India in the News

It seems India is everywhere. Today the Times had two articles. Protests there against an honor killing made page one and further on there was an article about two Americans of Indian descent. Both of them are in elected office and both had converted to Christianity before their political lives began. It seems like the opposite poles.

I remember a young woman I used to work with who converted to Christianity in order to make herself acceptable to her future husband's family. They were Greek Orthodox. She did not want her family to know what she had done and so she did not wear the new gold cross in their presence. No religion is without adherents who cannot accept deviations from custom.
