co-exists. Christianity is an organized corporate religion with the money, muscle, media and narrative power. But compassion and love should not be a tool for religious expansion.

These christian missionaries target impoverished and desperate households in these poor states, they are given money and means to climb up the economic ladder in exchange for conversion to Christianity.

Is this a forced conversion ? Not really , Is this a legal consensual conversion? Not really


It's a grey area and the right way to deal with this is to discuss with the churches not engage in such low and morality-less acts which sideline humanity for transactional gains.

I believe 90 percent of such cases are associated with evangelical, Pentecostal or Protestant churches unfortunately most don't understand that and all Christians become a target.

Propaganda by Godhi Media to hype up hindustva enthusiasts

GasBrilliant8957

It was interesting reading the comments on this post . 

People questioning the arrest are very negative about anti abortion views and down voting people who raise such questions

People who are not accepting religious conversation on India, are down voting and attacking people who question the not so trusted police actions. 

Summary both sides are equally toxic and are pseudo secular.

TapPositive6857

Let them convert muslims first. All problems resolved

AdMajestic187

These people of Abrahamic faith struggle to live in a country where majority practise dhramic faith

Every non is a target for conversion.

India should ban proselytising. Remember EastIndia Company

I met a smiling tribal guy working in Dubai from Chattisgarh. While talking, when I mentioned in Malayalee from Canada, the immediate next thing he wanted to know is, if I was Christian. When I said no, the smile went away. After that it was ok sir, good luck. 

Same with another guy who I responded with namaskaram when he said salaam alekkum. But hey, observe, move on. Adhalle ellam

parishuddhaatma

How is this related to kerala and why is this posted here

xamidoxx

everyone knows what they were doing in that tribal majority and related states from kerela . and BJP in kerela said has nothing to do with BJP in other states.

The sooner this BD organization is labelled a terror outfit the better.  
FYI for those defending this outfit,  
They purposely target Christian communities since they know, Christians will never retaliate and only forgive. So using this an advantage, they continually prefer to harass Christian communities.  
They have murdered the Australian Missionary in 1999, wife of the victim forgave the murderer.  
They killed another 39 Christians in 2008  
And many more unreported incidents. Time and time again they make news for only harassing the minority religious communities especially during their main festivals.

&gt;“They took us to the railway police station. We were scolded a lot, and Jyoti Sharma hit me twice on the face. She said that if you do not follow what we say, we will put your siblings in jail and assault them. They wanted us to say that we were brought here forcibly. I told Sharma that I have come of my own will and have the consent of my parents. I said this inside the police station in the presence of two to three policemen,” she claimed.

Of course it was… was that ever a doubt?

The woman said she lives with her parents and four sisters, and earns Rs 250 a day as a daily wager. She said she learnt of a job from one of the arrested accused, Mandavi, who goes to the same church and is like a brother to her.

The woman said, “I used to cycle for nine kilometres every day for work. I have studied up to class 10. Mandavi offered me a job as a cook for the nuns and to look after patients (at a hospital in Agra). They promised Rs 10,000 apart from food, clothes and shelter. I was happy.”

Bravo to everyone attacking the Nuns, you've degraded your religion much better than any non-Hindu could ever imagine

Batman_is_very_wise

Not surprising in the least. This is how the police behaves under BJP governments. Umar Khalid organised the Delhi riots, Shaheen Bagh was a paid protest, these nuns were trafficking women. It's the same playbook used over and over, and the majority gobbles it up because they are biased against non-Hindus.

That's nothing new, but a common modus operandi of Bajrang Dal and like minded group. 1-1.5 years ago, they also accused a Muslim of LJ but after a period the case fell apart for the same reason.

This one got media attention. There’s small scale attacks on Christians almost everyday. They get assaulted then the police arrests them instead of the mob goons. I can show you a fb page but Reddit won’t let me post the link. Check out persecuted saint on fb to see how much they are attacked just for practicing their religion.

Imagine if the nun start preaching her gospel inside the jail  and the jailed members and staff start converting. They will release her ASAP. UNO Reverse 😂.

ThatNameIsMyName

Even if we take the allegations at face value, at best a case can be made for religious conversion. What is the terrorism angle ? Is NIA investigating conversion cases ? 

At this point even a banana republic will make more sense

nimbutimbu

NIA was established to investigate terrorist activities. Basically if you are a preaching Christian, you are a terrorist.

Flawless_Cub

Even though the Christians have done so much for this country, all they get is hate. Minorities have got no rights in India.

Flyingmachine_

The alleged victims and their parents themself said the nuns are innocent and they're going for a job.
It's a clear sign of religion based discrimination.

They did this with Sikhs, Dalits , Muslims and now even Christians.

The Bajarangi Dal should be investigated for state sponsored terrorism instead.

moon-xz

I am a catholic. So the nuns are really not  interested in converting people and as a catholic we don’t force or engage in conversation with people where we tell them the benefits of being a Christian. Nuns usually serve people and help the needy.

Legitimate_Dog7849

We are living in dystopian times
Nuns are considered as terrorists
Basically the process is the punishment to make them an example for the extremists people

Let them file the case, but no need to arrest

I am not accusing them but here in Chhattisgarh the majority of missionaries do convert poor people by offering them money and other stuff.
