Madam,
Did your husband convert to an Iyengar or did you convert to christian?
Was your marriage performed as per hindu traditions or in a church?
I am just interested to know, no offence meant.
When the ardent, faithful devotees of the mother-of-all-religions set a precedent for others to follow by:
# brutally burning alive an innocent australian missionary with his 2 sons while they were asleep for the reason that he was doing a yeoman service among the lepers in orissa
# demolishing the babri masjid
# by torching numerous churches in gujarat
# killing numerous people in orissa, who show the other face when smitten on one
# by killing numerous missionaries in bihar to the extent that bihar is termed 'burial ground of missionaries'
perhaps some such devotee of the same 'mother-of-all-religions' would have set the same precedent for someone to commit such atrocities in england
Of course KV and Renuka are not the same person. For starters, Renuka is not a Hindu hater and Christian evangelist like KV is.
I think Ms. KV is a victim of love jihad. Ooops sorry, meant love crusade!
In earlier posts both she and her husband exposed a remarkable degree of confusion.
One is a Christian pretending to be a Brahmin and the other is a Brahmin pretending to be a Christian. It is hard to figure out who is which.

1) K.V.: Nammazhwar is a saivite savant. Reality:Nammazhwar is not a saivite.
2)K.V.:Samasrayanam is not accepted by any Iyengar. Reality: Samasrayanam is a ritual praactised by a vast number of iyengars both vadakalai and Thenkalai.
3)K.V.:Isckonites were not permitted inside the Srirangam and Jagannath Temples. Reality: They are freely permitted to go and pray in these temples.
4)K.V.:Christians of one faction practices exclusivism because they came from Hinduism where this is practised. Reality: In England Queen Mary (the notorious Bloody Mary) burned Catholics at stake for professing catholic christianity. None-not the Queen Mary nor the Catholics who were burnt at the stakes came from Hinduism.
5)K.V.: The Australian Missionary was "innocent", he was doing "yeoman" service among the lepers in Orissa. Reality: He was not innocent. He did work among the lepers only as a front. His real activity was proselytization and he went about it recklessly without giving a damn to the sentiments of the local population. (This is not a justification of the burning. only a pointing out of the facts of the case)
6)k.V.: Hindus demolished B. Masjid. Reality: It was dilapidated building where no one did any namaz. It was locked by earlier Government years back-before the demolition. Hindus had the Ram Janmsthan right there in that dilapidated building. There is o equivalency between a janmsthan and a masjid. A prayer hall can be built anywhere. A moghul king had demolished a Ram Temple there and had built the Masjid just to prove that he had muscles. He also made the Hindus pay the Jizia tax-a tax for just being a Hindu in India.
7)K.v.: numerous churches were burnt in Gujarat. Reality: No churches were burnt.
8)K.V.: Numerous people were killed in Orissa. Reality: An innuendo. How many were killed? Where was it reported? Where is the evidence? Perhaps the result of indoctrination during the mass in the church where KV prays to rev up the falling enthusiasm for proselytization.
9)KV: Numerous missionaries were killed in Bihar. Reality: What does this numerous mean? Where is the proof. Bihar has been ruled by the opposition for the last many years and the Central Govt. had a Christian in the helm of affairs. So this is another innuendo. Proof needed.
At this rate KV will earn the distinction of "The Great Innuendo and Lie Master of the Forum" award soon and I may have to open a separate thread to list each and every one of such intentional spreading of misinformation. LOL. (LOL Real)
Ahhh, thanks TKS ji for enlightening me!
Ok so we have a Christian ardhanarishvara. No wonder I was confused until now.
Yet another of one of those numerous invariably incorrect conclusion jumped at. If biswa, vaagmi, tks et al, are perfect examples of who an ideal brahmin should be, I reckon a christian ardhanareeshwara is infinite times better than a brahmin. But thankfully you folks are absolutely not brahmins as per Vyasa's definition in the bagwad gita. You folks best fit the definition of Shudhra in the Bagwad Gita.
Dont't ever imagine I would respond to any of your post in this thread any further. There cannot be a greater disgrace.
Dear Mr. Brahmachari,
Although I am far from being offended, I felt your probe seemingly touching boundaries of privacy.
All that anyone needs to know is neither my husband nor I converted. We remain human beings as always. Our marriage was performed as per Indian tradiitions by a priest bonafide and certified by the Government of India.
கால பைரவன்;252459 said:It is my opinion that caste/casteism predates religion and therefore it might be futile to expect religion to "eradicate" it. Further a religion like Hinduism with no central authority won't be able to exert the kind of influence to bring about this change. How casteism manifests can and will change (we have seen this happening over the past few decades) but this depends on several factors not just religion especially in the case of Hinduism.

Sarangji's post#4 was to the point, to answer OP.
Conversion is possible, social acceptance is conditional.
Can you tell your grand daddy's name ? Maybe !! But his father ? I doubt. Every brahmin knows the family (gothram) he belongs probably 2000 or more years ago Isn't gothram just great !!!
If not, please skip my writing and go to any other article around !
Dalits are the new Brahmins. Under the able leadership of Behenji Kum Mayawatiji the Dalits of Uttar Pradesh have found a voice and been ruling the state for decades intermittently. In other states also͵ dalits have made remarkable progress͵ although a few stray cases of discrimination might exist in certain areas. Personally speaking I wouldn‘t consider anyone except the smokers as untouchable. The smokers of course͵ while at it͵ฯare unapproachable by anyone caring for his health.
