Longtime readers of Hindtrospectives are familiar with my “Linksies” posts. Twice a week I offer a round-up of articles, videos and podcasts on political news and analysis, religion, race, culture and the media. I have a special focus on religious diversity in the United States and Western Europe, but feature news and analysis from around the world. I hope my new readers will also appreciate these news round-ups.
