Hindus don’t realize how they are so used to adjusting for others and sacrificing their own identity…Starting from Jesus Christ’s birth on 25th Dec to the beginning of the Christian year, Hindus are deeply involved in the celebrations.
During my extended stay at the Grand Hyatt, ten years ago in Mumbai, came Dec 25. When I went down for dinner, I found that restaurants had only Christmas dinners costing between 5500 to 9000.
I begged that I was not a Christian and I wanted my cheap 1500 meal. But they did not have the regular fare on that day. I insisted that they could not force an expensive and a foreign-religion meal on a regular Indian/Hindu hotel resident.
They were not expecting anyone to fight against the oppressive, expensive, foreign, and animals-filled meals. They, then, had a meeting of the food managers in the corner – all of them giving me dirty looks in between. All their tables had been pre-booked by other Hindus for the Christian dinner.
They finally decided that they will let me eat from the same Christian menu but at the everyday price, except that I must finish eating by 7:30 PM. I had to take it.
Hotels in America are never like this. Only in India do they take Hindus for granted.
