India has developed a ritual for renouncing Communism that might not appeal to many:
Calcutta, Sept. 17: After decades of chanting the Marxist mantra, if a communist, like transport minister Subhas Chakraborty...has a change of heart and wants to embrace
Hinduism, there is a certain way they need to follow, say pandits and purohits.
The priests hold that since Chakraborty has been a communist for long and has probably eaten beef during the period, he should observe a purification ritual.
Which is:
Mix equal proportions of milk, curd, ghee, cow urine and cow dung and lace it with honey. Taken at sunrise after a bath, it is said to cleanse the body of past sins and bring one back into the Hindu fold.
