“My name is Lavanya. They (school) had asked my parents in my presence if they can convert me to Christianity and help her for further studies. Since I didn’t accept, they kept scolding me.”
– last words of Lavanya

A 17-year-old school girl named Lavanya was staying in a boarding house called St Michael’s Girls’ Home in Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur district. She was a12th standard student at the Sacred Heart Higher Secondary School, Thirukattupali in Thanjavur, who had committed suicide on 20 January, 2022. Lavanya’s mother explained that her deceased daughter’s plight which compelled her to end her life was due to the torture and pressure exerted on her to convert to Christianity by the authorities of the govt-aided Christian missionary school. “She was compelled and tortured and now she is no more! We want Justice”, lamented Lavanya’s mother, as she revealed that her daughter was being pressured and coerced by the school authorities to take up Christianity for the last two years. “She was asked to wash bathrooms and do other chores and was tortured”, said Lavanya’s mother as she demanded the arrest and awarding of capital punishment for the two school wardens, identified as Sahay Mary and Rocklyn Mary, whom she said were responsible for the death of her daughter. One cannot imagine about the level of torture and humiliation under a school where children are supposed to learn value of equality, liberty and humanism and inculcate these constitutional values in the students. After refusing to convert Lavanya had to face the toughest punishment such as continued harassment.

Lavanya’s mother recalls, “They used to tell her that she is a bright girl and even threatened her that if she revealed these things to us they will spread rumors about her character. Probably that’s the reason why she did not reveal anything to us”. This was done to her just because of her Hindu faith. This instances also prove that Missionaries school are not progressive but are ethnocentric and agenda based agencies which are desperately being used to convert ‘others’ faith.

As an aware citizen of India we have to stand against the vicious agenda run by the Missionary Schools and we all are living in 21 century and at this juncture missionaries are keen to impose their way of life on others. They have claimed to be only civilized or superior in other words. As per their ‘Civilizing Responsibility’ and ‘White man’ Burden’ theory Christian Missionaries are keen to homogenize the entire world as well as Bharat too. They have ventured to every corner of world and ruptured the small communities and their social settings. Also, in India in the name of emancipation they have uprooted the indigenous people and disrupted their Sui generic cultural ethos. In the influence of Missionary encroachment indigenous people and small communities are losing their unique character and some of them are on the verge of extinction. But it is our responsibility that we have to preserve the diversity and protect the indigenous communities of our nation.

At last it would be better conclude with these words of Lavanya’s mother, “We have lost our daughter but we do not want the same to happen with anyone else’s child…she should be the first and last to go through this torture”, by demanding strict action against the school.
