After Christian nuns were harassed over fears of ‘forceful conversion’, church groups are advising nuns and priests not to step out in their habits.

Clothes are deeply embedded in the regional and cultural framework of India. But today, they are being used for something far more sinister — religious profiling.

Certain clothing items are categorically unsafe to wear in this country because they make you easy targets, as the recent train incident in Jhansi with Christian nuns has proved.

Most church groups are already abuzz with directives for safety toolkits for nuns and priests. Some are even advising them not to step out in their habits unless absolutely necessary.

In todays’ political climate, being different is increasingly being conflated with being ‘dangerous’. Hence, something as obviously different as a Christian habit worn by nuns seems to have become an instant trigger for self-styled crusaders and vigilantes.

The Christian nuns and postulants were harassed by Railway personnel and members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of the RSS. The two nuns were travelling aboard the Haridwar-Puri Kalinga Utkal Express, when the men asked them to get down and falsely accused them of indulging in forceful conversion.
