Your family visited the temple regularly and celebrated Holi\, Diwali\, and Hindu festivals in a grand way. You sent your children off to college with a foundation in Hinduism.  \nBut each time they come home\, you notice they question their Hindu upbringing more and more. And tensions in the household arise. Your children are citing their progressive professors who discuss Hinduism as an hierarchical caste-based tradition\, their college newspaper that runs a piece denying the tragedy of Kashmiri Pandit experience\, and their classmates that share ill-sourced\, but compelling Instagram posts which portray Hindus as oppressors in India.  \nYour attempts to dialog with them are seemingly futile.  And you ask yourself\, “How did this 180 degree change happen? How do I get through to them?”  \nJoin me for an engaging conversation with three young adults as we take a deeper dive to what really happens on college campuses\, why Hindu American kids are doing a 180\, and how we\, as parents\, can have a real conversation with our children. \nRegistration is required.  \nWE WILL RESERVE TIME FOR Q&A AT THE END.

The media – liberal or conservative – amplifies the extremes and those voices that bolster their narrative. Most no longer stick with facts. Rather “news” stories are peppered with editorialized commentary about particular individuals\, groups\, and traditions. All too often\, this editorializing is not based on accurate historical accounts or the realities on the ground\, but on the reporters’ or news outlets’ inherent biases. This is certainly the case in the reporting of India\, Hinduism\, and Hindus. \nOn December 1\, we’ll delve into understanding why these distortions happen\, the impact they have on our community\, and what HAF is doing about it. \nJoin HAF’s Executive Director\, Suhag Shukla\, for a lively discussion with Kushal Mehra and Abhijit Iyer-Mitra. \nKushal\, who runs the popular Carvaka Podcast\, is known for his outspoken views on Hindutva and the West’s misunderstanding of Hinduism and India. Abhijit\, a defense and international affairs analyst by background\, is a frequent commentator on all things India and Hindu. Together\, these two experts bring a fresh and unique perspective that is provocative\, witty\, and always entertaining. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_H8h8BoAVRhCAGkH6ZmJd8A” text=”REGISTER”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
