U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance addressed controversy following his comments about his wife Usha Vance’s religion, clarifying that she “is not a Christian and has no plans to convert.” Vance’s earlier statement expressing hope that she might embrace Christianity sparked criticism, especially from Hindu American groups. Married since 2014, the couple has agreed to raise their children in the Christian faith while Usha continues to practice Hindu traditions. The Hindu American Foundation condemned Vance’s remarks, urging greater understanding and respect for Hinduism’s pluralistic beliefs amid growing debate on interfaith harmony in U.S. politics.
