The journey of the World Hindu Congress, which gives voice to the common concerns of the Hindu society at the global level, has been very glorious. Its first international conference was held in the year 2014 in the country’s capital New Delhi, where the foundation of this global initiative was laid. After this, the second grand event was organized in the year 2018 in America’s historic city of Chicago to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s historic 1893 World Parliament of Religions speech. The third conference was successfully concluded in the year 2023 in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, where the historical ties of Hindu culture in South-East Asia were underlined. Now in its fourth edition in 2026, this event in Mumbai is all set to give a new direction to the organized power, economic leadership and intellectual discussion of Hindu society at the global level.
