@dghconference if you thought Hindu students would stay silent, you were wrong 😘

We've been around for ~6 months. When we began back in March, we never would have expected to grow so quickly or gain traction so soon. It goes to show why such initiatives are needed, especially for Hindu students in the diaspora.
We've witnessed large scale pushback to Hinduphobic campus narratives for the first time. We speak to hundreds of Hindu students who are emboldened to speak out, whom we are incredible proud of.

We will continue to inspire others to be outspoken and unapologetically Hindus.

The strategy deployed by many is just to say "We're not against Hindus, we're only against [insert politics]"

The reality is, Hindus accept a difference of opinion when it comes to politics. Hindu students do not get offended if individuals criticize Indian politics.
However, using Indian politics as a smokescreen to further Hinduphobia is unacceptable.

THREAD: As campuses reopen in the fall, we bring to your attention a student group operating on 🇺🇸 college campuses that have spread dangerous lies about Hinduism and engaged in targeted harassment of Hindu students.

Part 1, 2, and 3 are available to view on our IG📸👈🏾
Our investigation has found that Hindu religious festivals were politicized to further a Hinduphobic motive, incitement of violence against Hindus took place and the group supported known terrorists responsible for the murder of minorities.
Before we begin, we would like to make it very clear that we, as @hinduoncampus, do not condone any type of abuse, threats or harassment. This thread should not be an excuse to do any of this.

BREAKING: Edison, NJ’s 5th largest municipality (with significant Hindu population) recognizes Hinduphobia & July as Hindu Persecution Awareness Month!

Thank you to the brave Hindu students who worked for this big win!
In a watershed moment, Edison, New Jersey, which is the state's fifth-largest municipality and has a large Hindu-American population, recognized July as Hindu Persecution Awareness Month.
The proclamation issued by the Township's mayor nods to the past and present discrimination that Hindus have faced in South Asia, as well as the richness and significance of Hindu heritage.

THREAD on how journalists deliberately leave out Hindu student voices when it doesn’t fit their narrative:
1/ Two weeks ago, we received the following email from @arunNYC. After reading the email, we spoke to the students who had taken Audrey Truschke’s class and were involved in the complaint against her. They declined to take the interview, for valid reasons …
2/ For those who do not know, Truschke has a long history of stalking Hindu students’ parents and subtweeting Hindu students, particularly when students speak out. In fact, she is proud of this behavior.
