Progressive Hindu Americans are building a movement. For too long, far-right groups have monopolized the Hindu American political identity in US politics. But that changes now.

Props to the brave students in India who forced the resignation of the Modi government’s education minister. These brave students staged a peaceful sit-in protest that lasted a month, went on hunger strike, and endured violence from the Delhi police. (1/2)

Over the weekend, HfHR Action volunteers in New York met with David Orkin at a meet and greet organized by DRUM Beats NYC. Our members asked about how Orkin, who is running for #NewYorkAssembly District 38, will work with progressive Hindus to fight Hindu nationalism and all forms of bigotry.

Savera: United Against Supremacy @wearesavera.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
The Savera Coalition is united in its condemnation of the act of vandalism at a Hindu temple in Chino Hills. Political differences must never be litigated on, or in, houses of worship, and their politicization erodes the rights of our communities to freely gather and worship at these spaces.(1/4)

@sunitav.bsky.social from @hfhr.bsky.social follows up with her powerful comments about the global shift to the #farright and the importance of #FaithBased leaders and movements in addressing hatred, genocide, and religious nationalism - much of which is fuelled by religious supremacism.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Doing the advocacy rounds on the Hill. My message? Hindu supremacists are aligning with other far right actors to erode democracy and civil rights HERE in America. We, @hfhr.bsky.social, offer an alternative, inclusive, sane, anti-caste Hindu voice.
