In response to a tweet by a Twitter User, David Lunn, criticizing the light and sound show at Jallianwala Bagh Smarak, in a respectful manner: "I am obviously wary of imposing my own (white western) aesthetic standards here, but I fail to see how this honours anyone… #JallianwalaBaghSmarak", Priyamvada Gopal responded by saying, "Is that a whale p**is?"

A 12-year-old Hindu soccer player of Indian origin Shubh Patel was sent off the field for wearing a religious necklace made of beads (mala). Shubh added that he’s worn it every other game this season. In fact, Shubh has worn his religious necklace since the age of five as a Hindu Swaminarayan. Football Queensland launched an investigation and has apologised to Shubh Patel’s family and Toowong Soccer Club. For now, Shubh Patel has been awarded special permission to play soccer while following his Hindu religious practice of wearing a religious necklace. FIFA has authorised the wearing of Islamic head covers and Sikh Turban for religious purposes during matches.

Mohan J Dutta, Dean's Chair Professor of Communication at Massey University (University of New Zealand), tweeted: "The Christchurch terrorist was in India and one question that need empirical investigation is, what links if any did he have to the Hindutva forces there."

In the Instagram post, The Juggernaut writes: "Happy Raksha Bandhan to those who celebrate. Traditionally, in the Hindu rite, a sister ties a piece of string, or a rakhi, to her brother's wrist to wish him good health and wealth; in return, the brother promises to protect his sister. Despite its patriarchal origins, for some, the holiday has become less about religion and more about bringing together siblings. @shrai.popat writes: There are a myriad of stories about the festival’s origins. Growing up, I was regaled with a tale in the "Mahabharata," where the epic’s heroine, Draupadi, ties a piece torn from her sari to heal Lord Krishna’s finger wound — incurred from slaying his cousin, Shishupala, for his repeated sins. As thanks, Lord Krishna promises eternal protection for Draupadi. In essence, the story serves as a launchpad for the strength of platonic relationships in South Asian culture: where a brother and sister are bound together, like many cultural rites, by a mixture of duty, necessity, love, and a healthy splash of familial guilt.

In a Twitter thread, Sangay Mishra, Associate Professor, Political Science at Drew University, wrote: "The term Hinduphobia is being deployed rather frequently in the U.S. and other western countries with sizable Indian diasporic population. The use is mostly coming from formations that want to shield the current political regime in India led by BJP/RSS!! I have been thinking about this term a lot lately and I engage with the term seriously: the term is loosely deployed to suggest that there is a widespread hatred of Hinduism and Hindus in the west ( something akin to Islamophobia or anti-semitism loosely speaking). There is, of course, a history of denigrating and ridiculing of non-Abrahamic religion such as Hinduism in the west but whether it has acquired the form of Hinduphobia in the contemporary moment is something that needs to be interrogated. I come to this from my scholarship on South Asians in U. S. with a specific focus on Indian Americans. I have conducted multiple interviews with Hindu Indian Americans( alongside Indians and South Asians of other religious affiliations) over the last many years resulting into published peer-reviewed scholarship. One of the questions that I focused on in my research was whether South Asians encountered discrimination in their day to day lives in United States. While thinking back to those conversations , I can say that there was a lot of conversation about discrimination and hostility. There were a large number of Indian descent Hindu participants in my study and they talked a fair bit about discrimination. When they spoke about discrimination they referred to their appearance, skin color, accent, culture, food, religion, and racial identity!! Being Hindu as a basis for discrimination did not come up very frequently and strongly in those conversations. It is not that Hindu identity is not used for discriminating in certain settings but Hindu Americans did not use that frequently to understand discrimination. In fact, since these conversations happened in the post-9/11 period, a large number of them evoked being seen as Muslim and how prevailing anti-Muslim sentiments are leading to targeting of people who " appear to be Muslim." I am sure religious difference in a predominantly Christian society remains a ground for exclusion and hostility but attempt to understand Hindu Indian American experience of exclusion, discrimination, and hostility through the lens of Hinduphobia is not supported by research. The use of Hinduphobia to shield religious nationalist exclusionary government in India is an issue that requires a separate discussion but I wanted to share my thoughts about the terms itself and how that matches with the experience of Indian Americans !!
