Dear Friends,

I am a dalit christian (Catholic). When I was small my grandfather used to tell me that we dalit's and we are not allowed to go into the temples of Hindu's. My grandfather told us, but some years later one European priest came to our village and constructed a small church and one crusy fix was installed in the church and my grandfather was standing outside the church and was thinking it was the same like Hindu temple that he must enter the church. But, the priest keeping his hand on my grandfather's shoulder and said "come inside - he is your GOD" who has come to relieve you from all evils. HE loves the poor and you are not an untouchable. Come and pray to HIM. Like this all our families became Christians. Now in Jesus we have peace and happiness.

My dear Hindu brothern, why do you thrown out when we are dalit's? Still the dalit's don't have enterance into the Hindu temples!!! Only one GOD, but I believe and i have faith in only Jesus Christ, who has relieved us from all dangers. When we are sick, the christian hospital's only gave us treatment, when we are without clothes, the Priests only clothed us and when we are hungry, they gave us food and what else we want? As our Lord (Jesus Christ) said we will still pray for you all. Angelo
