Hriday is a sophomore at Canadian Academy. While he was originally born in India, he has lived in Japan his whole life and so has ties with both cultures. Yet his Indian parents, religion, and language connect him heavily to his culture and so has gone through quite some trouble to truly accept himself for who he is. He has been made fun of, for his name, cultural stereotypes, and his cultural preferences. Since then, he has gained a lot more information on his nation. He has learned about India's history, the issues, and its beauty and has learned to accept his nation for who he is. A few years later, he realized that he used to have what is called a colonial mentality, and is an issue that affects millions of children around the world. As such, through his talk, he aims to inspire and impact children and help parents understand the issues of a colonial mentality, and what needs to be done to overcome it.
