HINDUS MARRY IN NEW YORK
Columbia University Continue
Romance of Childhood.

New York.--Miss Radhabai Pawar,
a Brahminee, and Shankar M. Pagan,
Brahmin, members of the Hindu priest
ly caste, were married recently at the
Vedanta society's meeting place here.
This was a continuation of a ro-
nance which began years ago in In
dia, and has flourished in the quiet
corridors of Columbia university,
where both bride and bridegroom are
successful students.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pagan were born in the
state of BarOda, India. They fell in
love when they were children. Pagan
won scholarship at the University of
Bombay and, six years ago, the govern
ment of Baroda sent him to the United
States to complete his education.
There are only two orthodox Brah-
min temples in America, one in BOs-
ton, the other in San Francisco. So
Miss Pawar and Pagan decided to be
married by a member of the Vedanta
society, where are expOunded the
teachings of the Hindu orthodox school
of philosophy.
The learned pair will remain at Co
lumbia until next June, when they
will complete their studies. Then they
will return to India and engage in
government educational service.
