Several HSC leaders participated in @TimesNow's primetime panel with @PadmajaJoshi on the inherently Hinduphobic assertions of & potential harm to Hindu American students from the #dghconference. The full video will be available tomorrow, but here are some highlights. 👇
@TimesNow @PadmajaJoshi Here, HSC President @thekejemon, explains why Hindu students are concerned about #dghconference: because of the rise in on-campus Hinduphobia in recent years.
HSC Trustee @parthparihar explains that #dghconference claims "Hinduphobia does not exist," which does not comport with Hindu student experiences.
HSC Rutgers President Prasiddha Sudhakar speaks about silencing of Hindu persecution:


What must the Pakistani Hindu refugees that @PadmajaJoshi interviewed () think about #dghconference denying anti-Hindu animus at the heart of their persecution?
"Stereotyping of Hindus and not considering our lived experiences" a dangerous trend, says EB member @naisar_g

We need more Hindu Americans in social sciences and humanities, or we will be excluded from the public conversation about our own community: @parthparihar

.@naisar_g speaks on why cultural appropriation of yoga is a form of Hinduphobia. It erases yoga's rootedness in Hindu philosophy in order to make it palatable. Hindu dharma identified negative baggage by YogaLand?

HSC Rutgers President Prasiddha Sudhakar speaks about the success of @HinduphobiaConf. @rusa_nb passed #Hinduphobia resolution.

Shubh Hanuman Jayanti!
What is Hanuman Jayanti?

Hanuman Jayanti celebrates the birth of a deva- Hanuman. Hindus may celebrate by visiting temple, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, and distributing sweets.
Why is Hanuman Ji so Important?

As per an excerpt from the Hanuman Chalisa, Sita Ma blessed Hanuman Ji with the divine powers that were then used to rescue her.

"Mother Sita, daughter of Janaka, grants you this boon: you are the holder of the 8 Siddhis and the 9 Nidhis."

@algalitsky shares on behalf of the Armenian community:

"We all have our unique stories as to how we came here. We all have the trauma. We express our solidarity."
"In 2015 on the 100 year anniversary of the Armenian genocide, we held a large protest in front of the Turkish embassy. This might be the US recognition."
"Denial of a trauma is to reinforce that Trauma. When you are told it didn't happen and these people miraculously vanished, how are we to move on and mourn. We owe it to our fore-bearers."

@RaniRosser from the University of Texas talks about the negative portrayals in elementary and middle school in the education system.
She shares her experience: "When I first started graduate school I wanted to research the high school curriculum that perpetuated bias and stereotypes."

Amongst the responses received were "This is how it was always taught."
"In order to eliminate the bias I had to find another route, I found the California texbook re-evaluation issue."
