America takes pride in being a secular state which aims to protect the religious rights of everyone. But can we say the same about American society?

A temple in Texas recently inaugurated a large Hanuman statue in its premises. This is one of the largest religious statues of the United States and it created a spirit of joy and celebration among the Hindu American community.
