Article: Beyond the Bible Belt: The Expansion of Indian-American Community

This is an excellent analysis. After coming back from a visit to Italy where I see the different churches associated with particular saints, your analysis is excellent. Indian way of (un)organized religion is different. The US is a great country for allowing people to practice whatever religious beliefs they have. Pl. continue your work.

Editorial May 2010

We are a thriving, close-knit and forward-looking community. Pravasi is continually connecting people, creating ideas, profiling leaders, showcasing talents, and providing perspectives. Pravasi Herald’s guiding principle is to be “The Bridge to the Indian Community”.

With the globalization of the world and India emerging as a dominant economy and powerhouse of talent, Indian community will have a larger role to play. It is more important than ever that we involve mainstream into our cultural events and that we are more involved in mainstream organizations. We know it is the thing to do – we have taught our kids - our second generation is already doing it.

Readers Share - Demand for withdrawal of a flawed book on Hindu History published by PENGUIN



http://www.petitiononline.com/dharma10/petition.html

Please consider posting the following message on Pravasi Herald.
Venkatram Reddy


——-Original Message——-
From: Ram Narayanan [mailto:ram@usindiafriendship.us]
Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 1:01 PM
To: Venkatram R Atigadda
Subject: Petition to withdraw an offensive and factually grossly misleading book on Indian and Hindu history


Dear Dr Venkatram Reddy:

The Penguin Group has published a book titled, “The Hindus-An Alternative History” by a professor of religions at Chicago University by name Wendy Doniger. This book contains not only many factual errors in Indian history but also misrepresents the beliefs, traditions and interpretations of a whole people.

Below is the text of a petition addressed to the President of the Penguin Group which lists some of the factual errors and offensive interpretations rampant in the book. The petition requests the Penguin President to withdraw the book immediately.

I have signed the petition. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing it yourself.

Please also consider forwarding this message to all your friends and relations living anywhere in the world
