You might check into Chapel Missions India, or Calvary Chapel of Boise ID,
which does work in Mumbay and elsewhere specifically with the untouchables,
and orphans. And need I mention Mother Theresa?

would have on the threat of war is hard to say. I believe it would go hand
in hand with pluralism and integration with the West.
