I have read Mr. Gautier's articles off and on and even heard him over television, and know him as an unabashed Indophile even to the point of being foolishly blind to its ridiculously glaring foibles.
However, this is one article that really echoed what I experienced today when I saw the chief Minister of Karnataka with folded hands standing next to Hinn in silent acquiesence of whatever was going on. You named it-The Benny Hinn Show!! To name otherwise would be to show disrespect to the language itself.
I am an Indian and a Christian but excepting few issues, I fully endorse what has been written. Only his take on Sonia Gandhi was unsubstantiated. Alleging that "...Everybody is bending over backwards to please her, even anticipating her wishes!" is really kiddish.
I think the government should really promolgate a law that screens people like Hinn and not give them license to hold serious meeings. Comedy tours, probably!!
I am a committed Christian, and want Indians to know Jesus. But more in the manner of Mother Teresa and Graham Staines rather than Benny Hinn and scores of his ilk. (O yes, there are many!!)
