Attacks on minorities span multiple dimensions and early identification of these attacks is
critical. We present the following recommendations based on our experience as a persecuted
minority tradition.
1) The UN needs to pay special attention to attacks on Hindu Religious Minorities and other
sub-traditions which can be difficult to distinguish from the majority groups but experience the
same problems of persecution as other recognized minorities
2) Indian Media’s unchecked hate speech against Hindu Gurus and Hindu customs needs to
be
curtailed
–
what
is
commonly
referred
to
as
trial
by
media.
3) The tendency of Indian Judges to overreach into the rights of minority sub-traditions in the
name of reform or play to public opinion created by the media hype needs to be stopped.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
