As immigrants, we must also do our part in integrating and assimilating, contributing the best of our cultures of origin to the country we now call home. Breaking the Cycle of Fear: How Immigrants Can Win Over America During our most recent inauguration, I witnessed a critical moment for immigrants in the United States, as Usha Vance, an Indian American, became Second Lady alongside her husband, Vice President J.D. Vance. Standing nearby on the dais was Melania Trump, the first... Read more

Beyond the Headlines: Finding Humanity at Wind River Reservation. In 2012, five years before the film Wind River brought attention to the stark realities of Native American life on the big screen, my son, Ryan, and I visited the Wind River Reservation. Among the things that have made my life so fulfilling are the people I have met and built relationships with on six continents. As an Indian American, I felt an affinity with the Native American people—the original inhabitants of... Read more

In the past few days, you’ve likely heard the song “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson on the radio or TV—a fitting tribute to music legend Quincy Jones, who passed away Sunday night at the age of 91. Celebrated for his monumental contributions to music and entertainment, Jones was the mastermind behind Jackson’s iconic Thriller album (1982), organized the star-studded charity single We Are the World (1985), and produced the acclaimed film The Color Purple (1985), as well as the beloved...

How Do We Create More Jobs? This is India’s central economic challenge—not building more temples! In my Patheos article from October 2, I wrote about my whirlwind tour of India with my son, Ryan Ghosh, in January 2024. We experienced the richness of India’s spiritual diversity firsthand as we traveled across the country, visiting temples, mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras, and many other religious sites, including a glimpse of the Ram Mandir, the controversial Hindu temple in Ayodhya, built on the ruins...

Exploring India’s Religious Harmony: A Father-Son Journey

Last updated on: October 2, 2024 at 11:07 am By Neil Ghosh

Seeking Religious Harmony in a Divided World Growing up, we were taught that the fundamental principle of Hinduism is that God is in everyone, that everyone is divine, and that all human beings are fundamentally equal. I have been deeply concerned about the increasing religious polarization in recent years. So, earlier this year, my 28-year-old son Ryan and I embarked on a whirlwind tour of India, the country of our birth. We wanted to experience the country’s incredibly rich variety... Read more

The events of August 12, 2017, shook the nation. They also left a deep impression on me. So deep that I first went there to speak with residents on August 13. Seven years later, in June 2024, I returned to Charlottesville, this time with my son, Ryan Ghosh, who represents the same generation as Heather Heyer. It is their generation, just now emerging into positions of leadership and making its voice heard, that will dispel the hatred that breeds such... Read more

Muhammad Yunus takes oath as head of Bangladesh’s interim government. This is important news to me for many reasons: I got to know Muhammad Yunus over the years, and hold him in high esteem. We have family friends in Bangladesh—they are both Muslims and Hindus. My father and his family came to India from Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the world’s eighth most populous country, a majority-Muslim nation strategically located between India and China. Most importantly, it’s time to build bridges and... Read more
