Los Angeles, CA, USA - The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) has condemned a coordinated campaign of misinformation and hate targeting Hindu American communities, citing extremist groups and academic institutions.

 

Key Facts:

  • CoHNA alleges a concerted effort to undermine Hindu American organizations, involving groups like Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and academic institutions.

 

  •  The campaign includes baseless allegations of disloyalty and hate crimes, such as vandalism at Hindu temples and attacks on Gandhi statues.

 

  • CoHNA calls for challenging the "dual loyalty" narrative and protecting the rights of Hindu Americans.

 

The controversy surrounding the NYC India Day Parade float, labeled an "anti-Muslim" symbol, is cited as an example of the misinformation campaign. CoHNA president Nikunj Trivedi emphasizes the need to challenge this narrative and protect Hindu American rights.

 

The involvement of Khalistani extremists in hate crimes and the amplification of Hinduphobia by academic and media platforms are also highlighted.

 

 


The condemnation by CoHNA highlights the growing trend of Hinduphobia and misinformation targeting Hindu American communities.

 

It is essential to challenge the "dual loyalty" narrative and protect the rights of Hindu Americans, ensuring their safety and inclusion in the broader American society.
