Hindu Americans, Researchers and Lawmakers Discuss Rising Hinduphobia in CoHNA Event at Capitol Hill

Washington, D.C.--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2023) - The 2nd National Hindu Advocacy Day on the Hill, a historic event organized by the Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) at the US Capitol, saw lawmakers, community leaders, delegates, and researchers coming together in a packed room, to discuss the concerns Hindus living in the US face. More than 21 lawmakers (congressional reps and staffers) attended the July 11th events, which centered on Hinduphobia. It's a problem that has been amplified via "caste" laws and policies that seek to profile Hindus in America, as well as rising levels of online hate from a globally connected set of networks associated with Khalistani and Islamist terror, which at times spills over into real life violence.
