“Unfortunately, Hinduphobia is very real. I’ve experienced it directly in each of my campaigns for Congress & in this presidential race,” former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard had tweeted final 12 months. Her sentiments at the moment are getting bolstered because the US witnessed a brand new case of Hinduphobia in an ivy league college- Dartmouth.Read More: Tulsi Gabbard’s anti-Islamist terror speech is strictly the form of aggression the world needsEarlier this 12 months, Dartmouth witnessed a case of sheer Hinduphobia. 3 Hindu Professors- Deeparnab Chakrabarty, Amit Chakrabarti and Prasad Jayanti, on the ivy league school, confronted allegations of ‘Retaliation’ and ‘Discrimination on the Basis of Religion’ by the hands of Maha Hasan Alshawi, a former Computer Science PhD scholar at Dartmouth College from September 2019 to November 2020. What was the complete case?As per an exterior investigation report of the complete controversy, Aishawi alleged, “Professor Quattrini Li, her supervisor/research advisor, touched his “private area” twice in her presence and entered Complainant’s workplace with out permission.” She reported the matter to Deputy Title IX Coordinator, Gary Sund. However, the exterior investigation report acknowledged, “Respondent Sund assessed the report and found that, taken as true, the report did not fall under the Title IX Policy because, as described, the conduct was not conduct of a sexual nature.” After Sund dismissed the grievance in opposition to Professor Li, Aishawi filed sure grievances in opposition to Respondent Jayanti, Professor Deeparnab Chakrabarty and a Hindu scholar recognized as “Student 3” within the exterior investigation report. The grievances had been submitted to Antonio Ferrantino, former Director, Institutional Diversity and Equity. Later, Aishawi additional filed a criticism in opposition to Ferrantino on the allegation that he didn’t deal with her report of retaliation. Shocking Hinduphobhia in complaints in opposition to Hindu ProfessorsThe exterior investigation report revealed, “Respondent Ferrantino stated that Complainant never made a report about him. Respondent Ferrantino noted that, on the online submission form that Complainant filled out on June 16, 2020, she identified Professor Alberto Quattrini Li, Respondent Jayanti, and Respondent Amit Chakrabarti as the individuals who discriminated against her.” Ferrantino famous that there have been no specifics within the criticism in opposition to Deeparnab Chakrabarty and Aishawi mentioned that “she believes she was abused and harassed because she was Muslim and he was Hindu.” Ferrantino mentioned, “The complaints against other Respondents too seem to be obscure and reek of Hinduphobia. In a June 30, 2020, email, Aishawi wrote, “As I said before, [Respondent] Jayanti, [Respondent] Amit [Chakrabarti], Professor Deeparnab [Chakrabarty], and [Student 3] all belong to the same religion, and they are all friends and colleagues.”Ferrantino mentioned, “I asked [Complainant] for specifics and she declined to give me them. She said she believed that Hindus like seeing Muslims being tortured but there were no specifics. It was just her belief.”The contents of the criticism reveal how the allegations in opposition to the Hindu Professors simply because they had been Hindus. To say that the Respondents belong to “the same religion” suggests sheer prejudice in opposition to the Hindu Professors based mostly on their faith. What significantly reeks of Hinduphobia within the sweeping comment that “Hindus like seeing Muslims being tortured”. Such hateful sentiments are what appear to have prompted the frivolous complaints in opposition to Hindu Professors. The complainant additionally alleged that Jayanti belonged to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and wrongly claimed that the RSS is an “anti-Muslim organisation.”  Frankly, the allegations will not be fairly stunning. With the form of hateful commentary that’s run in opposition to “Hindu nationalism” within the left-liberal US media and the fixed portrayal of Hindus as fascists with actions like banning the Hindu Swastika, concern and prejudice in regards to the Hindu group is being created within the American society. Also, the so-called progressive lawmakers like Ilhan Omar have normalised the adverse portrayal of Hindus. Those who learn and consider in such hostile commentary naturally find yourself blaming Hindus simply due to their faith. All Professors together with Hindu ones exoneratedIn the exterior investigation report, complaints in opposition to Professor Jayanti and Professor Chakrabarti had been investigated. The criticism alleged that Jayanti “withheld solutions to problem sets from Complainant” and gave her “a “low pass” grade for her TA mark and that such motion was an adversarial act in retaliation for Complainant submitting a Title IX criticism in opposition to Professor Quattrini Li.” She additionally alleged that “Respondent Jayanti interfered with her ability to advance to the advanced algorithms class, CS 231.” Allegations in opposition to Chakrabarty had been made below two completely different heads- ‘Retaliation’ and ‘Discrimination on the Basis of Religion’. Concerning Professor Chakrabarti, allegations of agreeing however failing function PhD supervisor, forcing the complainant to “identify a supervisor/research advisor when other first year PhD students did not have to do so” and informing her that “her fellowship would be affected by her “low pass” TA mark” had been made. She claimed that such actions had been in ‘Retaliation’ for submitting a criticism in opposition to Professor Quattrini Li.  Yet, within the closing investigation report, not one of the allegations made by Professor Quattrini Li was upheld. The report acknowledged, “we find that there is insufficient information to support a finding, by a preponderance of the evidence, that any of the named Respondents engaged in Retaliation. We also find that there is insufficient information to support a finding, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Respondent Jayanti engaged in Discrimination on the basis of religion.” THREAD: Did you already know {that a} scholar filed a criticism in opposition to Hindu professors at @Dartmouth simply bc they had been Hindu?Didn’t hear about it? Our staff investigated the most important Hinduphobic scandal in Dartmouth’s historical past. #Hinduphobia #AcademicTwitter https://t.co/Bun38wjyVN— Hindu On Campus (@hinduoncampus) October 22, 2021Dartmouth thus witnessed a brand new type of Jihad waged in opposition to Hindu Professors. Yet, the issue is deeper. The Woke and Islamo-leftist lobbies within the United States of America are sometimes discovered indulging in blatant Hinduphobia which fits so far as attempting to painting abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir as a Hindu nationalist transfer or organising a “Dismantling Global Hindutva” convention for no good motive.The fear-mongering in opposition to Hindus is changing into an all-pervasive concern within the West and that is resulting in an increase in hate and vengeful angle in opposition to the Hindu group.
