World Hindu Congress 2018 - III |
The Congress decided to set up a permanent secretariat in the United States or United Kingdom for the cause of Hindu rights around the globe and a group of eminent persons will be recruited to achieve the goal. Leaders said there was a need to assert a strong political voice especially in countries in the Caribbean and Africa, and developing young political leaders. A dynamic digital database of all political leaders by country is to be developed. Hindu youth should leverage their social media skills, speak out against biased portrayals of Hindus, draw attention to persecution of Hindus, educate emerging politicians on the effective use of media, and identify the key roadblock to Hindu youth in embracing their Hindu identity proudly were key points. The conference decided to establish at least 20 internships for youth who aspire to enter politics. It was recommended that temples be free from government control and expand operational outreach and to strategize how Hindu activism in the U.S. can be replicated elsewhere. The media conference called for activist media entrepreneurs who are not profit driven and how writing contemporary stories that are relevant to the present generation and make it “cool” for younger generations.
