Georgia Becomes First US State To Officially Condemn "Hinduphobia"
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 21/04/2023

Recently, Georgia made history as the first state in the US to take a legislative measure condemning "Hinduphobia." Republican state representatives Lauren McDonald and Todd Jones passed the resolution in the House of Representatives. The resolution comes as other places in the United States, such as Seattle, Washington, made history by passing laws banning caste-based discrimination. The resolution recognized the many contributions made by the Hindu and Indian-American community to the United States in various fields. It was noted that the Indian-American and Hindu communities helped enrich America's social fabric, like ayurveda, yoga, food, arts, music, and meditation, which improved the lives of millions of Americans that adopted them. The resolution discussed the documented bigotry and hate crimes against Hindu Americans and accused certain sectors in academia of exacerbating "Hinduphobia" for allegedly accusing its religious texts and cultural practices of violence and oppression. Shobha Swamy, general secretary of the Coalition of Hindus of North America, said, "We urged for their help in combating such bigotry which advances hatred and creates the idea that Hindus and people of Indian origin need special laws and monitoring due to allegations around some inherent propensity to discriminate."
