Let us explore some of Hinduism’s enduring contributions that continue to enrich humanity.

Extinction is a word normally associated with dinosaurs — but it’s no exaggeration to say some minority religions (including my own) will now face that fate at the hands of Isis, Al-Qaeda, and a resurgent Taleban.
“The recent “Proclamation on Religious Freedom, 2024” by President Biden lacks any mention of Hindus. This is a shocking omission of a minority faith that is facing increasing attacks in the US. … The Hindu American community is in shock and trauma at the open and repeated violation of their sacred places of worship. CoHNA is disappointed at this how hate against Hinduism raises little to no concern among our lawmakers.
Hindu Genocide
The global media plays a prominent role in the spread of Hinduphobia and Bharatphobia. It’s still stuck in a colonial mindset where much of the news regarding Bharat and Hindus is created through a prejudiced lens.
Our research finds that Britain’s exploitative policies were associated with approximately 100 million excess deaths during the 1881-1920 period. This is a straightforward case for reparations, with strong precedent in international law. Following World War II, Germany signed reparations agreements to compensate the victims of the Holocaust and more recently agreed to pay reparations to Namibia for colonial crimes perpetrated there in the early 1900s. In the wake of apartheid, South Africa paid reparations to people who had been terrorised by the white-minority government.
“Hinduphobia, as described by the Understanding Hinduphobia Initiative, is “a set of antagonistic, destructive, and derogatory attitudes and behaviours towards Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) and Hindus that may manifest as prejudice, fear, or hatred.”
