A senior research scholar and journalist, Teena
Amrit Gill, recently screened her documentary film at the India
International Centre in Delhi. With this film she brought to the fore a
very niche subject that few would know about in India and even fewer
would care. White Robes, Saffron Dreams dealt with the conspicuous
absence of bhikhunis or Buddhist nuns in Thailand – a country that has
an ancient tradition of Theravada Buddhism and over three lakh
practising bhikhus or monks.
