A discussion by Prof. Vamsee Juluri and Halley Kalyan on “Contemporary Hinduism – Horizontal Coercions Vs. Vertical Transmissions.” In this discussion, Prof. Vamsee Juluri and Halley Kalyan talk about the vertical inter-generational continuities baked into Hinduism in the form of ancestral traditions and contrast it with other religions and movements that have grown by breaking inter-generational continuities and creating horizontal unities by coercions.
The need to revive and reinforce intergenerational pedagogical connections is emphasized through the course of this discussion. In addition to the above, contemporary Hindu issues like the recent California Caste Bill controversy are also touched upon.
