Thanks to the help of Canadian missionaries in her region who aided
in education and offered them religion. Her family was thus Christian
and benefited with education. Her parents held jobs as college teachers.
Gidla says that proselytization didn't help her lot.
"Christians, untouchables - it came to the same thing.
All Christians in India were untouchable.
I knew no Christian who did not turn servile
[size=10pt]in the presence of a Hindu."[/size]
