The webinar series will be organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America and the Hindu University of America. In a joint statement, the Hindu University of America and Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America said the series of webinars have been organized to reprise the long history of the Hindu struggle and eventual victory to reclaim this sacred symbol of our civilization narrative. This “Good over Evil” struggle will be recounted in five parts, it said.
