That's how Indians work. Everything goes back to relatives. Somene on this forum mentioned that they knw Gurudev's family and THEY thought MMY had killed him. Leaving side this claim. who can even name a member of the current Pope's family? Family ties are nowhere near as important in Western culture as they are in INdia. We don't have castes and inherited nobility any more. It's built into their religino.
