i object to gautier's observation on kerala's sizeable xian population. i am a christian from kerala. like our ancestors even today we continue to live by hindu cultures and traditions though we follow a different religion. in kerala hindus and christians visit each others temples and churches and attend each others festivals like it is their own. christians in kerala unlike the north-east have never shown any sort of seperatist mentality and its only a microscopic minority here in kerala that indulges in evangelism. we contribute to the nation just like everyone else and have never felt alienated or feel the need to differentiate just coz of a cross hanging on our necks.
our youth mustnot lose our traditional strengths of seeking knowledge. with the western, a good knowledge of the sciences we helped to develop will only help.
