#Breaking: #ChicagoIndiaResolution slamming India, introduced by @chialderwoman fails. Chicago’s Indian/Hindu community was galvanized against the biased resolution and good sense prevailed. (1/3)
Just before the resolution failed, Alderwoman Hadden recommended a piece in the @chicagotribune by @nausheenhussain to influence vote. Note the obvious bias/Hinduphobia under “” & denial of the murder of 52 Hindu pilgrims. This is the erasure Chicago Hindus faced. (2/3)
This is the erasure that my family faced when she mentions Kashmir, but without recording the ethnic cleansing of my family by Islamist terrorists. Dear @chialderwoman, my family has lived in Chicago since 1971, when we were forced out of Kashmir. Our story matters. (3/3)
I added the wrong tag for the @chicagotribune reporter who thinks it's okay to put Hinduphobia in quotes, or what is known as plausible deniability. The correct tag is, @nausheenhusain

Here are 5 quotes that will re-shape your understanding of caste. Courtesy of @desiprism. For now, follow on Insta, instagram.com/desiprism/
"Caste is a modern phenomenon, that it is, specifically, the product of a historical encounter between India and Western colonial rule." – Nicholas Dirks
"Caste used to be thought of as an ancient fact of Hindu life, but contemporary scholars argue that the caste system was constructed by the British." – Frank de Zwart

Correct. The state of California @CalDFEH filed a lawsuit against @Cisco in federal court, then dropped it and re-filed in state court. I've read the complaint, & it's full of anti-Hindu racist bias. The state's lawsuit is so absurd that it even tries to define Hinduism: 1/n
"As a strict Hindu social and religious hierarchy, India’s caste system defines a person’s status based on their religion, ancestry, national origin/ethnicity, and race/color—or the caste into Which they are born—and will remain until death." 2/n
"44. Despite Doe’s repeated attempts to bring the caste-based and related discrimination, harassment, and retaliation to Defendant Cisco’s attention in 2016 and 2017, Cisco failed to recognize casteism as a form of unlawful religion..." 3/n

There are a number of Hindus who seem to be confused about the US elections, and the impact they will have on India and Hindu Americans.

First – @JoeBiden won. The only thing pending are the usual Electoral College formalities. Talk of voter fraud and illegal ballots 1/n
won't change the overall status. Even former Republican president #43, George Bush, has congratulated Biden-Harris.

Trump is only the 10th president in US history not to be re-elected, for two reasons: his handling of covid (primary), and his personality (secondary). It is 2/n
clear he would've won had it not been for covid, even with his personality, b/c his administration achieved a lot more than the media is giving him credit for: economy, overhauling taxes, deregulation, criminal justice reform, fighting terrorism, historic peace deals, etc. 3/n

UPDATE: my Twitter account was locked for 5 days after exposing a group attacking Hindu American candidates. Why? Because I posted the group's public registration form that contained their address. Apparently this incompetent group filed its papers using a private address. 1/n
Twitter rightfully does not allow posting of private information. But is it my responsibility to know that CAPI, a sham organization created just to attack Hindu candidates, registered itself using a private home address??

So after consulting an attorney, I filed an appeal. 2/n
I informed @TwitterSupport that their own rules expressly permit posting the location of a business when this information is publicly available. 3/n

Islamists are now taking their anti-Hindu attacks straight into US schools, through speech & debate competitions. Here is an upcoming debate topic for the Texas Forensic Association: "A Resolution to Curb Hindu Nationalism." It's full of lies, Hinduphobia, and hate. (1/3)
Texas Forensic Association is a high school competitive debate & speech club, that “prides itself on diversity, inclusiveness, love, and change”. So why are they propelling Hinduophobic lies? TFA needs to answer. (2/3)

txfa.org
It appears that @CAIRNational is behind this. Their goal is to absolve Islamism around the world by inducing American angst against India.

TFA committee members, Gina Lozano from @haysrebs & Nathaniel Council from @PampaHighSchool, owe the Hindu community some answers. (3/3)

Damn right she wants to normalize the swastika, @StopAntisemites. So do over a billion Hindus! Let me take one of @HinduAmerican's articles and explain why. (1/11)
In Sanskrit, the word swastika is a combination of ‘su’ (meaning ‘good’) and ‘asti’ (meaning ‘to exist’). (2/11)
Many Hindus adorn the threshold of the front entrance to their homes with the swastika. (3/11)
