Catholic groups say Christians in the state are being forced to reconvert to Hinduism.
The Catholic nun accused the state police of complicity in the Hindu attacks against Christians
A mob of up to 50 Hindu men armed with sticks, axes and iron rods dragged the nun and a priest from a prayer hall in the eastern state of Orissa in August.
After gang-raping her, the mob paraded the Catholic nun half-naked through the streets.
"They had already torn away my blouse and undergarments," said Barwa, who broke down in tears several times while speaking to reporters in New Delhi.
"And they went on beating me with their hands on my cheeks and head and with sticks on my back.".
