Hello @HannahEP @guardian

You cover us and label us without even reaching out for comment. Doesn't look like you visited our website either.

What a stunning lack of journalism ethics

See our positions hinduamerican.org/issues/
Rightwing? No. Leftwing? No.

We're @HinduAmerican

We support freedom of expression and freedom of thought and belief. We also believe in the goodness of humanity to knowingly demonstrate kindness & compassion (ahimsa), while also being truthful (satya), thoughtful (viveka) & objective (vairagya).

We support policies which promote the ethical treatment of animals, ecological conservation, and stopping climate change.

We hold that religion and state are healthiest at a distance from one another, yet also acknowledge the positive and important role each can play in society and in the daily lives of people.

We have a long track record of church|state advocacy with leading civil rights orgs.

We hold that fundamental Hindu teachings allow Hindus to more openly embrace LGBT rights and marriage equality, and that the government should not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or identity.

We believe religious freedom must also encompass the right to retain one's religion. Pluralistic freedom of thought and worship must be the foundation of any modern society and nation.

Hinduism teaches that the Divine is equally present in all. Because all beings are connected through this shared divine presence, we vehemently oppose all forms of prejudice & discrimination and promote equal rights for all.

And for all of these reasons, we must raise our voices when activist-scholars and activist-journalists abuse their place of privilege and power to misrepresent our way of life and us as a people.
