There is So much talk about making India clean. …About Christian Cemeteries. Found a picture of one from England, which I am sharing. It has such a Peaceful look, and Clean, and even has a Bench, which has not been vandalized or carried away!
I dare not post one of Indian cemeteries. Very sadly, people use them in India to deposit Raw Potatoes.

Our eternal resting places on earth.

Somehow, I do not believe ‘that,’ my Dear Amoa! The continents have drifted, earth quakes were there, bombs have fallen, bull dozers removed earth!
But for all that, they somehow hold memories, and at least as they represent the Departed in the People’s mind, the places need respect.

Please do post one of Indian ones. We should know how we honour our ancestors

I would be stoned, by dear Rajiv! I am not ready for that before finishing my Novel! Haha! 🙂
PS: What about our ‘Toilets,’ particularly in Bus Stations in places like Tamil Nadu? 😦

Sadly you may have been fortunate to find a photo like that, as some cemeteries have suffered from vandalism and even thefts from the items left by relatives. It’s such a bad thing to do, and I don’t know how the thieves live with what they’ve done.

Thank You, Chris, for that response. It is sad if those thefts take place. But I am talking of Ugliness. North India to South India, many, many people indeed, (Mostly Non Christians), use the cemeteries as a Toilet.

Raw potatoes? Is it some kind of offering for the departed? 😉
