What is Hinduphobia?
Hinduphobia is considered as the irrational fear or prejudice against Hinduism and its followers. In recent years, Hinduphobia has been on the rise. It has been fuelled by misinformation, various stereotypes as well as misconceptions. It ranges from derogatory introduction in media to discriminatory policies and incidents of violence against the Hindu community.
During her testimony, Ganesh highlighted the fact that there is a need for increasing awareness and education related to Hinduism and its practices. It should be our top priority to eliminate myths and stereotypes that lead to Hinduphobia.
