Dozens of people gathered at the Laxmi Narayan Temple in Surrey, B.C., on Saturday afternoon to protest what they describe as the offensive use of a Hindu deity in a B.C. company's logo. The protesters accuse the company, Big D--k Energy Coaching, of using inappropriate language underneath a photo of Lord Ganesha — a deity with an elephant head, known as the Hindu god of wealth, sciences, knowledge, [...]

In a short clip from a recent debate, Madhu Kishwar points out while every mosque and madrassa create activists for Islam, the Hindu temples on the other hand regardless if they are in India or America, push the usual that just take darshan from the deities, say a few mantras and that's somehow Hinduism. [...]

Hinduphobia, of course, has not been clearly argued or presented, despite being a word with a far longer anti-colonial, anti-“White supremacy,” history than a word like Islamophobia, it remains stuck in fringe social media usage because of the sheer obliviousness of our Starbucks activist upper class Hindus. Hinduphobia is not seen as a human rights reality [...]

Thirty-one years ago, 1990 to be precise, half million Kashmiri Hindus were ethnically cleansed of Kashmiri Valley by marauding Islamic gangs. Brutal murders and rapes followed. Even a judge of the Srinagar High Court was shot in broad daylight. While the then Kashmir Chief Minister, Farooq Abdullah, completely abdicated his responsibility, perhaps one should say [...]

The meeting between India’s ‘Hindu nationalist’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi and (nobody said “Christian Expansionist”) Pope Francis reminds me of a phenomenon that media researchers have been talking about for over a century now – propaganda. Propaganda is everywhere, even [...]

Seven-year old Sulekha Das does not smile anymore. All she does is stare unfocused at the clumsily painted hospital walls, as callous government officials troop in inspecting her as if she were an artefact. Sulekha and her eight-year-old sister (who died later) were raped in Bhola, in Barisal district, Bangladesh on October 24, 2001. [...]

Hindu Human Rights staged a protest outside that mouthpiece of liberal opinion, the Guardian. Liked by all the progressive types and well-meaning but misguided utopianists who think they can remould the world, this hate propaganda machine spews some of the vilest Hinduphobia in existence. In the past, such newspapers would have used openly racist and [...]
