“Hindus and Muslims are not ‘taking over’ Texas. We are building homes, raising families, serving our communities, praying in our own traditions, and contributing to the shared civic life of this country.”

In light of a recent wave of anti-Hindu, anti-Muslim, and anti-Indian hate across Texas, Hindus for Human Rights strongly denounces this harmful rhetoric. We understand that this hate speech is a political strategy used to vilify minorities and immigrants, and push far right white nationalism.

YouTube removing Anand Patwardhan’s Father, Son and Holy War as “too violent” gets the issue exactly backward.

The film does not glorify violence. It exposes how religious nationalism, masculinity, and political power manufacture it.

A documentary that won national awards and was ordered by India’s Supreme Court to be shown in the public interest should not vanish because it makes powerful truths uncomfortable.

The filmmaker criticised the platform saying ‘remove the censors, not good sense’.

Amnesty International is warning that Pakistan’s “terrorism” designation of the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee marks a dangerous escalation in the crackdown in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir.

This is what the misuse of anti-terror laws looks like: a grassroots movement is criminalized, communications are cut off, arrests escalate, and protesters are met with deadly force.

The right to protest, organize, report, and demand political and economic rights must be protected—not punished. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/06/pakistan-terrorism-designation-of-pro[…]nt-marks-dangerous-escalation-in-jammu-and-kashmir-crackdown/

Crackdown in Pakistan-administrated Jammu and Kashmir has included an internet shutdown, mass arbitrary arrests, and deadly use of force

Yogendra Yadav’s warning is stark: the SIR verdict could normalize “curated voter lists” for decades.

When the voter roll itself becomes a site of exclusion, elections are no longer just contested at the ballot box—they are shaped before voters ever arrive. https://en.themooknayak.com/politics/democracys-soul-has-been-taken-yogendra-yadav-war[…]ir-verdict-will-allow-curated-voter-lists-for-next-50-years

The Mooknayak is dedicated to marginalized and unprivileged people of India. It works on the principle of the Constitution.

Eleven years into the Modi-Shah era, anti-Muslim politics is not a side effect. It is a governing project: through policy, rhetoric, erased representation, and manufactured hate, a strategy to maintain power by turning one community into a permanent target.

Eleven years into the Modi-Shah regime, is it clear that the marginalisation of Muslims is not a by-product of the BJP’s politics. It is expressed through policy, rhetoric, the denial of representation and the manufacture of communal hatred.
