A nun who was allegedly raped by more than 40 men during an outbreak of anti-Christian violence in India has accused local police of shielding her attackers.
The nun said she was sexually assaulted by a rioting mob at the end of August, days after the murder of a Hindu priest sparked attacks by Hindu extremists on the Christian community in the East coast Orissa state.
Nun Mina Barwa, aged 29, said she was dragged to a burned-out Christian home and was beaten with sticks and paraded semi-naked in the streets as mobs threatened to gang rape her.
Breaking down repeatedly while speaking to reporters in New Dehli, she said: 'They pulled out my sari and one of them stepped on my right hand and another on my left hand and then a third person raped me.'
'They had already torn away my blouse and undergarments and they went on beating me with their hands on my cheeks and head and with sticks on my back.'
More than half-a-dozen people have been arrested over the incident, but Barwa has called for a federal investigation as she 'had little faith in local Orissa police'.

'State police failed to stop the crimes, failed to protect me from the attackers, they were friendly with the attackers, and they tried their best to make sure that I did not make complaints against police.
'I was raped and now I don't want to be victimised by the Orissa police.'
At least 35 people have died during weeks of anti-Christian attacks in Orissa and nearly 50,000 have fled their homes, remaining in state-run shelters.
Human rights activist John Dayal said: 'The conditions in those relief shelters are terrible. There are no toilets and officials say tribal women don't need any toilets.
'People have no faith in police.'
Dozens of churches, prayer halls and Catholic-run schools have been attacked in the state, which is ruled by a political party allied to India's Hindu nationalist party.
Hardline Hindu groups accuse missionaries of bribing poor tribes people and low-caste Hindus to convert to Christianity by offering free education and health care.
Catholic groups say Christians in the state are being forced to reconvert to Hinduism.
Pope Benedict XVI has strongly condemned the violence.
India's Supreme Court this week rejected a plea by a Catholic bishop for a federal investigation into the alleged rape, saying the matter should be probed by the Orissa police.
Religious clashes erupt periodically in India where only 2.3 percent of the more than 1.1 billion population are practising Christians.

Could this be true?

its called missionary

[AbuShabab]

its called missionary

If true, Christian missionary is totally different from Islamic da'wah. Muslims use da'wah to invite non-Muslims to understand the worship of God as expressed in the Qur'an, as well as to inform them about prophet Muhammad (salalaahu calayhi wasalam). As directed to non-Muslims, it consists of explaining Islam through acts, discussions and dialogue. On the other hand, Christians use money to convert non-Christians. We can sum up, those who mostly convert to Christianity do it for material gains.

It sounds like somebody thinks gang rape is an appropriate punisment for a Christian nun daring to live in India.

Actually, Christianity in India goes back to Judas Thomas in 52 AD. There are 30M native Christians in India, or about 2.5%, so there is no need to assume the nun was a missionary. The name Mina Barwa hardly sounds foreign. The area south of Goa on India's west coast has been heavily Christian for centuries.

This was part of a Hindu pogrom, something Muslims in India, at 12% of the population, have also been a target.
