Hindu American Foundation launched
14.20 IST 08th May 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

A group to further understanding of Hinduism and promote its ethos
of tolerance and pluralism has been launched in the United States.

The 'Hindu American Foundation' would provide a voice for the two
million-strong Hindu community in the US by interacting with
government, media, think-tanks and the public about the religion and
issues concerning them, according to a release from the group in
Washington.

At a function on May 5, the Foundation members interacted with over
a dozen US legislators with the purpose of furthering understanding
of Hinduism and promoting its ethos of tolerance and pluralism, the
release said.

Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living Foundation was also present.

Shankar said liberty, assimilation and pluralism are the salient
features of both American and Hindu cultures.

HAF President Mihir Meghani said the attendance of many
Congressional leaders was a reflection of the rising numbers and
growing contributions of Hindu Americans.
