Televised roundtable discussions, debates, and other problem-solving forums where issues of local and national interests are discussed have traditionally been held with only Christian and Jewish religious leaders. However, because of 9\/11, Islamic leaders have since been included in these forums. Finally last month Hindu leaders have been represented in such forums. The Public Broadcasting System (PBS) was the first to include a Hindu representative, along with members of the three other major religious, in a recent 30 minute broadcast from the Houston area. The force behind this change in Houston is Swapan Bhattacharjee and he already preparing a &#8220;panel of Hindu experts&#8221; for other television programs.
