Reminder that Hinduphobia is a HOAX designed to shield criticism of India as a violent Hindu state that demonizes Muslims, Christians & Sikhs. All who cherish justice and dignity should stand in principled support of the Sikh Punjabi people’s aspiration for independence.

Samir Karla, Director of Policy for the Hindu American Foundation still has not apologized for suggesting that India should kill American activists for criticizing the Indian government. Calling for violence over political speech is dangerous and unacceptable.

Sikh Americans burned the Indian Flag in front of the San Francisco India Consulate in protest of India’s transnational assassination program. India has violently suppressed minority communities including Christians, Sikhs, Muslims & Dalits without international scrutiny.

The India-EU trade deal is extremely concerning given India’s documented democratic decline. Partnerships must uphold human rights, including protections for Sikh and other minorities, and must not legitimize the criminalization of Sikh Punjabi self-determination.

Hindu nationalist networks are aggressively exporting their agenda into the U.S., intimidating critics and laundering extremism through lobbying. American Sikhs 🇺🇸 know the cost of this ideology. America must draw a hard line.
