India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Few comments wrt to SB403:
Here is @cmkshama - —her frequent trips to the Bay Area pushing SB403 failed, but in her post-veto statement, she manages to spit fire at Newsom, Biden, Modi and us..
Socialists are some really angry people. We always said SB403 was about targeting us, not caste.

^^Also - there are campaigns against techies .. eg:
Google, comprising Indian immigrants mostly from Hindu higher castes and currently led by Sundar Pichai, who is a Tamil Brahmin, had contributed $250,000 to Gavin Newsom's campaign for Governor of California. Today, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed #SB403. This is how multinational companies interfere in political affairs of the state or the country .
Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
^ Kshama Sawant is a marxist-leninist masquerading as a socialist and is now a dried prune (1). She is a great "democratic" tool of the US/CA/Washington state who want to get off the Khalistani Terrorism. However, she also created blowback for the same backers and hence decided to not run for re-election.
She scrapped through her recall by a mere 300+ votes and her largest voter base is the special minority.
Anyway, it is important for ppl to see how local politics plays out on international stage (US SB403) and how media often gets it wrong while the seasoned leaders in N. Delhi get it right. Modi and Dr. Jaishankar has mentioned this. That India's strength and asset is its democratic values and how India elected Modi made (among democratically elected leaders) Modi the boss (Aus PM words, not mine) .

The calculus of the situation was palpable: Sawant is a lame duck, and just doesn’t pack the same wallop she once did.

These are the board of directors of Anti Hindu org @Hindus4HR who are trying to destabilize India and break India
They are Hindu in name only .. There is nothing Hindu in @Hindus4HR....
India has been filled with such culturally treacherous scum for the past more than 800 years

Another Big win in California .. After SB403 being vetoed T
Gov. Gavin Newsom signs into law AB449 ( Which many of us lobbied for)
This requires all CA law enforcement agencies to adopt a hate crimes policy & to follow specific guidelines when responding to such cases. This will help us gather accurate data, allowing us to find more ways to combat hate
The language includes - "law enforcement identify sacred symbols when investigating hate crimes against Hindus, including "forehead markings, known as bindis and tilaks, Aum/Om symbols, and images of deities known as murtis.”

Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
The veto of SB403 is like a temporary hold on a floodgate. It's a brief respite in an ongoing struggle. This fight is far from concluded and will require continued dedication and effort... There are a few legal cases going on too.. Among many, one way one can provide fund for legal help

In Naperville, IL: Quran burning amplified on SM by CAIR & IAMC was a fake news. (there was no intention to target Muslims by the Indian family/boy)
Link: https://x.com/nagjaiswal/status/1712933 ... 11267?s=20
(US Citizens - please do read the above - for details and links)
It is unacceptable that a Indian American family’s life was endangered over false charges and these national groups must apologize.
CAIR should apologize as well as publish newspaper advertisements disclaiming burning of Quran by a Hindu student at Chicago.
Failing which, they should be taken to court and cleaned off everything they have.

Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
I lived in Naperville, IL for 40 years (before I moved out). 3/all of my children attended the school mentioned in that tweet. (Naperville has produced 3 Olympians and I had the honor of coaching one of them (she is still playing at the professional level).)
Naperville - per my friends of decades - is being "occupied by Muslims"!!!!
Naperville used to be one of two centers of AT&T Bell Labs, it was known for science and tech (which is why I moved there).
Today Muslims are paying cash to buy properties in Naperville!!!! Houses are being converted to "mosques". Traffic jams on RESIDENTIAL streets are common, and the Naperville Police Department investing huge sums in traffic management.
I am surprised by this incident - Naperville has a HUGE population of Hindus (of course - technology attracted them).
added l8r:
The street where we lived Americans, on that street, were used to kirtans/bhajans, saris, bindi, mehendi, etc.
I used to walk around in my lungi (south Indian, what do you expect?)

And, that is my question, why the same analysis for decades?
So, how exactly do we "this hate must be countered and not be ignored"?
I have provided idea and the only counter I get is "it is not politically correct" or "you need to be religiously sensitive".
My question, "who is PC or religiously sensitive?"
As an example, I demand that Hussien Obama be cancelled - because he uttered "Muslim India". It is not a request, it is a demand. But, ............
Point is enough analysis.
Need bullet point of actions to counter this nonesense.

The introduction of SB 403 was the latest and most dangerous missive in the disturbing trend of targeting Hindu Americans.
SB 403 is dead but hate against Hindu Americans has only begun
‘Upper-caste Indians are Nazis’. ‘Hindu scriptures do nothing but bring violence and pain’. ‘Hindu texts give spiritual foundation for slavery’. These hateful comments aren’t anonymous diatribes on social media, but remarks made during public trainings and seminars by the founder and Executive Director of Equality Labs, Thenmozhi Soundararajan. Her organization was the primary supporter of California’s so-called anti-caste discrimination bill SB 403. Thankfully, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the ill-conceived bill on 7 October.
The original language of SB 403 not only singled out specific South Asian nations, but also made ugly, unsubstantiated claims about South Asian Americans engaging in caste-motivated harassment and discrimination as well as human trafficking, rape, and violence.

One person donated to UC Irvine for a Hindu Sudies Chair. Promptly some rabid anti Sanathann was appointed.

Here is the copy of letter to Penn U which lost a good donor:

And Here is Harvard which also recently lost a good donor ..and in the news..

--- BTW there is a famous story ;
Washington Duke, a wealthy tobacco and electric power magnate who wanted to make a substantial donation to name a building after his name .. at this famous college-- they were arrogant and did not get agree.
In response to this refusal, Washington Duke decided to provide a substantial endowment, and his family continued to support another university over the years. As a result, the university was named "Duke University" in honor of the Duke family, and it has since become a prestigious and well-regarded institution.
So if Harvard does not want -- some other place may want it..
Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
The problem is not the Universities. But the Hindus who are willing to go with the anti-hindu bashing. It is not the same as the Jewish community. Hindus are fragemented.

I am shocked and saddened by the news of Samantha Woll’s murder in Detroit. She was the president of one of Detroit’s prominent synagogues. Details are pending.
She was a friend of the Hindu community. Helped organize local Hanukkah Diwali celebrations, and was Padma Kuppa’s campaign manager when she first won election in 2018.
Om Shanti.
A life tragically cut short in violence…
Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll found fatally stabbed outside home
(BTW she is in the same district as the vile Anti-Hindu Rashida Tlaib - who has *not* yet tweeted about her)
(She was also the founder of the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit - Yet while condolences are coming from almost everywhere, I have not seen any from CAIR or IMC yet. added later: I see CAIR National issued a statement...)

In the UK, Muslims used to buy houses in neighbourhoods which has many Jews. That way, they could buy Kosher foods at Jewish shops easily, before they had halal shops. Mosques used to issue such advice to would be Muslim buyers.

Skokie, and a few others same story.
But, Naperville is a different story. While other areas were predominantly business oriented dealing, Naperville was purely technology.
Jews and Indians had one thing in common: top notch education. Muslims are there for Islam.
