Dr Meghani advocates for raising concerns particular to Hindu Americans, highlighting the significant progress achieved by the organisation and community. He emphasizes the importance of balanced teaching of Hinduism in American textbooks and highlights Hinduism as not just a religion but a way of life. Dr Meghani points out that community support is often provided by passionate individuals, not necessarily the wealthiest. Notably, the founders of the Hindu American Foundation have collectively contributed around $4 million, with ambitious plans to double the budget to $5 million next year. Dr Meghani emphasizes the challenge of a lack of firm understanding of what is at stake for the community. The interview concludes with a call to address this challenge by giving back to the community and establishing institutions to sustain the Hindu-American civilization.
