I read your article "Cry my beloved India" posted in Rediff on 21st Jan. I appreciate and thank your concern for my nation India. I wish to ask you few questions.
1. What makes you call yourself a Christian, is it because you are born in a so called a Christian family. If your identity of Christianity comes from your birth or place of origin you better stop calling yourself a Christian.
2. I hope you know very well that India is a secular nation with freedom of expression.
3. I think Sonia Gandhi is more an Indian now than an Italian, and she and the family she got married into is no way Christians.
4.What do you think a Christian gets when he converts somebody- a place in the UN, or a legacy to his name?
5. What do think often makes a born again believing Christian (please note I am not talking of Christians who are born with a Christian name, or go to church every Sunday, or say their rosary every day)to leave all his/her comfort and to choose to work among the poor and needy in a country like ours. It is only the love of Jesus that he/she experiences through his/her relationship with Jesus Christ in her everyday life.
