We reiterate our demands for an apology, for Mr. Adams to publicy condemn Ms. Hindustani's rhetoric, and for his office to commit to a training on Hindu supremacy and its diasporic manifestations. At present, our coalition's press conference will proceed as planned at noon on Tuesday, July 15. (4/4)

Savera: United Against Supremacy @wearesavera.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Mr. Adams has neither indicated any accountability to our communities nor committed to ensuring that such a lapse in judgement is not repeated (especially considering this is the second time he has flirted with Hindutva bigotry, only to later withdraw). (3/4)

Savera: United Against Supremacy @wearesavera.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

However, we are disappointed by Mr. Adams' office's attempts to obfuscate the fact that he accepted this invite without any due diligence (which was confirmed by none other than the event organizers). (2/4)

Eric Adams Withdraws From Event Honoring Anti-Muslim Activist

He was slated to be the guest of honor at an event featuring a Hindu nationalist activist who has called for violence and boycotts against Muslims.

Savera: United Against Supremacy @wearesavera.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

The letter demanded that Mayor Adams 1. Immediately withdraw from the event featuring Kajal Hindustani on July 16th. 2. Condemn her bigotry and assert that it has no place in New York City. 3. Apologize for his insensitivity, and commit his office to a training on Hindu supremacy.

"By extending your support to an event featuring Kajal Hindustani, a supremacist demagogue who has called for the genocide of Muslims and Christians in India, you have yet again failed to do the due diligence that your mayoral office requires,” the letter begins.

There is currently a lot of debate about whether Vance Boelter was an outlier for Christian extremism, and whether anti-abortion extremism is an outlier for Christianity. The reality is, the anti-abortion movement is inextricably linked to Replacement Theory and anyone who believes in it.

Anti-abortion ideologies: The common ground of extremism, based on replacement theory.
A venn diagram shows the overlap of Christian Nationalism (Quiverfull), White Nationalism (14 words), and Techno Fascism (Pro-Natalism). Where CN and WN overlap - Christian Militias. Where WN and TF overlap: Non-Religious Militias. Where TF and CN overlap: 7 Mountains, Network State. In the center where all three overlap: Accelerationism.

"Like his brother, Gopal Godse was a lifelong member of the RSS who was convicted on the charges of conspiracy for Gandhi's murder. When the play first appeared in India, it was deeply controversial for justifying Godse's violence and glorifying Hindutva."

Full solidarity with Savera coalition member @sikhcoalition.bsky.social. The Sangh's hypocrisy is striking: they insist (accurately) that Hindu Americans come from diverse backgrounds beyond India, but demand that other categories (Bengali, Sikh, Punjabi American) be subsumed into "one identity."

Two weeks ago, Hindutva and right-wing Zionist groups joined forces to oppose ethnic studies in Fremont, falsely claiming that the existing program is ‘anti-Hindu’ and ‘antisemitic.’ These attacks are part of a larger reactionary campaign against examples of so-called ‘wokeness’ in schools.
