hello ruby, i must appreciate your discovery of the essence of hinduism , it is indeed based on equality of all creatures and preach on devine presence of god in all.... to me you are more hindu,than a born hindu who doesn't really know that what actually hinduism is all about... what happened between you and your in laws in really unfortunate... but may i put it in this way ( being an hindu in india ) that a after a long lasting oppression under the dark cloud of british empire and after passing through inhumane treatment at their hands every ordinary person in india had developed a bitter taste for the foreigners and tried to insulate himself...though our generation knows well that entire world is not british; but this may take time for elderly/less literate people of india to understand... and perhaps this what, which caused you agony......this instance is related to orthodaux indian psyche rather then that of a hindu.... you'd have faced similar adversities if you've married person of any other religion in india.... but mentality is changing........ we need more true followers like you
