Intimidating and scaring Hindus - including students as young as middle school - from speaking up and representing themselves. Targeting a Hindu event with bigotry and propaganda. Yup, that’s Pieter Friedrich for you. He tried to crash our Advocacy Day, invading the room and recording people so they feel uncomfortable and scared to come to Capitol Hill and engage in basic American civic rights. And was eventually escorted out of the room by Capitol Police. This is an encroachment of the civil rights of Hindus to host their own events and educate lawmakers. But we won’t be intimidated. We won’t back down. We are here and we stand here. Here is a write up on Pieter’s Hinduphobic, Antisemitic and anti-LBGTQ views.

In recent years, groups like Hindus for Human Rights have become very vocal - claiming to speak for Hindus and using their privileged access to cancel authentic diaspora Hindu voices. But who is this group? Who advises them? Who are their allies? An analysis of their Advisory Board and publicly declared allies throws up some interesting contradictions. Call us crazy, but a group representing diaspora Hindus should be having advisors who are (1) diaspora and (2) Hindu. Hindus for Human Rights fails on both criteria. Not to mention some problematic actions & double standards that we lay out in this short video. Please read, share, amplify so that our policymakers understand that Hindus need to be represented by authentic Hindu only voices.

The sanctum sanctorum of ANY place of worship is subject to rules and open only to AUTHORIZED personnel. Hindu temples all over the world welcome a wide variety of visitors and devotees. In this short video, CoHNA’s Dalit and Bahujan leaders share their own lived experiences of inclusion and acceptance in temples across the US. If New York media is interested in Dalit Bahujan voices, we encourage them to listen and find out more. Yashica Dutt and Hindus for Human Rights are literally trying to deny Hindu spaces the most basic rights of access, security, and authorization. Let that sink in. We can also see they have no knowledge of how Hindu temples work, because the inner sanctum is always reserved for those with the authority and training to enter and execute a skilled job. And yes, the job of a Hindu priest is a skilled one, requiring years of study and training. We ask any of these caste warriors trying to paint Hindu temples as “exclusionary” for not having open access to anyone at any time - just try walking into ANY office or shop and demanding access to their inner spaces without authorization! Show up at your local tax-payer funded school and ask to sit in the chair of the school Principal for even an hour or demand to handle the trophies on display. Try walking into your city council meeting without an invitation and demand to sit at the table reserved for councilors. Go to your local grocery store, Target or Walmart and complain if the cashier does not allow you to “touch” the cash register. Try entering a pulpit without authorization or asking to touch sacred relics in places of worship that are not Hindu. This narrative is in line with their previous attempts to demonize Hindus and create double standards in law and policy. These fake allegations and tropes were used to build a witch hunt in California prior to the introduction of the infamous caste bill by State Senator Aisha Wahab (SB 403). Now, there is an attempt to revive and recycle those tired tropes to create a two-tier society in New York State. City & State NY

The recent Saturday Night Live sketch mocking Hinduism, from disrespecting sacred mantras to misrepresenting our deities, isn’t just bad comedy...it’s harmful. These inaccurate depictions of Hindu deities and mantras perpetuate long-standing stereotypes that have fueled Hinduphobia and real-life violence against our Hindu community. We urge SNL to apologize and consider the real-world impact of perpetuating such harmful stereotypes. Comedy should bring us together, not tear us apart! Like and repost.

Open anti-Hindu hate at UC Berkeley. Each year its Student Senate approves a number of “Heritage Month” Proclamations (e.g. Latiné, Armenian, Jewish). But when Hindu students and organizations asked for a Hindu Heritage Month proclamation, they faced hate & mockery! A🧵
