Breaking News!! Nun burnt to death alive in Orissa!

Yes.. It's so horrible as it breaks.. it's really worth a watch in media houses when such news breaks - more and more information starts pouring in, exclusive footages come in, mobile alerts keep beeping in. It is all about the competition is to show the first pictures, give detailed information. After some time, it got confirmed that it was not a nun but a teacher who was burnt to death and now the correction drive starts. The reason behind the brutal activity is RELIGION CONVERTION. Soon after the news broke, I started searching for an apt picture for the story, video footages etc. At last I got it -- exclusive, pictures -- so horrible.

As such types of attacks and activities towards nuns had already been happened in the past, the first news was the deceased was a nun too. For a second, my memory flew back, like the flashbacks in movies -- 2 -3 years back, when I was coming back to Delhi from Kerela, I met a Sister (nun), who was in the same compartment of the train. She was supposed to get down at Bhopal and was working as a missionary somewhere interior in Bhopal. The first day we were formal to each other. On the second day, as it was really boring to spend 48 hours in the train, I started talking to others who were sitting next to me and slowly I began conversing with her about where she was going and what was she doing there etc.

She belongs to a poor family in Kottayam and joined in seminary because of her interest in working for the poor. She visits her parents every year. Then she told me about the place where she is living now and her missionary works. It is 30 km in the interiors of Bhopal, as I mentioned before. There were very few buses to her place and that too went only as far as 25 kms to that place and then 5 kms she has to travel in a bullock cart. There were no proper roads, light, water etc.

The people there work in the field and earn some money, say 20 rupees per day, for their daily living. There were no hospitals, schools etc -- in short, a different world unknown to everybody. In between our conversation, I asked about the packet that she was keeping near her, which contained medicines. Seeing that I thought she was working as a doctor or nurse. She told me, whenever she came to meet her parents in Kerala, she purchases some medicines with the money she got from her relatives and parents.

She further told me that she was staying in a hut there and that’s the only place where the people can go in case of any kind of sickness. Most of the people there (99%) were illiterate. So her hut was the school for them. They bring food for her everyday in order to show their gratitude. There was nobody to take care of such people -- to provide them good education, food or light. In short, she was a great help for them. All these things were unknown to me till then. Nobody can imagine such a village as we live in a hi-tech world. But all those were hidden facts. Who can help such people without expecting anything from them? Some cheap politicians or others can take it as a weapon to convert them to Christians. They do so as they don't want such people to be educated because if that happens then they may loose the chance to exploit them. They attack such machineries in the name of Conversions.

Think what will they (nuns) get if they convert one or two persons to Christianity? Money?? Christianity is there all over the world since long and nobody needs to convert anybody to Christianity to increase the number.

India is a Hindu country and nobody can compete with them in terms of number. Nobody has such dreams, so why such machinieries who does well for the poor are being killed brutally?? No answer….it's only a blog. It can't change anybody's mind. Jai Hind.
