Hindu Supremacist Attacks on Religious Freedom
ACTION ALERT
WASHINGTON, D.C., (September 4, 2021) – Hindu supremacist forces are bent on silencing anyone who wants to speak truth to bigotry and raises concern for religious freedom and human rights violations in India. These groups, both in India and abroad, are not only advancing a warped narrative that demonizes minorities and enables brutal violence against them, they are also launching vicious attacks on those who speak up against the advancement of fascism in India.
But no matter what, they can’t silence the academics who continue to speak truth to bigotry. The best way to fight back is to stay informed and to proactively create awareness. Please register for the online congressional briefing and share it widely, especially with those in academia.
