US Vice President JD Vance has stirred controversy after saying he hopes his Indian-origin wife, Usha, will “one day become a Christian.” Speaking at a Turning Point USA event, Vance said his wife, who grew up in a “not particularly religious” Hindu family, now often joins him at church. He added that while he wishes she embraces Christianity, “if she doesn’t, God gives everyone free will.” Vance also revealed their three children are being raised Christian and attend a Christian school. His comments drew criticism online, with author Rajiv Malhotra questioning Vance’s “insecure faith,” and historian Audrey Truschke accusing him of denying his wife’s Hindu identity. Critics said the remarks reflect a broader right-wing push to frame Christianity as the sole legitimate faith.
