This is for our non-Hindu following: How can you be an ally to the Hindu community?

Our thoughts:
Stand up for Hindus ✊🏾
Just to clarify the misconceptions slide:

> It is not β€œidols,” it should be referred to as murtis. Most of the time when people refer to Hindus as idol worshippers, it is to mock/demean Hindus

> The same goes for (2) - Cows are absolutely sacred but it’s the way Hinduphobes..
.. weaponize cows to mock Hinduism, without understanding the significance.

We hope that clears it up πŸ™πŸΎ

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 πŸ‘‡πŸΎ
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.

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

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:

β€œIn 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.”
