As a panelist in an Event of the Hindu University of America (HUA)

I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion on December 14, 2024, for a fundraising project supporting the Hindu University of America (HUA). HUA is dedicated to exploring and promoting

ancient Indian knowledge systems. During the discussion, I shared my perspectives on the scope and significance of HUA's endeavors.

I highlighted the stark reality that academic environments for Hindu theological studies are scarce, not only in India but also globally. Currently, only a handful of institutions in India, located in Pune, Nagaland, Kottayam, and Dehradun, offer academic programs in theology, but these courses focus primarily on Christian studies. Internationally, numerous institutions offer programs in theology for various religions, but Hinduism remains a glaring exception.

Furthermore, I emphasized the lack of opportunities for publishing research papers on Hinduism, as there are no reputable universities to encourage and support such publications. Despite India ranking fourth in research output globally, none of these efforts focus on Hindu studies. This is where the Hindu University of America can play a vital role by inviting papers, exploring Hinduism-related topics, and providing a platform for publishing and disseminating knowledge.

In light of the negative publicity surrounding caste issues in Western circles, I stressed the importance of creating a digital repository of Hindu thought on caste and other relevant topics. This repository would serve as a valuable resource for promoting awareness and understanding.

Finally, I noted that the Government of India's proposal to fund subscriptions for various research papers presents an opportune moment for HUA to seek support for its publishing efforts and digital library creation. By collaborating with HUA, we can work towards bridging the knowledge gap and promoting a deeper understanding of Hinduism and its rich cultural heritage.
