Introduction to Hinduism: History, Beliefs, and Living Traditions
Discover the richness and complexity of Hinduism in this accessible introduction. The talk provides an overview of key beliefs, deities, and practices, before considering how Hindu ideas and identities are reflected in social and political life—particularly in modern India and the diaspora. By situating Hinduism in these broader contexts, the session highlights both the diversity of the tradition and its contemporary relevance.
