Carols or pop songs?

On Tuesday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley invited Christian leaders, journalists and Christians from different walks of life to a get-together at his house in New Delhi. This was Jaitley's way of reaching out to the Christian community. Jaitley, who had studied in St Xavier's School in Delhi, praised the three young singers who sang Christmas carols. Some lower-rung Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, more accustomed to the prayers and songs sung at the shakhas of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), were asking if the songs being sung at the get-together were indeed religious songs or Western pop songs.
