Meena Dhanda
Meena Dhanda is a Professor of Philosophy and Cultural Politics, Faculty of Arts at the University of Wolverhampton as of January 2023[1][2].
According to her University Profile, her research is based on social and political philosophy, ethics, cultural politics, identity, feminist philosophy, and the work of anti-racism and anti-casteism theorists. Nonetheless, Meena Dhanda has published no books, papers or research pertaining to the antagonistic relationship between Islam and Hinduism.
In 2021, she endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference and made the following unsubstantiated statement:
"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."[3]
