April Liberation Baithak

Description:
Join us for our April Liberation Baithak as we speak with Rajmohan Gandhi about themes from his newly published book, Do You Know Your Hinduism? Notes for Modern-Day Hindus (Aleph Book Company, 2026).
This conversation will reflect on what it means to be Hindu today and what Hinduism asks of us in a world shaped by rancor, resentment, war, nationalism, and injustice. Together, we will explore Hinduism not as a fixed identity, but as an evolving ethical and spiritual tradition—one that can be consciously interpreted, lived, questioned, and reimagined.
Bringing together reflection, critique, and dialogue, this baithak asks a simple but urgent question: Where do we go from here?
