Umeshji: Give Jindal the credit that he deserves, will you? It is not like he is running against some hindus. All the other candidates are christians too. Sometimes when it comes to efficiency, religion does not count. The article you read/sent itself shows how he changed Louisiana's medicare budget from a deficit to surplus - he is already a minister (secretary) of the department of Health and Hospitals, and was a senior official in Bush administration. On top of it, he is a Rhodes scholar. What more do you need in a candidate?
Who cares about what religion he is? It was just mentioned so some would get some 'masala' to talk about, and I won't fall for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "umesh sharma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 11:58 PM Subject: [Assam] Bobby Jindal - next US Governor -a teenage victim-Dr Ambedkar-mychallenge-Laloo Yadav > Jindal, who converted to Catholicism as a teenager > http://in.rediff.com/news/2003/oct/04us1.htm > > Born to Hindu parents, Jindal converted to Christianity in his teens. > http://in.rediff.com/news/2003/oct/04us.htm > > The Hindustan Times also mentioned that Bobby -favours writing the Ten Commandments (Christian laws) on Govt buildings -perhaps drawing a que from those of so called upper-caste Hindus in Jaipur, who installed a statue of Manu-the socalled Hindu law giver -in the state High Court - and refused to have the statue of the creator of India's constitution - Dr Ambedkar's placed next to Manu's-perhaps becos he is hailed as the Dalit (socalled lower caste) messiah.
