Class 6 student of a government school in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur has alleged that two teachers attempted to forcibly convert her and harassed her over her religious identity.
“She [teacher] called me the donkey with vibhuti [sacred ash] Once she put her hand in water and spoke about Jesus. Later, she touched Hindu girls’ stomachs thrice with water in her hands,” the student said.
The child also alleged that the teacher asked her students to pray in class. “One day when she was taking a class, she asked who saved us by giving their life. We said different names but she asked us why we did not say Jesus,” she added.
The student said that one of the teachers asked her who the strongest among Gods is and she replied Lord Shiva. However, the teacher refuted her remark and said Jesus is the strongest among Gods.
The girl informed her parents who have filed a police complaint. A probe into the matter has been initiated.
The girl’s father said, “I’ve given a complaint at the police station. They are only trying to pacify us. They asked me to write what action I seek in the matter. I’ve done so and am now awaiting action.”

Speaking exclusively to India Today, BJP spokesperson Narayan Tripathi accused the ruling DMK government of being a mute spectator to incidents of forced conversion.
“The police and government should take immediate action and arrest the accused. We have demanded action against the school management. Conversion is a very dangerous thing, we need an anti-conversion law immediately in Tamil Nadu,” he said.
