Kultur Church

With Oxford’s theological roots, the college chapels have some of the best choirs and services in the western world. The sort of service Chelsea was attending is described as high church by the British—an elegant faith which has more to do with culture than religious belief. Makes one wonder about the Hindutva’s ideas of elegant culture. Ungainly shorts worn way above the navel does not sit easy with any notion of culture. As for language, literature and poetry, Atalji’s soliloquies on Indo-Pak relations sung by some ghazal singer represent the high end of the cultural pole.
