When I asked them why they don\u2019t eat meat on a Tuesday, their answer was normally, \u201cbecause my parents told me not to.\u201d I have also asked my parents why they fast on certain days but I never get a clear answer as to why? I have begun to realize that I am not alone and that many students today are fed up of practicing a \u201cblind faith\u201d; doing things without having a proper explanation or reason behind it.<\/p>\n<p>This year, National Hindu Students\u2019 Forum (NHSF (UK)) have asked students across the UK what questions they want answered and have taken on the challenge in answering these; some of the most complex and controversial questions facing Hindus in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century. NHSF (UK) brings to you <strong>\u2018BIG HINDU QUESTIONS\u2019<\/strong> on Saturday <strong>24th November at University of Wolverhampton<\/strong> (Walsall Campus). We believe that long gone are the days where blind faith is sufficient. Young Hindus are seeking answers to important questions about their faith and its origins; NHSF (UK) is determined to have these questions answered.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a burning question you need answering or you simply want to inquire into the great minds of world renowned Hindu Scholars and Professors then this is your chance \u2013 the floor is yours. NHSF (UK) presents to you a \u2018reality check\u2019 at one of the most awaited conferences of the year \u2013 \u2018Big Hindu Questions.\u2019 With 3 talks and a choice of 8 workshops, this is an event that is not to be missed.
