Donald Trump’s appointment of Sriram Krishnan as AI Policy Advisor sparked a storm of online vitriol, exposing a deeper undercurrent of prejudice against Indian-Americans and Hindu culture in the U.S. This video explores how history, politics, and propaganda have fueled this hostility for over a century. Join us as we trace the parallels between anti-Hindu sentiment and the struggles faced by other immigrant communities, from early 20th-century hate campaigns to today’s polarizing narratives. Professor Vamsee Juluri, a leading voice on media studies, sheds light on the growing challenges faced by Indian students, professionals, and families navigating American society. Discover how misinformation, discriminatory policies like California Senate Bill 403, and cultural stereotypes threaten to undermine a community that has played a vital role in America’s success story. Learn how Indian-Americans can counter these narratives, uphold their values, and chart a path forward.
