For years, Hindu nationalist groups in the United States have been the recipients of large sums of money from private donors and federal funds. This influx of money has allowed these groups to grow and expand their reach worldwide.
Hindu nationalists in the US have long sought to distance themselves from the Hinduism practiced by the majority of Hindus. Instead, they promote a version of Hinduism that is more closely aligned with the political ideology of Hindutva. This ideology, which is often referred to as “Hindu fascism,” is characterized by a deep suspicion and hostility towards Muslims and other minorities.
The rise of Hindu nationalism in the US has coincided with a sharp increase in hate crimes and bigotry against Hindus and other minority groups in America. In addition, the Hindutva movement has been linked to a number of cases of violence and terror in India. Given the destructive and harmful effects of the Hindutva movement, it is troubling to see that so much money is being funneled to these groups. It is time for donors to be held accountable and for the US government to investigate the sources of this funding.
The federal government and private donors are shelling out big money to Hindu nationalist groups in the U.S., and it’s having a profound effect on American Hindus.
Reports suggest donors have contributed millions of dollars to various Hindu nationalist groups in the United States. These funds have allowed these groups to expand their reach and to push their agenda of hate and bigotry against minorities. The propagation of hate and bigotry by Hindu nationalist groups has had a chilling effect on American Hindus, who now feel unsafe and unwelcome in their own country. Hindu-Americans have been the target of hate crimes and constant harassment. There are reports of attacks and vandalism of Hindu places of worship, as well as attempts to defame Hindu religion and culture. This atmosphere of hate and intolerance has created a climate of fear and mistrust among Hindu-Americans.
