An interesting link. Beyond a few stray and casual times, when in India, I didn’t have the opportunity of coming closely in contact with any converted Christian Maharastrian Brahmins. That may be because as the article says, most tried to conceal their Christian background.
I feel sorry for their angst while drowning in nationalist Hindu culture in order to preserve their Brahmin privilege. No one should be subject to those continuous personal conflicts and fears. I don’t think even if they fled India along with the British (like the Anglo-Indians), they would have been too happy elsewhere. Their Hindu culture and traditions would have prevented it. They might have made it in the Caribbean countries where Hindus and Christians mix and intermarry with ease but then most of those people with Indian heritage were low caste rather than Brahmin.
