Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fighting the Growing Tide of Hindutva in the US: Sunita Viswanath on VIGILANT Episode 2
Q: What motivated the shift from Sadhana to Hindus for Human Rights and its evolution into a more strident political platform?
The rise of Hindutva in India and the need for a public-facing, rights-based Hindu advocacy in the diaspora prompted expanding beyond gentle, grassroots education to a more explicit political action arm, Hindus for Human Rights Action, to counter discrimination and defend democratic values.
Fighting the Growing Tide of Hindutva in the US: Sunita Viswanath on VIGILANT Episode 2
Q: How did Sunita Viswanath's early life in India and the experiences in England shape her approach to human rights activism?
Her childhood experiences with caste, openness to diverse friendships, and exposure to racism formed a deep commitment to anti-caste work and universal dignity. These formative memories drive her belief that God is in everyone and that activism must address both local grassroots realities and global injustices.
