Several American Universities (40+ according to the event propaganda) will be supporting a three-day event in September titled, ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva’. The event appears to be organised by anti-India and anti-Hindu forces in American Universities. These include professors and lecturers from university departments that have long championed Pakistan, Islamic extremists, elements of the Church fraternity and those who have been systematically attacking India for several decades. Since 2014 when PM Modi came into power, their attacks have become very open, very prominent and supported it seems by the hierarchy of these universities.
The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) took on the task of challenging these anti-Hindu intellectual bigots, and the universities that were supportive of them. The campaign quickly attracted a global perspective – after all, the organisers did name it ‘global’ and global outrage they got.
There are supporters of this type of anti-Hindu hatred like Prof. Srila Roy from
Wits University who on twitter said, ‘Hindutva, a deeply entrenched right-wing nationalist movement in India with major traction in the diaspora. NB: there is no such thing as Hinduphobia; there is Hindu supremacy’. Then there was Pieter Friedrich, journalist who has been challenged for his anti-India views and it seems this bothered him so much that now he is promoting this event also. Speakers at the event include Anand Patwardhan, Ayesha Kidwai, Banu Subramaniam, Bhanwar Meghwanshi, Christophe Jaffrelot, Kavita Krishnan, Meena Kandasamy, Mohammad Junaid, Nandini Sunder, Neha Dixit and P. Sivakami. The cowards are so scared that they have not invited even one pro-Hindu speaker to challenge their anti-Hindu narrative.
Suhag Shukla, Executive Director and co-founder of HAF, and her team have been working round the clock to challenge this coordinated attack on Hindus in America. When universities have been challenged, a startling discovery has been made. Some universities whose name has been used by these ant-Hindu event organisers had never given permission. It seems the organisers are liars who will use every dirty trick in the book to make themselves look legitimate.
The event propaganda states the co-sponsors to be departments at: North Western, UC Berkeley, U Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, UPenn, Princeton and Stanford.
We now have a situation where Hindus from India are lining up to spend huge amounts of money to go to these American Universities. In return, they are abused by the very same universities. This is akin to these universities exhibiting antisemitic behaviour openly – do you think the Jewish community, Jewish businesses, Jewish politicians, or Israel would allow for such open bigotry to stand?
It’s time Hindu sponsors of American universities who give millions of dollars every year, to reconsider their choices. It’s time India utilises its unique position globally to send a clear message to America that inciting such Hindu hatred will not be tolerated. It’s time to take these universities to the courts for inciting hatred and racism towards Hindus.
Bankrupt these universities. In America the only thing that works is money. Hit them hard where it hurts and let them know the cost of their racism. It's time to teach these bigots a lesson. This Anti-Hindu terrorism industry in our higher educational establishments must be challenged and exposed. Today we see this in America, tomorrow they will attempt the very same in UK universities.
The likes of Prof Audrey Truschke from Rutgers University have dedicated their lives to undermining Hindus. She would never attempt to take on the Islamists. Let us remember, these people would run a mile before they dared do an event titled: ‘Dismantling Wahabbism" or "Dismantling the CCP”.
It's time to dismantle these preachers of hate.
