I am not a practicing hindu, in private or in public. And I am quite open
about calling certain hindu godmen (including one silk dressed hippie with a
few rape cases against him, a US embassy advisory that doesn't quite name
him, etc etc) frauds. Which doesn't particularly endear me to some of my
relatives who have huge portraits of the guy that they worship.
