HPI
KAUAI, HAWAII, March 18, 2012: In HPI on March 17, the second article, “New Jersey Balaji Temple’s Hinduism Summit” contains this inaccurate statement: “a study indicates that over 1/3rd of youth from Hindu families in America may be converting out of Hinduism.” There has been no study reaching this conclusion. The statement refers to an informal estimate that possibly 1/3rd of youth from Hindu families in America are marrying outside of Hinduism, but even that estimate offered no statistics on actual conversion.
