Zodiac,Here in India we are one billion people, and even a small minority could mean about a million people. So Christians do occupy a large portion, enough to engulf you in your neighbourhood. Both, in Kerala and here in Goa, there's a huge Christian population that I don't see sadhus walking about on my way to work (infact a huge miraculous church is right opposite the institute), or even hear a single muslim call over a loud speaker. Believe it or not, that's not how we see it here, though its painted like that across the seas. India is very tolerant to religions, and you would be surprised to find the world's largest christian retreat centre here in India, in my state - Kerala, and pretty close to where my home is. What we call it here, though, is 'unity in diversity'. So there's no such thing as a non-christian country. Its more like a multi-religious country. Maybe I could take your tip and turn this into a piece of art someday. Thanks.
