Namaste! We are a group of Hindu American teenagers who discuss all things Hindu. We want to bring in a fresh perspective about topics that explore philosophical, historical, and cultural aspects of Hinduism.
During today's Stars, Stripes, and Sanatanis episode, our hosts recount various instances of Hindu persecution in both ancient and modern times.

The episode also includes an interview with a Bangladeshi Hindu high school student!
Though the Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of Hindu dharma, there are countless communities across the world that are proudly Hindu. Join Samyuktha and Sowmya for an informative conversation about the strength and beauty in these unique communities!

In today's podcast episode, we shed light on recent events that transpired at Rutgers with regards to Professor Audrey Truschke. With an interview of a current Rutgers student, we seek to broadcast an authentic perspective and understand how academia can spread misinformation. The views expressed in the podcast are the views of the individual speakers and do not represent the official views of HSC.
Why does Hindu society praise Devi...but simultaneously have so many problems? Sowmya and Samyuktha, seniors from California, discuss the rich history of Hindu women, the ideals of Shakti, misogyny, and how dharmic decolonization can help one use Hindu dharma as a tool of empowerment and liberation.

On this episode of Stars, Stripes, and Sanatanis, Neha Srivastava-ji of the Shaktitva Foundation meets with members of the Hindu Students Council's Texas division to discuss how to shape a more unified understanding of what Hindu femininity is. It may be difficult for Hindu adolescents to balance western standards with what our faith can teach them. This podcast, however, includes a great, nuanced take on femininity that we hope you enjoy! This is a reupload of a Charcha Chat, which is a series of Hindu talks moderated by members of the Hindu Students Council on campus.

You've probably read in your local media articles or high school textbook that the Swastika is a symbol representing hatred, violence, and prejudice. In this episode, Samyuktha and Mansa will discuss the Swastika and misconceptions behind it, and what it signifies to people all around the world. If you would like a nuanced look at this complex symbol from the perspective of Hindu-American teens, tune into this podcast!

You've probably heard before that Hinduism is not a religion, but rather, a dharmic tradition, often incorrectly translated as “a way of life”. Arushi and Srikar talk through the beauty and unity behind this unique Sanskrit word, dharma, which means “that which upholds”. If you want to learn the answer to “What makes you a Hindu?”, listen to this podcast, which is most definitely NOT your average textbook.
Namaste! We are Hindu American teens and are presenting the first-ever, Hindu podcast by Hindu-American teens.
