I’m a Kashmiri Pandit. My relatives were murdered, survived assasination attempts, & fled when they heard thousands chanting slogans like “Kashmir mai agar rehna hai, Allah ho Akbar kehna hai.” No that wasn’t the BJP, you fool. They were terrorists fighting Pakistan’s proxy war.

Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was BJP's game plan - to polarise India. The community was made a scapegoat. BJP was in alliance with VP Singh Govt. The main characters were played by Advani, Vajpaee, Mufti & Jagmohan. This is harsh reality!

USCIRF is deeply troubled by the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) in the Lok Sabha. The CAB enshrines a pathway to citizenship for immigrants that specifically excludes Muslims, setting a legal criterion for citizenship based on religion.

Pray tell, @raqib_naik , what disturbs you about this tweet? I mean it would be pretty ironic if you’re hating on @TulsiGabbard for using the word “Islamist”, while hurling “Hindutva” at every Hindu you don’t like.

This anti-Muslim bigotry & hate partially comes from her lifelong association with the members of Sangh Parivar in the US. FYI, her miserably failed 2020 presidential election bid was well funded by the US based RSS affiliated groups and individuals. #DismantlingGlobalHindutva

A Christian, anti-Hindu supremacist claims that reporting hate speech, including recorded conversations about dismantling Hinduism, is an attack on academic freedom. Not in My Country.

The United States is a secular country founded on Christian principles. I live in Texas. The 10 Commandments are publicly displayed on the grounds of our state capitol. India is a secular country founded on Hindu principles. But we make a fuss about it. Get over it.

Secular Indians are lamenting that #RamMandir means that "India is a Hindu country". Umm, I'm sure you geniuses know that the Official Motto of your country is "Satyameva Jayate". An ancient #Sanskrit phrase taken straight from the Hindu Upanishads. So why the fake outrage now?

What Imran Khan and the wife of terrorist, Yasin Malik, won’t talk about are the two LeT terrorists who shot 30 rounds from a *mosque* at CRPF forces. In fact, no one from Sopore, Kashmir is willing to mention this “minor” fact. Those who speak against militants are killed.

Hey Audrey, if you want to do ‘research’ on @HinduAmerican , you might want to consult sources besides Caravan. But I guess it's hard for you to do primary source research when you’ve blocked us all 😂. Doesn’t speak well to your academic method, but we kinda knew that already.

@AdityaRajKaul For @RanaAyyub , the fact that #AtiqAhmed was a gangster facing 100 criminal cases who killed many innocents & was the "bin Laden" of UP, isn't worth mentioning. He shouldn't have been killed in police custody, but why would she only report half the story? Because she's a coward.

The lawsuit against Truschke was instigated by an Al Jazeera article written by Raqib Naik, who hid his activist connections with IAMC in order to attack HAF. After HAF's lawsuit, Naik's article was taken down and forced to be revised. 2/n

Every Hindu needs to may homage to Kashmir, the home of Maharishi Panini. He was the father of linguistics & Sanskrit grammar, 2500 years ago. In fact, the entire body of Sanskrit literature has its origins in Kashmir. (1/2)

Kashmiri Muslims refer to July 13 as Martyrs’ Day, since in 1931, 22 Kashmiri Muslims were killed by a Dogra ruler. But why start at 1931? Let’s go back to 1389, when the ruthless Muslim ruler, Sultan Sikander, taxed Hindus, forced us to convert, & destroyed our idols.

A Muslim doctor in the US stated she would give Jews the “wrong meds" & that supporters of Israel should have their “immune cells killed." She called for violence against Jews, trivialized the Holocaust, defended Hamas, & expressed support for terrorists

Summary: We Muslims are the victims. We are covering our face (in England) because of discrimination from the BJP/RSS. This temple must denounce the BJP/RSS. We are just defending our honor. Allah Ho Akbar. Scary. Real. Common in theocracies, and now seen in democracies.

First @AudreyTruschke blocked me, then calls me an anti-Semite behind my back because I mention that @simran is an Open Society fellow. It's literally in the @CNN disclosure! Typical Truschke. Calling Rama a misogynist pig is not Hinduphobia, but ok to slur me as an anti-Semite.

The letter simply asks Raqib to delete a malicious tweet. Sadly, Raqib is choosing to mock the process and mock me, an exodus survivor who lost the home of my birth, as “Rajiv Retribution.” Where did I see that before? Right. Audrey, co-conspirator in @HinduAmerican ’s lawsuit.

We haven't heard from @AudreyTruschke to the letter from @HinduAmerican 's attorney. We don't take libel lightly, and baseless allegations of violence are a huge red flag for a US-based professor. Lawsuit filed. See you in court.

This letter by HAF's attorney to Audrey Truschke highlights 26 defamatory statements she made: 9 original, 8 from Al Jazeera's 1st article, & 9 from a 2nd article. They were made with "reckless disregard of whether it was false or not," a legal standard. TFS, @DrAmbardar .

The niece of vice-president, @KamalaHarris , is quickly turning Hinduphobic. She takes a piece about Christian extremism & turns it against Hindus. Not a single thing about the farm bills or the protests is about Hinduism or Hindu extremism. This is pure Hinduphobia.

What gives a Western academic--whose family does Christian missionary work in India, says the Gita rationalizes mass slaughter, says Sita called Lord Rama a misogynistic pig, and is on record mocking & denying Hinduphobia--the legitimacy to define Hinduism or Hindutva?

I am compelled to retain legal counsel because the attacks I’m still facing could visit any Kashmiri Hindu experiencing a catharsis long denied. I’m compelled also to assuage the anguish of my family that suffered an exodus & terrorism in 1990, but is revisiting that pain today.
