So, if I were to go to India, I might also feel a bit out-of-place, but that would not give me the right to remake the country.
What sort of people are we talking about here, who are so dleicate that a Christmas tree hurts them? Do we really want to increase the proportion of such weaklings in our population?
No, it is all phony. I have met Sikhs, for example, who don’t mind Christmas trees at all. I am sure that it is easier than having Muslims nearby.
I also really do not mind other peoples’ holidays. I rather like the Lunar New Year: a great time for a feast of Chinese (or Korean) food. Similarly the Indian Feast of Lights does not seem to me to be at all anti-Christian, and the food and friendship are good. I have never been harmed by any Jewish holiday.
But maybe I am just a tough guy!
Actually, if you google “Christmas Decorations in India” or omit Decorations, in news or images, you get a pretty good feel of the celebrations there - granted, Bombay is an exception but no nonChristian takes the decorations of the season as an offense.
Christians celebrate Divali and other festivals and are reciprocated at Christmas by Hindu and even Muslim friends.
There are Christmas trees in virtually all the big hotels and many restaurants dress themselves up, so you can have dosas or tandoori with Xmas decor all around.
