Our Mission
Individual liberty, freedom and human rights within the framework of a plural world is the basis of what we do. Our notion of Human Rights and Social Justice is inclusive of ALL and is guided by the Rig Vedic idea of a unified and plural world with peace and harmony for all:
समानो मन्त्रः समितिः समानी समानं मनः सह चित्तमेषाम् । समानं मन्त्रमभि मन्त्रये वः समानेन वो हविषा जुहोमि ॥
samāno mantraḥ samitiḥ samānī samānam manaḥ saha cittam eṣām | samānam mantram abhi mantraye vaḥ samānena vo haviṣā juhomi ||
Common be the prayer of these (assembled worshipers), common be the acquisition, common the purpose, associated be the desire. I repeat for you a common prayer, I offer for you with a common oblation.
Sangatan Sukta (the last hymn of Rig Veda, the oldest book known to mankind)
Our Programs
Given the rise of anti-Hindu activities and violence in Western countries, we are focusing on studying Hinduphobia around the world.
Global Hinduphobia
Hinduphobia is defines it as “a set of antagonistic, destructive, and derogatory attitudes and behaviors towards Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) and Hindus that may manifest as prejudice, fear, or hatred.” Hinduphobia or anti-Hindu hatred has a long history. It is fuelled by religious intolerance, religious exclusivism, a lack of religious literacy, misrepresentation in the media, academic bias rooted in often racist, colonial-era erroneous portrayals, and, in the diaspora, generalized anti-immigrant xenophobia and hatred.
The main focus of our “Global Hinduphobia” project is to do research and publish reports, academic papers, online articles and factsheets on Hinduphobia activities around the world. The goal is to inform policymakers, researchers, and the general public about anti-Hindu activities and resulting human suffering in different countries.
