Another controversy. Same pattern. And the truth is already riling up Yashica Dutt. Claims of “casteism” over Hindu temple murti access are back in the spotlight, this time driven by Yashica Dutt and amplified by Audrey Truschke. But is this about caste… or about cultural misunderstanding being repackaged as... show more

Well… that escalated quickly. When President Donald J. Trump casually labeled India a ‘hellhole,’ it didn’t just raise eyebrows, it set off a much bigger conversation about how India and Indians are being talked about on the global stage. HAF was one of the first Hindu American organizations to object to this rhetoric publicly. This week on HAF Reacts, Samir Kalra, Mat McDermott, Raj Rao, and Suhag Shukla unpack that moment, the growing surge in anti-Indian sentiment, and a troubling new blasphemy law in Punjab that has serious implications for free expression.

We’re excited to launch HAF Reacts, a brand new podcast series that’s raw, unscripted, and unapologetically honest. In this episode, HAF's Mat McDermott, Suhag A. Shukla, and independent scholar Dr. Indu Viswanathan discuss the issues we see with an event that happened at Rutgers University on October 27, 2025, featuring Professor Audrey Truschke, titled "Hindutva in America: A Threat to Equality and Religious Pluralism.” They unpack the bias, misinformation, and why it matters for Hindu Americans.

In this episode of HAF Reacts, Samir directly confronts the growing hostility toward Indian and Hindu Americans on H-1B visas and the shifting excuses used to justify it. First, there are allegations of fraud. Then it claims that Indian Americans are “unassimilable.” When that fails, the narrative turns to fear of being “replaced.” But the facts don’t support these claims. Indian American families are deeply engaged in their communities, from the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to schools, faith spaces, and civic life. They work hard, follow the rules, give back, and raise children who are active, engaged, and American in every meaningful way. When online attacks escalate to posting photos of children, as we saw in the recent Frisco incident, it becomes clear this was never about visas or policy. It’s about discomfort with “too many brown people” succeeding. Samir breaks down why this rhetoric is dangerous and why it must be called out. Watch the full episode. Tune in now 👉

Important video showing the timeline of Rajiv Sinha, who is masquerading as a Hindu and is the director of Pakistan’s ISI-controlled group called “Hindus for Human Rights.” He never posts about the plight of Hindus in Pakistan or Bangladesh or Hindu temples vandalised by Khalistan extremists in Canada or in the US. He follows and shares Audrey Truschke, who distorts Hindu history, and anti-Hindu handles like the “UK Indian Muslim Council” and “Indian American Muslim Council”, funded and operated by Pakistan’s ISI. He vary of such people and organisations.

The Khudavang Monastery is one of the important examples of Azerbaijan’s historical and cultural heritage. All religious and cultural monuments in Azerbaijan are protected and restored by the state, which demonstrates Azerbaijan’s commitment to preserving its cultural legacy. Unfortunately, during the Armenian occupation, many cultural and religious monuments of Azerbaijan were destroyed, looted, or falsified. The Khudavang Monastery was also subjected to distortion and falsification as part of this vandalism. After the war, Azerbaijan is seriously committed to the restoration of cultural heritage in these territories, and its experience in this field can serve as an example. The restoration and preservation of monuments like Khudavang in their original historical shape are part of this policy.

A Christmas procession in Kerala - keep the Hindu Chende vadya, the Dhoti and the Utriya. Remove the Hindu core, add a Christmas cap. This is not syncretism. It is cultural digestion. Hindu forms kept, Hindu meaning stripped and rewritten. This is how cultures are appropriated and repackaged. Watch this Upword video to understand inculturation and the digestion of Hindu practices. Be alert. Know the difference. Dharma survives only when we protect both rituals and their core. Video credit - Upword Sangam Talks

Ok, we are going to be blunt! This entire mess was manufactured by the Sikh Coalition. It was driven by selective outrage, distortion, and deliberate misrepresentation to drum up their agenda and thus rightfully demands a direct response. In this no-holds-barred episode of HAF Reacts, we dismantle the noise and call it what it is. We take on the reckless accusations pushed by Sikh Coalition, SALDEF, and Hindus for Human Rights, accusations that deliberately twisted our words, misrepresented our positions on transnational repression, and pretended satire is violence when it’s inconvenient. No tiptoeing. No appeasement. Just facts, context, and receipts. If you’re committed to truth over theatrics, this episode is required listening. Tune in now👉

This is Ambedkarite-Periyarist-Marxist activist Arun Siddharth and his gang being chased out of Jaffna by Tamils. He once stated he will demolish the Nallur Hindu temple to build a public toilet. His goal is to convert Tamils to Buddhism and assimilate them with Sinhalese. He’s a goon of the Sri Lankan military intelligence and is promoted by the Sinhalese Buddhist establishment in the name of anti-caste. This project of cultural genocide is disguised in progressive language to fool outsiders which is why Sinhalese Buddhists pose a uniquely insidious form of threat.

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

At last week’s HAF year‑end webinar, we laid bare the state of Hindu Americans today. Our wins, the rising visibility of our festivals and identity, and the threats we still face as a community. In this clip, our Managing Director Samir Kalra doesn’t hold back: he calls out the extremist lobby pushing for “Khalistan” in America, not the everyday Sikh community, but that small, loud fringe, and warns how dangerous this narrative has become. He exposes how bills like SB 509 in California could end up painting Hindu and Indian Americans as “foreign agents” or “proxies,” just for standing up. We’re done with the noise and the smear campaigns. We will not stand down to anyone telling us to go home, because we are home. 📌 Watch the full webinar on our YouTube channel and join the conversation.

What's happening in education today—and why isn't American history being taught the way it should be? Instead of learning about the individuals, events, and ideas that built this country, students are being fed a completely different narrative. I explain how founding principles, the Enlightenment, and core American values are being sidelined—or attacked—and what that means for assimilation, national identity, and the future of the country. If generations grow up without understanding what made America what it is, the consequences won’t just be cultural—they’ll be foundational. This is about history, truth, and the direction of the nation. Watch the entire episode: Rumble: YouTube:

In a temple in Gujarat, Dalit women were prevented from entering by women from the upper-caste community. This is happening in Gujarat, in Modi’s Gujarat, in Amit Shah's Gujarat. First of all, I want to ask the Dalit community: why do you want to go to these temples? Where you are beaten, where you’re treated as untouchable, where even your daughters face violence. Look at the priest who raped a young girl in Delhi and is now in prison. So, why do you want to go to these temples? Secondly, this is the beginning of the so-called Hindu Rashtra. This is the start of what they call a Hindu nation; they want to drive certain people out of the country, bring back the Varna system, and reimpose Manusmriti.
