We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Talk:Shoumik Bhattacharya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Renuka Joshi


Shoumik Bhattacharya is a Ph.D. student in the English Department at the CUNY Graduate Center as of June 4, 2023 and teaches at Baruch College, CUNY.[1]

In 2021, he fraudulently signed a letter supporting the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar 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]
