A THREAD on Thenmozhi & Equality Labs for @JeffHorwitz. Please get some “familiarity” with the hate that they promote against Hinduism & Hindu festivals & why Hindu employees of different backgrounds at @Google pushed back. 👇🏽1/n

@JeffHorwitz, do keep in mind that Hindus are a micro minority in the US, and only one in four Americans even knows a Hindu. By supporting her, you are advancing #Hinduphobia & anti-Hindu bigotry against our community. Shame! 2/n
March 2020 - Thenmozhi & Equality Labs openly disparaged the sacred & popular festival of Holi, falsely claiming that it is a violent festival where men throw rocks & semen at women walking on the street & that the festival celebrates the burning of a “low caste” woman. 3/n 
October 2019 - Thenmozhi & Equality Labs participated in a symposium on “Casteism and Racism” at @UMich, where a speaker (someone that EL recommends as a resource) argued for the destruction of Hinduism & that Hinduism is “spiritual fascism”. 4/n michigandaily.com/campus-life/sy…
Sharmin Hossain, a former political director of Equality Labs has argued that Hinduism must be "dismantled.” That Hindus have stolen their “Gods” from Dalits, Adivasis, and Muslims, along with the Buddha, the hand of Fatima and other Islamic relics. Source: @hinduoncampus 5/n
Deleting tweets and articles does not cover up the hate. We won't even go into the many Hinduphobic falsehoods that populate all their materials and create the exact fear that drove @Google employees to ask if their employer really subscribes to such bigotry? 6/n
As a Hindu advocacy org w/ Dalit & Bahujan leaders/members, we firmly stand against attempts to spread such hatred & #Hinduphobia. We support @Google employees as they face bullying & hectoring from biased activists & their privileged, powerful supporters. @sundarpichai 7/n
The question for @JeffHorwitz is - do you endorse #Hinduphobia and hate and support calls for dismantling a minority religious tradition? By aligning with Thenmozhi and Equality Labs, you are essentially doing that. 8/n
