SOUTH AFRICA, September 4, 2011 (indianexpress.com): Hindus in South Africa are joining forces in a single umbrella group to address problems facing youth, such as drug abuse, HIV and violence. Pragasen Pillay, founder of the Hindu Youth Network (HYN), explained that the various linguistic subgroups within Hinduism had not been united, each working toward its own goals. By working together in a single group, efforts can be better coordinated and will be more effective. The HYN will also groom the Hindu leaders of the future. Existing Hindu organizations have not invested efforts in developing their youth members, Pillay said.
