Talk:Ambedkar King Study Circle

Ambedkar King Study Circle is an educational institution based in San Jose. It aims to "challenge caste, class, race, gender and religious oppression and oppressors on ideological, political and social fronts."

As per their website, they have published no books, papers or research pertaining to Hindus, rights of Hindus, the impact or relationship between Islam and Hinduism / Hindutva and the Indian Government, as of December 2022.

(Note - this may need a re-check, since they have published press releases, and have a tab on academic papers and discussion. However, no information could be found there)

In 2021, they endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference and made the allegation

"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."
