Just like the Jews have faced discrimination, hostility and persecution from anti-Semites for a very long time, Hindus have also been the target of hateful and venomous attacks (physical, mental and verbal), resulting in their massacres, genocides and ethnic cleansing during centuries.
And the latest example seems to be the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) which tweeted a photo of Pratima Roy, an American Indian, who had the opportunity to intern at the space research agency. In the photo released by NASA, Roy’s desk was adorned with photos and writings of Hindu gods and deities.

The photo caused a stir on social media, with many targeting young Roy for being a Hindu devotee. Although many supported Roy, the troll attacks stood out for their sheer villainy.
Here’s how the trolls targeted Roy and why they’re just Hinduphobes:
Troll Attack 1 ‘Hindus wear two masks, one of religiosity, the other of modernism’

What is wrong with being a proud Hindu who takes a progressive, scientific outlook on life. Isn’t that the essence of a modern, secular society, Mr. Mandal? Or only non-Hindus are allowed to wear religion proudly on their sleeves.
They are in fact pseudo-secular people like these who wear two masks seamlessly, one of liberalism and the other of Hinduphobia.
A community of over a billion people is humiliated and feels like an outcast where all other communities are celebrated and allowed (rightly) to assume and display their religiosity without any humiliation.
Troll Attack 2 Can’t Hindus do anything without their gods? ‘,’ Why do Hindus believe more in god than in science? ‘

Listen, Hindusphobes, a Hindu who prays daily, receives blessings from his god daily cannot and will not do without. Do with it. And that doesn’t take away from his belief in science. Being a practicing Hindu and passionate about science are not mutually exclusive. Being an atheist is not a prerequisite for joining NASA or being a scientist.
Troll Attack 3 ‘Ram was a bigot’, ‘They are right-wing Hindu gods’, ‘India is a terrorist Hindu state and the Hindus and sub-humans’

It is no longer occasional bigotry and racism. It is Hinduism in its own right (hatred for Hindus, their very existence and their writings). If not dealt with urgently in all major human rights forums, it could have devastating consequences for the Hindu community around the world.
And what are the right-wing Hindu gods anyway? Since when did the gods start to have such ideologies?
It seems that the platitudes of diversity, tolerance and pluralism disappear the moment a practicing Hindu takes the stage.
