Chapter 27

Pi overhears his parents discussing him later that day. They question how he got to be so religious, especially during a time of progress and modernization in India. They iuse their political views regarding Mrs. Ghandi and Pi's father sees her as a passing phase, just as they hope Pi's religious fervor is a passing phase. Pi's father questioned why Pi was so interested in Islam since, he was so foreign to Hinduism. They both wished that Pi could be more normal.
