What if we could wipe the slate clean of colonial narratives and begin to learn and present our tradition in its entirety, with its important contextual nuances? What if we could examine Hindu history and dharma through archeological, genetic, literary, and sociological

This series is so fun…do tap in!.
Welcome to Episode 7 of What’s in a Word?.We’re back with another fresh episode and this time, we’re taking on the word “sin.”.Is there a true equivalent for “sin” in Hindu thought? Often times, sin is used to translate pāpa, but is that really accurate? Short answer: No. But

Going to blame this “transnational” gangster from Canada, working in cahoots with Irish and Turkish criminal syndicates, on India, Canada or Ireland? 🤔. But we know better. This is the “transnational” threat we need SB 509 to address. @kbolan @VancouverSun link in thread…

Yesterday was another powerful reminder of the power of advocacy and unity. The Hindu American community was present in full force in Sacramento, in oppositioin to SB 509. We deeply appreciate @CASenCaballero & @AsmRansom's commitment to improve the bill so that it cannot be.
Yesterday, HAF’s Samir Kalra testified against SB 509 before the Assembly Emergency Mgmt Committee. We appreciate @CASenCaballero and Chair @AsmRansom.for their work to improve the bill and ensure law enforcement trainings on transnational repression are not weaponized against

“He ascribed his longevity to a vegetarian diet and abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”. That and running…quite a formula to have run a marathon at 100 years of age. What an an amazing life #FaujaSingh!

Competing in London in 2011, he claimed to be 100, though his exact age remained a mystery. “I run while talking to God,” he said in explaining his endurance.

The level of violence and malice associated with the Khalistan movement in California and Canada is intense and our staff has faced threats from related entities. More on the arrest here:.

Why should we be disappointed when @VivekGRamaswamy calls out the racist fringe on the left and right? . This is an example of putting principle before politics and we should welcome it!.
Very disappointed that @VivekGRamaswamy has decided to throw his support in for @ZohranKMamdani. This is a man who stood in a protest rally laughing as Khalistani supporters shouted “Hindu harami hai” (Hindus are bastards) and chose not to campaign in any Hindu temple or ask the.

So proud to have our own @Sangi_shankar21 testifying and supporting the efforts of Hindu American California legislators @AsmDarshana @Ash_Kalra to offer Diwali lessons!.
Yesterday, Sangeetha Shankar, HAF’s California Regional Director, testified in support of AB 268 before the Senate Education Committee. Asm. Ash Kalra and Asm. Darshana Patel, along with their chiefs of staff, were present as the amended bill moves forward to introduce Diwali as

Some symmetry: Many of us have spent rewarding careers building and nurturing @HinduAmerican and spreading awareness about anti-Hindu hate. And many, like @mukta_jo, are building careers, writing in Al Jazeera to @JewishCurrents, attacking HAF and denying that Hinduphobia.
What a week at HAF!!. Right after @MotherJones' nasty hit piece calling us foreign agents, @JewishCurrents claims HAF “misclassifies” hate incidents and advances a political agenda. Here’s why these accusations are misleading and ignore the lived realities of Hindu Americans.

Would left-wing media outlets like @guardian @MotherJones cover a random, spurious allegation written by a right-wing law firm targeting a religious minority. Not likely. But when the minority is Hindu Americans, different rules apply?.
Recent articles in @MotherJones Jones and @guardian cover a spurious allegation that @HinduAmerican acts as an unregistered foreign agent of India. This claim is legally unfounded, factually incorrect, and dangerous for civil society. A short thread with facts and context 🧵

The shooting of a Hindu temple in Utah is finally garnering widespread coverage. Not a random event of anti-Hindu hate, authorities believe. It galls me that while we face this, there are fringe Hindu groups that actively deny Hinduphobia even exists.

(RNS) — About 20 shell casings were recovered by Utah County police, who stated shots were likely fired from over 100 yards away from the temple property.
