Dear Indian origin/American leaders in the US,
@satyanadella, @sundarpichai, @ArvindKrishna, @nikesharora, @nealmohan, @MicronCEO, @JayZscaler, @kunalb11, @RamaswmySridhar, @AravSrinivas, @ThomasOrTK, @LeenaNairHR, @snarayen, @VivekGRamaswamy, @RepBera, @CongressmanRaja, @RepSuhas@Kash_Patel
It is high time you all speak up against the despicable, dangerous racism and hate against Indians on American social media. And do something about it as Tech CEOs and political leaders.
The despicable, dehumanizing hate against Indians is being spread everywhere - Facebook, Instagram, X, Youtube, Reddit, Telegram...
Staying silent and not doing anything anymore - as more young people in the US are radicalized to hate Indians using social media - may one day lead to our own family and friends having to face such racist, radicalized, violent, supremacists.
American social media platforms are being used by adversarial actors to specifically target Indians in the US.
They are seeding racism and hate using violent words and dehumanizing imagery, programming many Americans to become racist and hateful - specifically against Indians.
May be it is being done to drive out Indians, attack India for geopolitics, or try erode India-US ties. But it is real, relentless and extreme form of communist hate that's being seeded.
There's no reason why, you all as stalwarts of silicon valley and politics can't get together, talk about this crisis, and take action to end ALL hate and racism on social media.
It shouldn't be that difficult in the age of AI to filter out, block racist and hate filled comments against any community, isn't it.
How come this is not being proposed and implemented across SV companies? And why isn't any of you speaking out against this increasing online hate and racism against Indian Americans and Indians?
Among all mentioned above, till now only @CongressmanRaja has talked about the topic of online hate and the recent attempted mass shooting.
Please start talking among yourselves, even if not publicly, and kindly take some action 🙏
Sai Deepak makes an extraordinary point:
Mana katha manam cheppukunte aa sarele exaggerate chesi cheptunnaru antaru and we want our stories to be written by west. We dont even read literature from our neighboring state but seek information from different countries
Parallel ga watched a clip on Praneeth Hanumanthu channel where one guy from panel was making fun when another guy on panel was talking about historical famines in India.
नवरात्रि में आज देवी माता के चौथे स्वरूप मां कूष्मांडा की पूजा का विधान है। उनकी असीम ऊर्जा से समस्त देशवासियों के जीवन में नई आशा, सुख-समृद्धि एवं आरोग्य का संचार हो।

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
