They have three daughters and one son. Their 10-year-old daughter, Namrata, taught the world a lesson about forgiveness when her story was in the news.<\/p>\n<p>Radical Hindus in Orissa recently attacked Christian families and property. When the violence began Akhaya and Sudhamani left their home, a wooden shack, to hide in the forest. They sent Namrata and their other children to hide with their oldest daughter Trusita. Truista worked as a live-in housekeeper for a Christian family. Radical Hindus attacked the house. The children hid in a bathroom. The Hindus left, but they put a bomb in a dresser drawer on their way out.<\/p>\n<p>The Christians left the house after the attackers were gone, except\u00a0Namrata. She was curious and wanted to explore the damages. The bomb exploded and Namrata got hurt. Akhaya and Sudhamani returned the next day. They took Namrata to the\u00a0hospital where the doctors helped her heal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/martianuswb.com\/?attachment_id=249\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-249\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-249\" title=\"Namrata\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/martianuswb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Namrata.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martianuswb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Namrata.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martianuswb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Namrata-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/martianuswb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Namrata-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/martianuswb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Namrata-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Many other Christians were hurt in the Orissa attacks.
