I grew up in a Hindu household that acknowledged and accepted all other religions. We went to church on Sunday with my grandparents, who were Christian, we celebratedĀ EidĀ with my parents' Muslim friends, we celebrated every festival, spoke 4 languages, and for the longest time, I thought the entire world was like that, multicultura and accepting. I quickly grew up to see reality, but I staunchly remained as open minded as I could. I married a Catholic, mixed race man, who is a wonderful human being, but not once can I forget that I get to make this choice now because we were lucky and because of the life our parents made for us, the privileges and opportunities provided to us. So many of my countrymen and especially women do not have this choice.Ā
I applaud Thrity Umrigar for shedding light on a very difficult topic. I am sure this book is going to have its naysayers, but there is a lot of love in this book too. I was reminded of all the places, people, and foods I love and for that, I am so thankful.Ā
