ALERT: We launched an independent investigation into the Hinduphobia case at @TuftsUniversity. We examine the two sides and decided to fact check.

Context:

Please see our findings 👇🏾
We found an extensive amount of misinformation from @tuftssarc and related parties.
We ask that the groups issue an apology to the Hindu community, re-evaluate the resources they share for prejudice and educate themselves on Hinduism, Hindu persecution and Hinduphobia.

They must be held accountable for their harmful statements.
All our sources & findings of our investigation can be found here:

UPDATE: @TuftsDaily has deleted both the tweet and article. Thank you for stopping the spread of misinformation.

We look forward to hearing a public apology from the South Asian organizations involved.

ALERT: On April 10, @csustudents passed a resolution to add caste as a protected category.

Although as Hindus, it is our dharma to stand against caste discrimination, we must oppose groups that call for the total destruction of Hinduism to combat caste discrimination.
EL has:

> Allied with those who have said Hindus are the "sick people" of India

> Falsely tied Hindus to police brutality in U.S.

> Degraded Holi as "casteist" & linked sexual violence to Hindu festivals

> Encouraged students to compare Indian politics to the Holocaust

THREAD: Who are some of the groups supporting Audrey Truschke?

What are some past statements they've made about Hinduism?
1/ 'Hindus' for Human Rights

Founding board member statement:

“In my experience, everyone speaking up for human rights in India, even if their name sounds Hindu, is loath to identify as one...
... And anyone identifying publicly as a Hindu, almost without exception, supports the idea of Hindutva.”

BREAKING: @Rutgers_Newark has issued a follow up statement

"We are sorry for the hurt that members of the Hindu community have been experiencing in relation to recent events. Our commitment to inclusion includes religion, not just the right but the freedom to celebrate as an individual or community without fear."
"We know that the sacred traditions of Hinduism are central to the identities that define Hindu individuals, families, and communities. We abhor the vile messages and threats that are being directed at Hindu students, and call for an immediate end to them."

We are once again disturbed by the systematic and institutionalized racism that Rutgers’ South Asian History Department harbors. They have chosen to defend Professor Truschke by diluting her neocolonial work as simply “controversial.”

southasia.rutgers.edu/images/Truschk…
Truschke must stop tokenizing the minorities that have read her work as a means to excuse the trauma that she causes to the Hindu community.
Additionally, Truschke does use “radicalized attacks on religious communities'' by white-washing the genocides that Hindus have faced and by glorifying the tyrants that caused those genocides, which has resulted in trauma for the Hindu students who have had her as a professor.
