A student-led grassroots organization, Hindu on Campus (HOC), has launched the first dedicated website to document incidents of Hinduphobia on university campuses across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
The website compiles over 100 cases of anti-Hindu and anti-India bias reported over the past four years. It serves as a resource for Hindu organizations and advocacy groups working to address discrimination in academic institutions.
Announcing the launch on X, Hindu on Campus stated, “We have launched the first website to document Hinduphobia on campuses. We’ve collated 100+ Anti-Hindu & Anti-India incidents from the last four years on [US, UK, Canada, and Australia] campuses, which Hindu organizations can use as a reference.”
HOC, founded in March 2021, focuses on amplifying Gen Z Hindu voices, combating Hinduphobia, and ensuring fair treatment for Hindu students. The group engages in grassroots activism, social media awareness, and data-driven advocacy.
The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) welcomed the initiative, stating, “Wonderful to see this documentation of anti-Hindu incidents on college campuses by @hinduoncampus. We look forward to using this information in our conversations with important stakeholders.”
The website’s launch follows rising concerns over anti-Hindu sentiment. A 2022 Rutgers University report highlighted a significant increase in online hate speech targeting the Hindu community.
