No, Prof Truschke, it is you & other Hinduphobes who spread hate & disinfo about Hinduism & Hindus while actively gaslighting the community. Your constant #Hinduphobia has been called out on several occasions. Some examples here (since you blocked us for no reason). 1/n
This infographic provides a snapshot of some of your most bigoted and racist views about Hinduism and Hindus. 2/n cohna.org
The “Dismantling Global Hindutva” conference, which you supported along with the SASAC, singled out five Hindu last names (including that of Rep Mukherji) and deemed them as purveyors of violence. DGH also asserted that Hinduism must be dismantled. How is that “scholarship”? 3/n
In July 2021, 75 American Hindu temples and spiritual organizations wrote a letter to @RutgersU expressing their concerns about the bigotry that you call “scholarship”. These are some of the largest and most well respected Hindu institutions. 4/n cohna.org
Students also wrote an open letter to @RutgersU documenting your anti-Hindu views and false scholarship, and asking the university to protect its students from the harassment and bullying caused by such misrepresentation. Source: @hinduoncampus. 5/n docs.google.com
Over 150 American and Canadian organizations sent a joint letter to the universities that were sponsoring the DGH conference, urging them to disavow this “thinly veiled attack on Hinduism..” 6/n cohna.org
Others have also called out DGH’s #Hinduphobia and highlighted the efforts of the community to challenge such “academic” drivel and the active erasure of Hindu genocide and trauma. 7/n americankahani.com
Our rebuttal to your “Hindutva Harassment Manual” lays out how this manual actually institutionalizes hate, gags Hindu voices and recommends blatantly anti-Hindu personalities and organizations as “resources.” 8/n cohna.org
The Teaneck resolution wreaks of disinformation and false allegations while attacking Hindus for protesting against those who advocate for a dismantling of their religion. 9/n google.com
This resolution has also received bipartisan condemnation from @NJDSC, @joepennacchio, @CoryBooker, @RepSherrill, @RepJoshG, @vingopal, @jimdpt and others. 10/n
So, @RajMukherji is not misinformed but has issued this statement in the spirit of promoting mutual respect and religious freedom and to condemn the wholesale targeting of the Hindu community. Such hate has no place in NJ. We stand in solidarity with him. 11/n
