Those who are lucky dwell in a special Christian colony built some years ago by the Diocese.It is noteworthy for the spotless condition in which the homes are kept.

There are no social services which match those to which we are accustomed in the United Kingdom. There are no subsidised or free medicines, however poor you are. There is no unemployment pay. Unless there is someone to help, you can expect to die young for lack of medication.

There is real discrimination against Christians. One of the priests at Sardhana was murdered in the approach to the church. The perpetrators were caught and discharged it being decided that it was no crime to kill a Catholic priest.He is remembered by a monument erected on the spot by his parishioners. It is a real test of faith to persevere in the Christian religion.
