On Tuesday, Rajiv Sinha, the director of the anti-Hindu and anti-India US-based organisation Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR) wrote to the Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London to ‘cut off all ties’ with Hindu institutions like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), BAPS and Chinmaya Mission.
The anti-Hindu organisation HfHR has a history of siding with anti-India elements and terrorist organisations. It was miffed since these Hindu institutions had participated in organising the Diwali festival at London’s Trafalgar Square on October 27.
In a letter to the Mayor of London, which was shared on X by popular user @SuhagAShukla, Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR) expressed dismay that the coalition of these Hindu institutions helped in organising the Mayor of London’s recent Diwali event. Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR) requested the Mayor of London to sever ties with these Hindu organizations and seek new partners to lead future Diwali celebrations.
‘These Hindu groups perform a whitewashing function for the Hindutva movement in India and the UK’, claimed HfHR.
The organisation has been at the front line for pushing anti-Hindu narratives in the US and UK. It has positioned itself as a defender of human rights and the organisation is funded by the likes of the Tides Foundation, an entity linked to funding pro-Hamas rallies on US university campuses. HfHR’s advocacy efforts align with those of separatist and extremist groups hostile to Hindu interests.
The Tides Foundation has been implicated in various activities that go beyond just political advocacy. Tides is involved in financing many anti-India and anti-Hindu organisations, pushing narratives that distort India’s human rights record and defame Hindu cultural symbols and practices.
Their funding of pro-Hamas rallies in US universities highlights the uncertain nature of their agenda. That HfHR receives financial support from such a source is a clear sign of the broader anti-Hindu nexus being formed in the name of ‘human rights.’ It must be noted that HfHR is not just another benign human rights group but it is part of a coordinated effort to devalue Hindu voices in the global diaspora.
