Hindus for Human Rights

We advocate for pluralism, civil and human rights in South Asia and North America, rooted in the values of our faith: shanti (peace), nyaya (justice) and satya (truth). We provide a Hindu voice of resistance to caste, Hindutva (Hindu nationalism), racism, and all forms of bigotry and oppression. Our vision is a world defined by lokasangraha (the universal common good) — where there is peace among all people, and our planet is honored and protected.

Bulldozer Justice and the Fight for Human Rights in India

A home is more than bricks and walls—it is where families build memories, find safety, and dream of a better future. In India, bulldozer justice has become a painful symbol in debates over demolitions that critics say have sometimes targeted people from particular communities. When political leaders or authorities are accused of singling out a community and a family’s home is demolished, the pain goes far beyond the loss of property. It can feel like a bulldozer has driven through people’s memories, dignity, dreams, and hope for tomorrow. Hindus for Human Rights defends vulnerable communities, challenges bigotry in the name of Hinduism, and amplifies voices against violence and majoritarian rule. We believe justice should never depend on religion or identity. Stand for due process, equality, dignity, and human rights for all.
