An Essay Contest! How do you live your Hindu identity differently from your parents?

The Hindu American Foundation recently announced its second annual NextGen Essay Contest.

Topic: The beauty of Hinduism, and a key reason for its longevity as a world religion, is its ability to embrace modernity.  While the philosophy of Hinduism is ever-relevant, the manner in how it is applied to everyday life continues to change with each generation.  HAF wants to know the difference between your application of Hindu philosophy to daily life and your parents’ application. How do you live your Hindu identity differently from how your parents live theirs?

Contest Dates: Monday, May 3, 2010 – Monday, June 14, 2010 (11:59pm EST)
