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

However, using Indian politics as a smokescreen to further Hinduphobia is unacceptable.

@dghconference denies Hinduphobia, and quotes a known Hinduphobe to prove their point (🤦🏾♀️)

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.
