Hey, I wanted to remind my friends in #India that #LoveJihad isn't real. Plenty of people across the world are in #interfaithrelationships and keep their own faith, stay in love and trust each other. My trusted former neighbors are a Protestant Christian and Jew, still together, raised great sons around my age who I grew up with. They go to church and synagogue. I have faith that Hindu (and Jain, Sikh, etc) Indians are no different from anyone else and can love unconditionally. #NoVoteToBJP
