In kerala, christins hijacked all Hindu customs. During temple festival, Hindus used to carry the diety on caparisoned elephants accompanied by 'panchvadyam' i.e. five instruments which include a drum called chenda which was used exclusively by Hindus. Now christins are using all these instruments and elephans in their religious processions. They take all hindus customs on the one hand, abuse and riducle hindus on the other hand. After some time, they may even claim that all the customs and rictuals are theirs.
