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.

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.

#Hinduphobia #AcademicTwitter

dartmouth.edu/provost/pdfs/1… 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?

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.

THREAD: As campuses reopen in the fall, we bring to your attention a student group operating on 🇺🇸 college campuses that have spread dangerous lies about Hinduism and engaged in targeted harassment of Hindu students.

Part 1, 2, and 3 are available to view on our IG📸👈🏾 Our investigation has found that Hindu religious festivals were politicized to further a Hinduphobic motive, incitement of violence against Hindus took place and the group supported known terrorists responsible for the murder of minorities.

THREAD on how journalists deliberately leave out Hindu student voices when it doesn’t fit their narrative: 1/ Two weeks ago, we received the following email from @arunNYC. After reading the email, we spoke to the students who had taken Audrey Truschke’s class and were involved in the complaint against her. They declined to take the interview, for valid reasons …

ALERT: On April 10, @csustudents passed a resolution to add caste as a protected category.

Although as Hindus, it is our dharma to stand against caste discrimination, we must oppose groups that call for the total destruction of Hinduism to combat caste discrimination. EL has:

> Allied with those who have said Hindus are the "sick people" of India

> Falsely tied Hindus to police brutality in U.S.

> Degraded Holi as "casteist" & linked sexual violence to Hindu festivals

> Encouraged students to compare Indian politics to the Holocaust

BREAKING: @Rutgers_Newark has issued a follow up statement

"We are sorry for the hurt that members of the Hindu community have been experiencing in relation to recent events. Our commitment to inclusion includes religion, not just the right but the freedom to celebrate as an individual or community without fear."

We are once again disturbed by the systematic and institutionalized racism that Rutgers’ South Asian History Department harbors. They have chosen to defend Professor Truschke by diluting her neocolonial work as simply “controversial.”

southasia.rutgers.edu/images/Truschk… Truschke must stop tokenizing the minorities that have read her work as a means to excuse the trauma that she causes to the Hindu community.
