Being Indian, Being Christian: Believing Differently, Living Faithfully
When I tell people I am a Christian from India, especially from Bihar—a land where Hinduism thrives, Buddhism was born, Jainism took root, and Sikhism finds religious ties—the response is often: “Oh, so you converted?” It’s not just curiosity—it’s suspicion.
