Roh,
I'm just speaking for myself... Living here in America, I often feel very sheltered from some of the very bad things that happen in the rest of the world. Very bad things happen here, too, but I know I often forget just how many freedoms and liberties I have while living in the USA, including, for the most part, making choices that might be illegal in other countries.
I love that you share so much about Indian culture (and I appreciate the posts of many others too who tell us about the customs in their countries as well.) As if I didn't already have enough reasons, posts such as yours remind me how much I have to be thankful for and how important it is for us to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
Kim, thank you for always being appreciative of my posts even when they may contain some uncomfortable information. Although I live in India, I have been blessed and pampered by God so much that I have not come across these painful incidents in my social circle. Living here every day is quite humbling because it reminds me of how fortunate I am and how thankful I must be for that!
Roh-Chris... Thanks sincerely for your input. Your perspective is valuable.
Thank you, Dino.
As with every country or culture in this world, India has its share of good and bad. Despite these bad practices, India is a beautiful country with such diversity that it resembles a continent in itself! The country is rich with history, flora, fauna and culture. It has something to offer to everybody, no matter their personal interests and tastes. No matter what, I love my country.
