WASHINGTON, DC, May 8, 2010: HAF is excited to launch its second annual NextGen Essay Contest, open to all writers between the ages of 17 and 27 years. The theme this year is, “How do you live your Hindu identity differently from how your parents live theirs?”
As the Foundation continues its advocacy efforts, it is also aware of the need to reach out to the future of Hindu American leadership. The annual NextGen Essay Contest aims to engage this generation by urging them to focus on their Hindu identity.
Some more information about this year’s topic: The beauty of Hinduism, and a key reason for its longevity as a world religion, is its ability to embrace modernity. While the philosophy of Hinduism is ever-relevant, the manner in how it is applied to everyday life continues to change with each generation. HAF wants to know the difference between your application of Hindu philosophy to daily life and your parents’ application.
