Brother I feel you have misunderstandings abt Christians in India. The common Christian man in India is not same as the Anthony/peter you see in Hindi movies. Mostly they depict goan/mumbai catholics in movies. I am a Protestant Christian and I have a Hindi name (which I am proud of), and unless I tell someone, nobody can find that I am a Christian. SOme people ask me why I don't have an english name? My answer is, I am an Indian and so I have an Indian name. Religion is a very personal thing, something that people should practice in their home and community, nt something by which you judge others. And most Christians around the India are proud of our culture. Of course there are city slickers who pretend to be very modern in views and bad mouth abt the culture, but trust me there are more Hindus who act like this than all the Christian population of India. Christianity has integrated so well with our culture. I grew up in a Church where service is conducted in Marathi language. Even in our weddings we follow traditions like haldi, mehndi. And believe me many Christians in India will not like the idea of bride wearing a dress/gown,, its mostly a white saree. I bet you don't hve any Christian friends or you probably don't know that some of your friends are Christians.. Don't blame Christianity for bringing the evils of western world to India, any given day, any Indian Christian will feel more solidarity with an Indian Hindu, Muslim or Sikh brother than with a westerner
