In a deeply disturbing case of religious persecution, a young Hindu student, Amisha Bai, was humiliated, harassed, and denied her basic rights simply because she refused to convert to Christianity at the Holy Cross Nursing College in Kunkuri, Jashpur, Chhattisgarh. This disgraceful act has sparked outrage among Hindu organisations, who rightfully took to the streets in protest.
According to reports, the college administration, led by Principal Vincy Joseph, made relentless attempts to force the student into Christianity under the guise of education. When Amisha bravely resisted this coercion, she was systematically targeted—her attendance was intentionally not marked, she was thrown out of classes, expelled from the hostel, and ultimately barred from taking her examination.
This isn’t just harassment—it’s a blatant assault on religious freedom and a calculated attempt to crush Hindu identity within educational institutions run by missionary forces.
Hundreds of furious citizens joined the Hindu Akrosh Rally, organised by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, to condemn this appalling crime. The rally, which began from Saliatoli and ended at Jai Stambh Chowk, thundered through the streets demanding justice for Amisha and action against the culprits. Leaders like Acharya Rakesh and Bajrang Dal district president Vijay Aditya Singh Judev led the protest, warning that if swift action isn’t taken, the agitation will intensify and the recognition of the college will be forcefully challenged.
Acharya Rakesh exposed how conversion mafias hide behind the veil of “service” and education to trap innocent Hindu girls. Judev called it an open attack on the faith and dignity of Hindus and slammed the administration for its inaction despite a clear complaint from the victim.
Amisha, a final-year GNM student, revealed that within three months of joining the college, she was repeatedly pressured by the principal to convert and become a nun. When she stood her ground, the college waged psychological and academic warfare against her. After she was expelled and denied access to the exam, she approached authorities. Only after intervention was she allowed to appear—but not without fresh threats of being failed deliberately.
Her father, a physically disabled man who struggles to fund her education, shared his anguish: “They used to call and scold us for every little thing. My daughter told me many times about their pressure. They asked her again and again to become a nun. I told her—if you want to become spiritual, join Brahma Kumaris in our own religion. We stayed silent because we are poor, but now enough is enough.”
This is not an isolated incident—it is part of a larger, sinister pattern of religious targeting in missionary-run institutions. The silence of authorities and continued recognition of such colleges raise serious questions about complicity and bias.
