Her "conversion" doesn't bother me. She said she still attends Gurudwara on occasion and if someone converts or stops believing that is there business, I wouldn't disparage 'em for it. Also, I think the consensus has been that she is not especially religious but that she attends Church with her family. I also find the dissection of Haley's and Jindal's religious beliefs to be very intolerant and ignorant. We don't know why they converted or why they believe what they do. They shouldn't be questioned for their religious beliefs in such a way.Jeeti said:

If you went by Jeeti instead of Harjeet that wouldn't be a compromise of your values (I think). If she is using the nickname her family gave her I can't really fault her. Now if she just made her name Suzy Haley or something I would understand that it is obviously compromising. The last name change, I agree that is a compromise if she used to go by Randhawa-Haley but got rid of the hyphen. I'm sure it helped, I think a lot of people were even surprised she was Indian, they just assumed she was white.Jeeti said:
