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.

Examples →
@project_polis here desecrates Hindu religious symbols to draw parallels between Hindus and Nazis
@Students_A_H launched an attack on Hindu religious festivals on college campuses to further political objectives.

Our full investigation on the group can be found here:

@hitchtheory calls Hindu American students who respectfully disagreed with Truschke's Hinduphobic tweets were labelled "BJP dogs"

@dghconference denies Hinduphobia, and quotes a known Hinduphobe to prove their point (🤦🏾‍♀️)
How many of these examples were genuine criticisms of the Indian government and political parties? None.

THIS is Hinduphobia. Nothing else.
Of course, Hindu American Scholars nail it! 😉

How can you criticize? Simple!

1. Don't tie political disagreements to Hinduism
2. Stop calling students "Hindu supremacists" when we disagree
3. Stop denying Hinduphobia. Attempting to *bully* Hindu American students will not work. We are stronger than that.

THREAD: Last semester, @UniofOxford's @OxfordSAS's screened Maktoob Media's Documentary titled "Hindutva Pandemic"

What was said? Here's a snippet 📽️ (1/n)

@OxfordSAS Where is your concern for your Hindu students?!

The Leicester violence was perpetrated by Islamists against Hindus, and instead, this documentary twists the truth to portray Hindus as violent.

Oxford Student Union has a responsibility to its Hindu population. Education & Awareness about historical Hindu genocide is not "Islamophobic"

All of those who scream "freedom of speech" are quick to SILENCE Hindu voices on campus.

#Hinduphobia @OxfordStudents
On the contrary, what they are doing *is* both Islamophobic & Hinduphobic.
Extremely inappropriate @OxfordSAS

THREAD: Did you know that a student filed a complaint against Hindu professors at @dartmouth just bc they were Hindu?

Didn’t hear about it? Our team investigated the biggest Hinduphobic scandal in Dartmouth’s history.

1/ First and foremost, while we recognize that the details of the case are sensitive and centered around sexual harassment, this will not be the focus of the thread.

So, what happened?
2/ Maha Hasan Alshawi was a graduate student at Dartmouth College.

In February 2020, Alshawi met with Dartmouth’s Deputy Title IX Coordinator Gary Sund and Title IX Coordinator Kristi Clemens to report an alleged incident of sexual harassment.

We are so happy to have hit 10k followers on Instagram today!

If you don't follow us already, follow now at @/hinduoncampus! instagram.com/hinduoncampus/
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.
