Nehru posted:All my kids have WEstern names. Many years ago a Pandit came to do a Jhandi at my home and when I gave him the names he asked me why I did not give them Hindu names. I told him when in Rome do as the Romans do. I am sure he did not appreciate the answer but I am a practical person. A name does not stop anyone from worshiping Gods/ Goddesses of your choice. A name does not make you less of a person, what matters is your actions, words, behavior and service to humanity!!!!
I am Muslim and my wife is Hindu. My son's first name is Hindu and I named him after my father for his middle name.
