Hindu groups sue California board, discussion

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

recently in the United States, HIndu groups are still trying to change

the curriculum on Hinduism in schools. In grade six books HInduism is

depicted as a backward religion and this has offended many US HIndus

who are trying to push for more knowledge on the Hindu religion. The

Vivekananda Centre in the UK have done and are continuing to do a very

good job about explaining HInduism in British Schools and making the

wider public aware of the depth of the Hindu faith. I would be

interested to know from US Hindus about how they are seen as HIndus

and what steps HIndu orgainisations are taking to remvoe this bias

towards HIndu religion In the US. A wider discussion is how the Hindu

community worldwide can promote proper awareness of Hinduism and if

education in schools is actually working to promote tolerance and

awareness towards Hinduism. The aricle link is posted below.
