India’s stance on the Russo-Ukrainian war drew vile anti-Indian and Hinduphobic reactions from high-profile social media handles. You are not Polish,” said the abuser.Īnn Coulter, a conservative commentator, accused Indians of taking up affirmative action jobs from “Black people.” Amy Wax, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, called India a “shithole” country where “Brahmin women” are taught they are better than everybody. The abuser identified himself as an American in the video and called the Indian man a “parasite” and a “genocider.” “You have your own country,” one could hear the abuser saying in this viral video. In yet another incident, an Indian man was stalked and verbally abused across the Atlantic in Poland. One of the women in the group was identified as Rani Banerjee. The police charged the woman with bodily assault and injury and terrorist threats. “We don’t want you here,” the woman, a self-described Mexican-American, can be heard saying, “I hate you f***ing Indians,” she said, along with other racist abuse. A viral video on social media showed a woman shouting racist comments and physically assaulting a group of women. The report of the third incident came from the southern state of Texas. The police later arrested Tejinder Singh and charged him with multiple counts of crime. The man repeatedly called Iyer “dirty Hindu” and “ugly Hindu” who “bathes in cow urine” and “eats cow shit.” Cow, cow urine, and “cow shit” are some of the most common anti-Hindu slurs. There, Iyer was deluged in a barrage of anti-Hindu slurs by another man. Krishnan Iyer had gone to pick up his online food order from a Mexican fast-food restaurant. According to the Hindu American Foundation (HAF), a US-based Hindu advocacy group, the perpetrators were making “repeated calls for Khalistan.”Īnother incident captured on video occurred in Freemont, California. This was the second toppling of this statue in less than two weeks. The scene of the crime was Shri Tulsi Mandir, a Hindu temple. According to the police, six suspects, aged 25-30, smashed the statue with a sledgehammer at 1:30 am. The back of the figure was spray painted with the word “kutta,” Hindi for a dog. The statue was found face down on the ground with debris around it. A spate of anti-Indian and anti-Hindu hate speech and hate crimes in the US has sent shockwaves among the members of the Indian diaspora, especially among the minority Hindu community.įirst, miscreants vandalized a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in South Richmond Hills, New York. The concerted campaign of the leftwing media, academia, and activists has finally started showing signs of fruition. A carefully crafted elitist and toxic anti-India, Hinduphobic narrative gained momentum in the United States and much of the Western world after the election of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India in 2014.
