Jharkhand Woman Reunites with Son After Decades but Faces Religious Dispute

After nearly 25 years apart, Sushila Murmu, who converted to Christianity before marriage, was traced to her family in Jharkhand's Godda district through amateur radio volunteers. Despite a video call reunion with her son, Madan Besra, he refused to accept her unless she reconverted to Hinduism. Murmu declined, citing her commitment to her faith. She remains in a Kolkata shelter, with religious differences preventing her return to her village, where her Christian identity had previously caused social exclusion.
