For years, despite rising majoritarian violence perpetrated by Hindu extremist mobs against Muslims, Christians, Dalits, and other marginalized communities in India, few Hindu religious leaders or institutions have spoken out against these trends and the rising influence of the political ideology of Hindu nationalism, or “Hindutva.” This panel discussion will interrogate the phenomenon of “Hindu silence,”, particularly in the aftermath of the Dharma Sansad of December 2021, in which Hindu extremist leaders called for genocide against Indian Muslims. Our panellists will speak to the need for Hindu leaders, institutions, and ordinary community leaders to speak out against violence and hate carried out in the name of a monolithic Hindu identity.
