MEET THE GROUP SPREADING HINDU SUPREMACIST PROPAGANDA ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
The Baffler
India’s global crusade against dissent takes many forms. Much of the work to control the narrative is carried out by an international and intergenerational coalition of students and lobbyists in the diaspora. This is not to suggest some grand conspiracy, but all of these players share a common goal: to advance the ideological objectives of global Hindutva, whose key stratagem is misrepresenting an ethnonationalist vision as human rights forward. Thus HoC’s co-option of anti-racist language is perfectly suited for the college-aged audience. Why wouldn’t a well-meaning social media user who posts in solidarity with decolonial struggle, racial equity, or other identity-based advocacy campaigns not be moved to support HoC if they are led to believe that Hindus comprise an indigenous people under constant threat?
