Over 1,000 graves of indigenous children killed in church run schools were just found in Canada. Not a good time for false equivalencies, and definitely not a good time to imply a denial of Hindu and Indian indigeneity as if it is in contradistinction to Adivasis.

@IamNakulMaurya @AdityaRajKaul @nytimes If you want to discuss atrocities on Indigenous peoples, one need look no farther than India’s Adivasi peoples.

If this is accurate, two Indian origin journalists, @mukta_jo and @mbahree, working for a Qatari government funded news outlet, @AlJazeera, which has been ordered to register as a foreign agent by @TheJusticeDept, published a piece attacking a Hindu American group. Why? For

Remember when I called out @nytimes for relying on Majid Freeman to wrongly blame Hindus chanting “Jai Shri Ram” for Leicester, UK violence?. Well, Freeman was just jailed by a court for spreading a false rumor that Hindus “kidnapped” a Muslim girl, leading to communal riots for

Hello @Newsweek, not sure if this headline is just clickbait, but #Hanuman is “half” nothing and “all” of everything. We know #Hanuman to transcend categories and also underscore the unity Hindus see in nature & all living beings. Hanuman is wherever there is #bhakti (devotion)

Who would fall for this trap?. @Haqiqatjou writes insanely craven & insulting nonsense about our Gods and Goddesses and then says debate me. But if you say anything similar about his prophet or religion, aka “blasphemy,” he’s on record saying “capital punishment” is the penalty.

Lol so Sagasofbharat is too scared to debate me, as predicted. She wrote an entire essay trying to justify why she can't accept my debate challenge 🤣. A bunch of Hindus from @Heated_Debates keep spamming in my replies. I'm happy to debate you in a live moderated debate on.

She is to keynote a conference South Asian studies depts from major universities are organizing. This fatuous equivocation on the day of the Taliban takeover is the level of discourse. Still wondering why academic South Asian studies is losing credibility and relevance?

If by “research” she means making sh*% up and publishing it— what the law defines as defamation and libel — yes, it’s been a year since we sued for that. Thanks to all who have stood by us. Satyameva jayate.

Western academia has taken advantage of language barriers and lack of access and resources to silence the formerly colonized. They’ve portrayed us through racist, Eurocentric frames for far too long. Their monopoly of defining who we are and what we believe is over.

Hiya @UofT . I'm a lawyer, so I know about debate. I also know about academic freedom. A debate requires more than one side. Academic freedom requires open inquiry, a diversity of viewpoints, and an ability to constructively engage difference. This event ain't either.

“India’s Gang Rape CULTURE!”. Got your attention, right?. While India has one of the lowest per capita rape rates in the world, it has plenty of writers happy to sh-t on its people & culture for clickbait. Rape is horrific, but shouldn’t be trivialized to push political agendas.

If I'm going to be trolled by a New Yorker staff writer, is it too much to ask that he not retreat to overused Irish alliteration? . "Sinister sectarian"? Really, Isaac. But at least he didn't assign me a caste as the New Yorker does to all Hindus of late. Small mercies.

The same @HudsonInstitute’s Paul Marshall who started with “Hinduism and Terror” is now onto “The Hindutva Threat Outside India.” . No Hindu terror attacks here—ever—but plenty of scaremongering & anti-Hindu hate crimes are up. Maybe think tanks should think about that.
