On the positive side, these pro-Palestinian protests are bringing into the public eye the academic, media, and political networks that for decades have helped to promote jihadist propaganda and agendas but were always ignored. However, this new axis of hate cannot be ignored anymore as it is too obvious. Of course, one cannot generalize all [...]

Catherina Bray writes on 23 March 2024 in the Guardian, reviewing the biopic movie Swatantara Veer Savarkar, about the Indian freedom fighter and Hindu revolutionary. As the person who coined the term Hindutva, this was hardly going to get a positive response from the Guardian. This newspaper, the bastion of the left-wing white elite and [...]

On both left and right, India and Hindus are castigated for the unequal caste system. The only difference is that sometimes the ‘right’ actually supports it as a means to both racial and class inequality. Here we encounter the first problem. Caste was never based on race. [...]

Amazon series Man in the High Castle is based upon a book by the same name. Deviating quite substantially from the original book by Phillip K Dick written in 1962, it nevertheless keeps the basics of the plot. This is a world in which the Axis powers have won the war, with Germany having developed [...]

These attacks on minorities were not just speeches and propaganda. They took physical form, as does the Hinduphobia pushed [...]

Dear Sir Starmer, Hindu Human Rights Group (HHR) was set up to highlight persecution, oppression, and discrimination against Hindus worldwide. HHR was formed in the UK, and it is sadly in this country that we find Hinduphobia now going mainstream. It is commendable indeed that you have condemned the antisemitism which has saturated the Labour [...]

In the AQA approved Religious Studies text for GCSE (written by Lesley Parry, Jan Hayes, Sheila Butler, published by Hodder Education), we find this rather disturbing view of Hinduism: [...]

With the growing calls for equality and tackling racism spearheaded by the Black Lives Matter Movement, the Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi soon became the target. His statue stands in Parliament Square in London, near that to Winston Churchill. The latter has also become the target of protests. Churchill’s racist views are well-known, especially towards people [...]

Hence this state was built up with American financial and military aid. Relations with the war hawks only soured when it became too obvious that Pakistan was sabotaging attempts at stopping Islamic terrorism.
