How do you know that Mary is a Christian? One of my distant relatives is a born Hindu. Even her great great grand father was a born Hindu. Her name is also Mary. Mary Chengappa.
Aruna could be a Christian. A friend of mine Arjuna D’souza runs a Jym at my place. He is a born Christian.

Incidentally, Mary’s daughter is Ganga!

Sorry to insult the elephants, but they remind me of members of the BJP cabinet in Karnataka with the guest pachyderm Gadkari.
