Interesting story and interpretation Raghav! I bet they were shocked at your chotto muzukashii response. A Japanese speaking Indian is likely a rare individual. The encounter with Buddhist evangelicals is curious, and makes me wonder if it's due to Kyoto having a concentration of temples? Next time you encounter, you could recite some sanskrit texts -- are these the source of Buddhist inspirations, and then you could flip the evangelism on them. Thanks for sharing Raghav.
