well... i really dont believe in hinduism...sorry...no offense... but polytheism is not my cup of tea. i can of course change my religion...when i marry ...but thats not iwhat i want... my school certificate still carries my father's surname. yeah..it is easy to change my name here...... thus i just use my first name most of the time... as far as religion.. i dont find it as opium..i think it is a code of conduct..tahts why i want to convert to ISLAM.
