On October 29th, 2010, sociology instructor Shiela Venkataswamy presented “The Hindu Way of Life” to the Ancient Civilizations class at Prairie Ridge High School. The presentation was a part of the Indus Valley Civilization unit taught by Mr. Joseph Terhaar. The focus of the presentation was how Hindu religious principles governed and continue to govern the day-to-day lives of Hindus in India. Topics included caste, sacredness of cows, belief in rebirth and karma, and the worldly nature of Hinduism which has helped Hindus adjust to changes brought about by globalization.
