This week we feature: a call to action around an anti-Hindu conference, a highlight of an Afghan Hindu’s bravery, an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Moplah massacre, and a highlight on “The Hindu Aesthetic”
Action Highlight: Respond to University attacks on Hindus
On the heels of Afghanistan’s fall to the Taliban and on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the most dastardly Islamic terrorist attack in the United States, a number of Hinduphobic bigots (including Missionary daughter-in-law Audrey Truschke) are organizing a “Dismantling Hindutva” conference, which superficially is purely about politics but largely centers figures with a history of attacking the Hindu community. They claim 40+ university sponsors, but many universities, once made aware that they were listed as “sponsors” without consent have asked their names be pulled. Hindu community members have developed a helpful campaign where you can fill out a form that sends emails to the so-called “sponsors”, link here.
Additionally, Hinduoncampus has a great video outlining the sinister designs of the conference.
