If you already know some Hindi and wish to try to retain and practice what is already learnt, this is the perfect class for you. Hindi grammar requires practice and repetition to memorize, hence in addition to doing multiple hands-on exercises to cement what you already know, eventually the class takes baby steps to introduce some other intermediate topics. An hour well spent doing mental-gymnastics! :)

India is a dynamic mix of race, ethnicities and socio-economic classes - true; but deep down there are further classifications which are invisible to the naked eye (pun intended). Surnames/second names of people in addition to their linguistic/regional/familial background marks them with an indelible identity label that can either slingshot them into prosperity or prove as hindrance to receiving opportunities they deserve (independent of their merit).
Why does this happen? What is this cyclical pattern? Who is this for? Where are we going with this? How does this affect choice of partners and marital prospects of individuals?
Discover more on this and satiate your Q&A regarding one of the most controversial and sensitive topics of the contemporary Indian Society.
