I fully appreciate the sentiments expressed by you. It is true that Hindus are not very welcoming to the converts but that is probably due to the fact that for Hindus converts to their religion are not a normal thing and they simply do not have a policy towards them. In your case, the cool reception you had from your husband\\\'s family is more to do with him not marrying a South Indian Brahmin, South Indian or an Indian girl. Even if you were a \\\'wrong kind\\\' of Indian, you would have faced the same problem. It has something to do with the ignorance of some Hindus rather than their religious intolerance. You come across as such a mature person that sooner or later your in laws would realise their mistake.
It is because the Hindus seem to look inwards that they they have no time for a \\\'Hindu cause\\\' and must blame themselves for the injustice and redicule mated out to them. It it a shame that the ancient Hindus gave this wonderful edict \\\'Vasudhaivya Kutumbkam\\\'which is not followed by the modern day Hindus who can\\\'t see beyond their own caste or community. Let us hope that your decision to became a Hindu makes you a happy person in the end. All the best.
