Bulldozer Symbolizing Destruction of Muslim Homes Present at Indian Independence Day Parade in New Jersey

There has been a documented rise of Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism, in the US. ICNA CSJ has recently published a two-part series on Hindu nationalism in India and the US. Read more here, and the following relevant excerpt: 

Hindu nationalism has steadily become more and more entrenched in the social and political landscape and fabric of the US. According to the [Jasa] Macher report, the Hindutva agenda in the US focuses on consolidating power for Hindutva groups through networks of groups that “organize Hindu communities by capturing the righteous frustration at experiences of racism.” They further wish to direct diaspora Hindus to engage with upper caste cultural repertoire – accepting Hindus as the “true owners of land in India.” 

Why is a Hindutva Supporter in The White House?

Do you know Amit Jani? A political operative who has links to Indian PM Modi & other BJP leaders & is now part of the structure that supports Hindutva.
