Young Hindus

What do the next generation of Hindus want from their religion?

What does it mean to be a young Hindu in India today? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s South Asia correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan is in Delhi with a panel of young people aged between 18-27 who have travelled from across India to share what their faith means to them. They give their views on the caste system, Hindu nationalism, interfaith marriage, who is and is not a Hindu and the values and rituals that sustain them in their daily life.
