Hindus against caste and Hindutva, fighting for pluralism, justice, and equality in South Asia and around the world.

A 250th birthday worth marking should be honest: the country’s highest ideals are under pressure, but they are also being defended every day by organizers, faith communities, artists, and neighbors who refuse to give up on one another. https://t.co/dVGxH8UldL

A powerful reflection on the Ramayan serial, the rise of Ram Mandir politics, and the long consequences of turning shared cultural memory into a tool of majoritarian mobilization.

The NEET paper leak is part of a larger crisis in Indian education. @sioindia

Talha Mannan’s essay asks why a protest for educational justice must also name anti-Muslim discrimination, saffronized curricula, and the exclusion of marginalized students. https://t.co/v2RVStGEmJ

India is pushing Bengali Muslims and Rohingya families across the Bangladesh border at night, often without formal repatriation or due process.

Families are being left stranded in “no man’s land” between borders. This is cruelty, not migration policy. https://t.co/apTopZQywp

We are grateful to Swami Satmitranand, a new member of Satya Dharma Samvad, and Swami Raghvendra, who recently met with former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shri Digvijay Singh Ji and presented him with the HfHR 2026 calendar.

A beautiful moment from Jantar Mantar: amid the CJP protest, Junaid bhai feeding sweets to Sant Baba is a reminder that solidarity is not abstract—it is built in gestures of care, trust, and shared struggle.

Hindu–Muslim unity is our strength.

जंतर मंतर CJP आंदोलन में जुनैद भाई की आज एक और वीडियो खूब वायरल हो रहा है, जिसने वे अपने हाथों से संत बाबा को मिठाई खिला रहें है, हिंदू मुस्लिम एकता की ��िसाल वाकई बहुत खूबसूरत है!

“My religion is to resist injustice.”

Swami Agnivesh’s words still challenge us today. In a moment when faith is too often weaponized, his 2006 speech offers another path: one rooted in truth, love, justice, and human rights.

Umar Khalid has spent nearly six years in jail without trial.

His Guardian interview is a devastating reminder that political prisoners are not symbols or case files — they are human beings whose lives, bodies, and minds are being damaged by the state. https://t.co/CBMFMyFnO5

We join civil society partners in standing with survivors of torture everywhere.

The Intl Day in Support of Victims of Torture is a reminder that torture is never acceptable, govts must protect human dignity, uphold the law, and ensure accountability. https://t.co/xuquadIS8i

The Adani case is not just about one billionaire. It is about whether powerful corporations can buy impunity.

Senators Warren and Blumenthal are right to ask if a $10 billion investment offer influenced the Justice Department’s move to drop the case. https://t.co/lUTss7b6L8

Since our founding, HfHR has stood with the movement to close Rikers.

This step toward moving medically vulnerable people out of the island jail complex matters. It must be followed by decarceration, investment in care, and full closure for good. https://t.co/JnA68ZDoMv

HfHR ANZ’s Devleena Ghosh joins ABC’s Soul Search for a rich conversation on how Hindu gods and goddesses have been visualized across time, place, devotion, and imagination — and why divine forms in Hinduism remain so abundant and alive. https://t.co/dEGgPupY3U

A state cannot claim the mantle of peacemaker abroad while disappearing, criminalizing, and silencing its own people at home.

@SammiBaluch ’s essay is a searing reminder that Pakistan’s image-making must not obscure the human rights crisis in Balochistan. https://t.co/fXBD40Hg2b

Important civic question: what happens to public life when majoritarian politics becomes normalized through everyday social networks?

After 12 years of Modi, polarization is not only institutional — it is reshaping families, friendships, and civic trust. https://t.co/GX0CcjxqLS

If a former editor with documents, resources, and public standing can lose his vote under SIR — and then have his passport renewal blocked — imagine what the most marginalized face.

This is how civic rights become fragile, arbitrary, and frightening. https://t.co/gybgkLLe1t

On Hul Diwas, we honor the Santhal rebellion and the enduring legacy of Adivasi resistance.

May this day strengthen our commitment to dignity, land rights, justice, and self-determination for Indigenous communities. https://t.co/TbV9eZ28IS

Today’s Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship is a vital defense of immigrant families, constitutional equality, and the promise that belonging cannot be made conditional.

When publishers preemptively bury books, censorship wins without leaving fingerprints.

Salil Tripathi’s sharp piece on Joe Sacco, Penguin India & the cowardice of self-censorship shows how words are swallowed before they are even spoken. @saliltripathi. https://t.co/cfumHye6H6
