I did not convert. My forefathers converted before 200 years mainly because - they were not allowed to enter hindu temples - their women were not allowed wear decent dresses (google and read 'mulakaram') - they have to maintain 12 feet distance with so-called uppercastes. - they were not allowed to get educated - they were not allowed to live in decent houses The above info. is not my imagination but is a history. If you want to know more read books on history of Travancore. Once converted to christianity, our forefathers and successors could live a decent life with self-respect and dignity because of efforts by missionaries. Still we are christians because - we have found that compared to other religions christianity is the best in the world. - we do not want to worship idols. - we do not want to believe in myths and superstitions. - we have nearly 100% literacy rate
