It takes extraordinary courage for a rich and famous Hindu to embrace Islam and be faced with the ire of Hindu extremists, who recently murdered an Australian Missionary priest and his two lovely children by burning them alive.
the celebrated Indian novelist and poetess Dr. Kamala Das is now Suraiyya.Her Krishna poems are replaced by Ya Allah. Kamala's "My Story" has been published in more than 15 languages and is a text book in Japan. Her English poetry collections Include: Summer in Calcutta, Alphabet of Lust, The Descendants, Old Play House, and Only the Soul Knows How to Sing.

Here is part of the "Times of India" article:

I like Islam's orthodox lifestyle: Kamala Das S Balakrishnan
The Times of India

MUMBAI: Noted writer Kamala Das finds herself in the eye of a storm following her recent decision to embrace Islam and change her name to Suraiya. This is not the first time she finds herself embroiled in a controversy. Her writings in the past have
generated considerable heat. But the earlier controversies were essentially
confined to literary circles. Her
decision to convert to Islam has taken Kerla by storm with applause and criticism both flying in her direction. The Times of India spoke to her over the telephone at her home in Kochi on Tuesday evening. Excerpts:
Question: When exactly did you decide to embrace Islam?
Answer: I do not remember the exact time. I think it was about 27 years ago.

Q: Why did you wait so long to convert?
A: When I discussed the matter first with my husband in the early seventies, he asked me to wait. He advised me to read books on Islam. I again thought of converting before the 1984 parliamentary elections. But, not all my children were married and settled at that time. I did not
want my decision to impact on their lives. Now, all of them are well settled and happy. Hence, I have announced my decision now.
Q: Who introduced you to Islam?
A: My first interface with Islam was through two blind Muslim children, Irshad Ahmed and Imtiaz Ahmed. They were sent to me by the National Association for the Blind since I had volunteered to read and teach the
blind. The children virtually stayed at our flat at Bank House at Churchgate, Mumbai. I was required to read them Islamic scriptures.

Q: What was it in Islam which attracted you?
A: I liked the purdah which Muslim women wore. I liked the orthodox lifestyle of Muslim women.
