In a time of rising Christian nationalism and growing hostility toward Hindu Americans, it’s deeply troubling to hear the VP publicly hope for his Hindu spouse to change her faith. In the USA, the second-most powerful leader should never privilege one faith over others. buff.ly/869bf4Q

We’re cited in this @scroll_in piece on the rise of anti-Indian hate. Racism against our communities is real — and so is the danger of letting politics distort how we confront it. Standing up for Indians everywhere means opposing hate, without letting hate speak for us. scroll.in/article/1087...
