Talk:Gregory Stanton
By Renuka Joshi
Dr. Gregory H. Stanton is the founding president and chairman of Genocide Watch as of 8th June 2023.[1] According to his profile, his areas of interest and service include Human rights, law, Cultural Anthropology, and Criminal Justice.
In 2021, he fraudulently endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference as a scholar and an academic 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 in 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."[2]
Note- He has personally not published any articles direclty on Hinduism/Hindutva but in one of his articles there is anti hindu statement. On his website there are articles on Islamophobia and Hindus etc. Please check here - https://www.genocidewatch.com/articles-by-dr-stanton
