The questions are intelligent, articulated and relevant. &#8220;All my friends are American Caucasian, Hispanic, and African American. How do I help them understand Hindu values?&#8221; and &#8220;Do you find religion divisive? I do. Why can&#8217;t we get along, unite and present a strong, united front?&#8221; are some examples.<\/p>\n<p>The article appeared in the August 21, 2009, edition of Indo-American News.
