The same @HudsonInstitute ’s Paul Marshall who started with “Hinduism and Terror” is now onto “The Hindutva Threat Outside India.” No Hindu terror attacks here—ever—but plenty of scaremongering & anti-Hindu hate crimes are up. Maybe think tanks should think about that.

I mean the folks over ⁦ @TheEconomist ⁩ could contain their sneering condescension for Indians. But why bother when us “messy” brown savages are spoiling the “friendly and orderly West”? No, can’t have that. No way. 🤡

Patwardhan at #DGH just invoked the #Hinduphobic term #Brahmanism to reduce Hindus to caste. Does he know the anti-Semitic roots of the term? Does he care?

The @CNN chyron says everything you need to know of a deep anti-India animus infesting mainstream media today. That bias easily manifests as #Hinduphobia when Hindu American advocacy is neatly dismissed as “far-right.” Connect the dots.

Here’s @nytimes @jonathanweisman saying it out loud: @VivekGRamaswamy ’s liability is that he “maintains his Hindu faith” and oh, there’s this “Hindu hierarchy”? We keep saying caste is a stereotype only used to target Hindus. No one else. Who would #SB403 target? #SayNoToSB403

PS @auntylectuals You are NOT teachers of Hindu traditions. You are people who study Hinduism through a very particular lens. The teachers of Hindu traditions are our gurus, our mothers and fathers, our aunts and uncles, and our sisters and brothers. Stay in your lane.

Jews mark the Exodus of the 8th century BCE, Muslims the Hegira from 6th century AD & Christians the Crucifixion from 2000 yrs ago. But to you @davidfrum , an oppressive tyrant who killed millions, destroyed celebrated Hindu temples & beheaded Sikh Gurus should just be forgotten?

Would @mehdihasan point to Islamic scripture or Muslim advocates as responsible for ISIS or 9/11 since OBL used them to justify his attack? He wouldn't, because it would be wrong. But Hindus are uniquely acceptable to be targeted thus? 3/5

This is the colossal breadth of Hindu scripture. Yet what do most textbooks & some academics obsess over in the name of pinning “caste” upon Hindu society? I’ve circled it but you can barely see it. Credit @pburavalli for the share.

IAMC's last (mis)adventure in Chicago was teaming up with CAIR to target a Hindu child over a fake Quran burning allegation. That fizzled out, so hey, why not use contacts over at the @Suntimes editorial board to gin up another frenzy fearmongering over Hindu Chicagoans.

Always entertaining when non-Hindus police us as to when and where Hindus are allowed to take offense. To be clear, #HinduAmericans are upset about the horrific “Jai Shree Ram” tweet AND the #Hinduphobic “misogynist pig” tweet. Maybe sit this one out.

Silence? India's foreign minister chose not to meet with the sponsor of the first anti-India resolution in 7 years--how is that silencing? But @RepJayapal silenced 500,000 #KashmiriPandits in introducing a #Kashmir resolution that erases Pandits and never mentions Pakistan.

Efforts to silence @PramilaJayapal are deeply troubling. The U.S. and India have an important partnership—but our partnership can only succeed if it is rooted in honest dialogue and shared respect for religious pluralism, democracy, and human rights.
