"There is a distinction between wonder or healthy skepticism and cynical, annihilistic doubt when it comes to inquiry and Hinduism." Thoughtful reflection by Dr. @indumathi37, Director of Education at @StudyAtHUA & co-founder @HinduphobiaConf americankahani.com/perspectives/a…

We understand the outrage but please spend some time supporting your own people too, especially those who are doing the hard work via scholarship. It takes 2 mins to be a keyboard warrior but real work takes effort & dedication for years. Good work deserves praise!
A lot of you are angry about the Hindutva Harassment Field Manual. Yes, we are too. BUT how many of you are actively supporting Dr. @indumathi37 for her fantastic manual on Navigating Hinduphobia? manual.understandinghinduphobia.org To say it's an outstanding resource is an understatement
#JustReleased New @ncri_io study shows "Cyber Swarming" activity mobilized protesters in real time against a "Hindutva" narrative leading to the #Leicester troubles. Social media was used to instigate the attack on a Hindu temple using slurs like "cow-piss drinker," study shows.

In particular, false rumors about violence committed by the British Hindu community sparked off several incidents. First, a false account of the kidnapping of a young Muslim woman led to the mobilization of a march from Birmingham to Leicester to seek "revenge"
This is something we often "hear about," and even theorize, but seeing it in depth and its effects on real people, was eye-opening. Our work on Leicester is a great example of the ways in which misinformation on social media can galvanize on-the-ground hatred
Since the violence in Leicester broke out, our team @ncri_io investigated. From malicious narratives, to bot activity, cyberswarming, ethnic hatred - how did online activities spill over into real world violence, vandalism, mob mobilization, & intimidation? A thread:

This report confirms our concerns in rising Hinduphobia since the Leicester anti-Hindu attacks, whether it’s in our classrooms or online. Universities and academic institutions must pay close attention to these growing trends.

I am proud to be a co-author on this report by @ncri_io on the recent violence in Leicester, UK along with lead author @prasiddhaa_, @AlexWGoldenberg, and many other talented researchers.

Another false narrative suggested that a Hindu mandir in Leicester had organized bussing of devotees to attack a mosque. This misinformation was penetrative and was carried by mainstream global news outlets and led to the organization of a "demonstration" outside the temple
Our report uncovered an uptick in the use of both Islamophobic and Hinduphobic tropes, memes online. While a large set of the users spreading anti-Hindu disinformation were from the UK, a highly concentrated echo chamber based in India amplified Islamophobic content.
Bloomberg goes out of their way to misrepresent @ncri_io’s report, distorting data for narrative. Instead of reporting a story on disinformation, Bloomberg BECOMES a story in anti-Hindu disinformation, covering up for their media peers. #Hinduphobia is systemic.
This report by @ncri_io unpacks the ways in which anti-Hindu misinformation spread in Leicester. Leicester was used as part of a growing narrative that “Hindutva” is on the rise in the diaspora, being blamed for the violence it was experiencing. @prasiddhaa_ @parthparihar

The latest @ncri_io report cites our @HinduphobiaConf definition in this latest paper on #Leicester violence. “Other narratives depicted Leicester Hindus as heretically evil and filthy, playing on age-old Hinduphobic tropes.”

@shailajaUw @indumathi37 The "no one is afraid of Hindus" argument has been addressed several times by @HinduphobiaConf Hinduism is represented as something to be feared by white culture and hence erased. It's an irrational fear of pollution.

Exactly! Bharat is the womb of Hinduism; Hinduism is indigenous to the land. The discussion about Hindu indigeneity cannot be reduced to blood quantum or genetics. manual.understandinghinduphobia.org/sanatana-dharm…
Anyone who says Hinduism isn't indigenous to India is denying the significance of India (religiously, spirituality and historically) to Hindus. Hindus are an indigenous people. Stop denying it.
We understand the outrage but please spend some time supporting your own people too, especially those who are doing the hard work via scholarship. It takes 2 mins to be a keyboard warrior but real work takes effort & dedication for years. Good work deserves praise!

Appropriatng Hindu temple art as “Islamic” is what is going on at the Islamic Dept of the Met, the Metropolitan museum in NY.The head of “Islamic art” - a well spoken Indian art historian Navina Haidar is releasing a book on the “Jaali” a millennia old part of Hindu
#JustReleased New @ncri_io study shows "Cyber Swarming" activity mobilized protesters in real time against a "Hindutva" narrative leading to the #Leicester troubles. Social media was used to instigate the attack on a Hindu temple using slurs like "cow-piss drinker," study shows.
Malicious Narratives around “Hindutva Dominance” Underscored Cyber Swarming activity - recruit followers from the virtual world to mobilize into real world protests and violence in Leicester.
In particular, false rumors about violence committed by the British Hindu community sparked off several incidents. First, a false account of the kidnapping of a young Muslim woman led to the mobilization of a march from Birmingham to Leicester to seek "revenge"
This is something we often "hear about," and even theorize, but seeing it in depth and its effects on real people, was eye-opening. Our work on Leicester is a great example of the ways in which misinformation on social media can galvanize on-the-ground hatred

Thank you @RepHankJohnson for standing with the Hindu community! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you to @CoHNAOfficial for having me at the National Hindu Advocacy Day on the Hill. I applaud your efforts to combat discrimination against the Hindu-American population. We must stand together against hate & violence, regardless of our religion, race or ethnic background.
@shailajaUw @indumathi37 The "no one is afraid of Hindus" argument has been addressed several times by @HinduphobiaConf Hinduism is represented as something to be feared by white culture and hence erased. It's an irrational fear of pollution.
@shailajaUw @indumathi37 @HinduphobiaConf The "no one is afraid of Hindus" crowd is not really engaging with this argument. Just repeating it over and over. That is not Hindu way of making arguments. That's trolling. And frankly a waste of precious energy. We have a tradition of purva paksha and uttara paksha.
ALERT: American University's Hindu Student Association received hateful comments for a collab post with HOC. In response, the HSA deleted their post and used Hinduphobic allegations against HOC - including false allegations of supporting caste-discrimination, Islamophobia.
