American Academia -- from Hinduphobia to Hindumisia

[Ramesh Rao]

Learned folks,

Few can say as clearly, thoughtfully, and powerfully as R. Jagannathan (Jaggi) can, and this commentary of his needs to be translated into different languages, shared, discussed, and become part of a conference/some conferences. We are close to a tipping point here, and our children and grandchildren can easily become prey or become part of the Hindumisic gangs...

This commentary is about the variety of academics, collaborating with forty plus universities in the US, organizing a conference on "Dismantling Hindutva".

With regards,

One of their claims is that Hinduphobia is bogus.

Of interest is a quote from 'Hindutva Harrassment Field Manual,' by South Asia Scholar Activist Collective (SASAC) of Audrey Truschke (famous Awrangzeb scholar and Hindu baiter), recently promoted by Dominik Wujastyk  on their Indology mailing list:

First -- "Anti-Hindu bias, [unlike Islamophobia and anti-Semitism], *cannot be easily linked* to casualties on such horrific scales." Source: 'Hindutva Harrassment Field Manual,' South Asia Scholar Activist Collective (SASAC).

and part of a response https://rattibha.com/thread/1427307516657119233?lang=en from Parth Parihar -

"Nothing is more clear, or *more easily documented*, than the systematic campaign of terror – and its genocidal consequences – launched by the Pakistani army on the night of March 25th..." Source: Ted Kennedy, U.S. Senate Judiciary Comte. "Crisis in South Asia."

Kennedy continued, "Hardest hit have been members of the Hindu community who have been robbed of their lands and shops, systematically slaughtered and, in some places, painted with yellow patches marked ‘H.' America’s heavy support of Islamabad is nothing short of complicity."

To repeat the contrast for emphasis, First -- "cannot be easily linked to casualties on horrific scales." (SASAC, 2021) Second -- "Nothing is more clear, or more easily documented... campaign of terror... genocidal consequences... Hindu community." (Sen. Kennedy, 1971)

[Bijoy Misra]

Dear friends,

There are many in this list who silently observe Dominik Wujastyk. 

Hopefully they will take up the matter with him and protest.

He conveniently would not allow me to enter the list claiming that

he "owns" the list. A lot of garbage is "officially" sponsored through the list.

It is time people think on behalf of the country and not personal convenience.

To label all material from India as Hindutva is ignorant and non-sense.

Best regards,

Bijoy Misra

The Hindu-baiter drama-queen Awrangzeb scholar Audrey is part of the below event (Her tweet reads "Dismantling Hindutva conference. September 10-12, virtual, cosponsored by 45+ centers / departments at 40+ universities (including Rutgers). Do consider attending to learn more about the threat and power of #Hindutva in our world.") supposedly sponsored by multiple university departments:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dismantling-global-hindutva-conference-tickets-166698737411

3-Day Conference | Cosponsored by 45+ Departments or Centers from 40+ Universities

About this event

https://www.twitter.com/dghconference | https://www.instagram.com/dghconference/

Speakers Include: Anand Patwardhan | Ayesha Kidwai | Banu Subramaniam | Bhanwar Meghwanshi | Christophe Jaffrelot | Kavita Krishnan | Meena Kandasamy | Mohammad Junaid | Nandini Sunder | Neha Dixit | P. Sivakami

Cosponsors Include Departments and Centers at: Northwestern | UC Berkeley | UChicago | Columbia | Harvard | UPenn | Princeton | Stanford

This rise of militant Hindu groups in India and the corresponding escalation of violence against religious minorities and other marginalized communities is well documented, including by global media. International attention has also been directed at the exclusionary Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 pushed through by the ruling Hindutva-aligned Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the aggressive crackdown on all forms of democratic dissent, and the intimidation and imprisonment of journalists, human rights groups and activists working to empower marginalized caste and tribal communities. This overall erosion of democratic practices and freedoms in India has been noted by global research networks. There has also been some useful scholarship, journalism and community-based activism on the links between Hindutva and racism and caste-ism. We need now to develop a comprehensive understanding of Hindutva and its global implications through its different iterations in the large Indian Diaspora and its potential for building links with other supremacist ideologies, especially as Hindutva groups expand their influence well beyond India.

The BJP and its various affiliate groups have been adept at building connections with the vast Hindu diaspora, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. This reach has contributed materially and ideologically to the strengthening of Hindutva in India. Moreover even as such groups have leveraged racialized minority protections in, for instance, the US, they have continued to support caste-discriminatory practices and have found common cause with far right and white supremacist groups in Europe and the US.

It is also important to recognize the economic turmoil unleashed by the authoritarian economic policies and policy-making framework of the BJP government, including the failed demonetization policies and the ill-conceived agricultural reform policies. Such erratic and draconian policy making has led to stalled economic growth, dangerous declines in basic living standards, and loss of protections for the most vulnerable labor and agricultural communities in India.

This conference will convene panels on a variety of interlinked topics that address the threat and power of Hindutva. Scholars, journalists, and activists will examine the historical development of Hindutva, the fascist dimensions of the ideology, its alignment with other supremacist movements and define all that is at stake across a range of political, socio-cultural, and economic issues. We also aim for the conference to be a space for examining the history of dissent and resistance against Hindutva. Dalit and Feminist traditions have long resisted the singular narrative of Hinduism adopted by Hindu Supremacists. A broader coalition of activists from progressive communities have mobilized to enable both material and ideological divestment from Hindutva. Drawing inspiration from such collectivities, we expect to develop resources for anti-Hindutva pedagogy and organizing in educational and cultural institutions everywhere.

And, it appears that she and her academic supporters participate in this kind of activism quite frequently - 

"Friday, Aug 13, 6 p.m. EST: Saffron Fascism and the Rise of the Hindu Right Featuring Ashok Kumbamu and Jyotsna Kapur.

 

Open to all; RSVP for link here"

Also -

It is curious how she includes "Dalits" in a list of pAki religious minorities at https://twitter.com/AudreyTruschke/status/1423280116403261440 - 
"Also, that introductory article prefaces an entire journal issue on religious minorities in Pakistan (including Hindus, Christians, Dalits, and Shias). "

Just a possible clarification of a sentence that could be read more than one way, from a post on Aug. 16:

"Of interest is a quote from 'Hindutva Harrassment Field Manual,' by South Asia Scholar Activist Collective (SASAC) of Audrey Truschke (famous Awrangzeb scholar and Hindu baiter), recently promoted by Dominik Wujastyk  on their Indology mailing list:"

An announcement of the 'Hindutva Harrassment Field Manual' was posted by Dominik Wujastyk on the Indology mailing list. Audrey Truschke, who could possibly be read as the subject of the sentence, was not promoted there. Rather, the subject of the sentence intended by the writer, I believe, is the manual. As an added note, Audrey resigned from the Indology list some time ago, due to her dissatisfaction with the Indology Committee that she used to be a member of.

[bharat gupt]

I have signed, so shall many of us. But this is not sufficient.

I was seeing this coming noticing the aggressive posts of

Truschke on Risa list. As you all know  the power houses behind such Hinduism hatred and dismantling are Islamists and Christian proselytisers. 

And it is NOT onetime. 

Hindus have to counter not merely in a defensive manner but with all offence, highlighting the damage that Islam and Christianity have done to civilizations, arts and culture throughout history.

Pointing out the creation of Arts and Culture by Hindus and all other Iconophiles including the so called tribal and forest dwellers on one hand and the  destructive of the same by Christians and Muslims on the other hand, hurts the Leftists most and gains the sympathy of average Americans and European.

The Biden Blunder in Afghanistan and the inevitable horrors conducted by Talibanis will only strengthen our arguments.

For that we need to plan many things.

1. A Conference six months later

which focuses not on just countering Left academic jargon but on Iconoclastic Abrahmism and it's ravages in history.

A major theme should be real learned papers on plunder of Americas its Aztecs and Mayans. Also the decultruralisation of African people. Hinduism should be presented as the major player among Iconophiles/ Muurtipujakas/ Saguna pujakas of the world who have been and are still being targeted by Abrahamics and and their intellectual heirs the Marxists.

2. Alert GOI about the links of several academics with proselytisers and who I am sure are part of this anti Hindu conference.

3. Alert Ms Meenakshi Lekhi as to how a long term counter is needed to be planned in many forums and how all Indian missions should know about this dismantling Hinduism conference and its participants.

Best regards 

Bharat Gupt.

Indeed so - although I still suspect Dominik Wujastyk and certain other leading lights of Western Indology of having actively promoted Audrey's campaigns and career; and that making her part of https://indology.info/committee-members/ was part of it (besides being a "signalling" mechanism). I don't have proof, of course, but it fits the profile.

 

As an added note, Audrey resigned from the Indology list some time ago, due to her dissatisfaction with the Indology Committee that she used to be a member of.

Thanks for the information! I'd not have noticed otherwise.

The amount of effort they expend on trying to prove that the backlash they're getting is not "grassroots" but something orchestrated by a small group of "nazi-s" (BJP IT cell or whatever) is remarkable - https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3AAudreyTruschke%20grassroots&src=typed_query&f=live , https://www.hindutvaharassmentfieldmanual.org/organized .

To clarify: I don't really think that AT is delusional about the amount of visceral hatred she elicits from the average informed Hindu, and I don't think it is some coping mechanism. Rather it seems to be an attempt to discredit her opponents in the eyes of quasi-neutral observers.

Many Indians, each pay huge amounts of their hard earned money for getting a degree from the universities mentioned in the flyer and other universities all over the US.

Granted, most of the students enter other departments than the ones organizing this event, still... 

It is not inconceivable that the Indian international students' fees, indirectly, help these universities sustain the academic programs and faculty thriving with this type of prejudice and agenda, as evident in the flyer.

A rough estimate is that there are about 200,000 Indian international students in the US. 

On an average the tuition fee for an international student is about $30000/pa. 

(International student fee is probably the highest in the fee structure)

Even with a back of the envelope calculation, one can ballpark the huge amount of $$$ Indian students bring into the US university system.

Money talks! 

There must be a way to leverage those $$$, such that these universities moderate and reform their narrow minded and biased academic programs and faculty, for their own good.

I would urge list members to avoid the Hindutva Harassment website Manual promoted by the likes of Dominic Wujastyk and FrAudery T(u)ruschke because some people are reporting that their are computer attacks from that website to steal their passwords etc. See an image. These Hinduphobes/Hindumisics are totally full of hate and can really stop very low. See the image below.

As of now, 5 Universities have already written back denying (or retracting) the claims of 'sponsorship' to their Hindu Hatefest.

Haters like Wujastyk and Trushke's flourish because of their Indian origin Gungadin enablers including some on this very list who are now writing Krishna Bhakti shlokas.

Among the Indologists who are not in their hearts anti-hindutva - I gather that among them it is not good for one's career to be pro-hindutva. They may even have to periodically drop an "anti-hindutva" word here and there to signal their compliant status. Even after becoming Associate Professor, there is the greed to be Professor, named professor etc.. Besides, by the time they get "tenure", they are so conditioned to being thralls of "the system" that their "boldness" becomes only constrained to unearthing a few counter-traditional insights.

Yes, another term of signalling is the adjective "Hindu Nationalist" added before a historian or scholar. This viSeshaNa truly does its job of differentiation. For instance Romila Thapar is just a historian, but Sitaram Goel would become a Hindu Nationalist historian. 

May be, we should start using the term Hinduphobic Indologist, or Anti-Vedic Indologist for such people. We can maintain the list of anti-Hindu and anti-Vedic stances of these haters, so that 'fact checkers' can easily verify the same.

Part of https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1429466848374902789.html posted by Megh addresses this as well. "If you doubt this point, ask yourself whether academics would so casually sponsor a conference on "Dismantling Wahabbism" or "Dismantling the CCP." The answer is no, because there would be actual consequences. The BJP/RSS lack the $ & competence to play this game." Fact is that they don't even have the conviction.

If RSS (let alone BJP) were what they imagine it to be, Mo bhAgavat would not be giving bauddhiks like:

- https://twitter.com/rAma_jAmadagnya/status/1421168347199131652 - "MB refers to his previous statement in Delhi about "Hindutva being incomplete without Muslims" that did raise eyebrows in the Hindu society.

Dear Members: 

Here is my two paise  about the unfortunate statement:-

Haters like Wujastyk and Trushke's flourish because of their Indian origin Gungadin enablers including some on this very list who are now writing Krishna Bhakti shlokas.

This is a totally uncalled for comment.  Please don't beat below the belt. What has Krishna Bhakti to do with  problems about academics organizing conferences? We all know who writes on Krishna Bhakti. If one has the scholarship to criticize his 1000 verses on traditional lines he can do so. But passing sarcastic and hateful judgements on the person is not Hindu Dharma. This calls for a proper apology on the part of Sri Vishal Agarwal. I know Vishal through correspondences and his devotion to Hinduism and Dharma is extraordinary. But I am saddened by the tone of his comment. Let us take the good points and leave aside the bad points and not bad mouth Sanskrit Scholars and Pundits. I feel this would be the real Sadasadvastuviveka, badly needed  by NRI's and Swadeshis  to nurture true Bharatiyavidvat.

Cheers

RN Iyengar

Megh Kalyanasundaram-ji, Thank you for sharing the infographics!

Based on the infographics, nearly Rs50,000Crores went into universities(economy around it),...

Many of those universities have departments, academic programs and faculty espousing biased, stereotypical ideas in the name of academic pursuits as evident in the flyer.

The universities could be ranked based on a score representing the degree to which their "departments, academic programs and faculty espouse such biased, stereotypical ideas".

Such a ranking would inform and to some extent influence, the Indian students when they decide on which universities they apply to...
