Hindutva Playing a Harmful Role in US Politics: Sunita Viswanath on VIGILANT | The Quint

“Where were you that day?” Outside the 2019 ‘Howdy Modi’ rally in Houston, Sunita Viswanath stood holding signs that read: ‘Real Hindus don’t lynch’ and ‘Hindutva is un-Hindu, ahimsa is our culture’. Recalling that day, the co-founder of Hindus for Human Rights describes watching thousands of Indian Americans stream into the stadium to cheer on Narendra Modi and Donald Trump. In that moment, she says she was grateful that she would be able to look her children and grandchildren in the eye and say she stood on the right side of history.
