Hinduphobia

Hinduphobia is a modern term for a far more ancient practice. Hindu Human Rights have traced historical roots in their articles for religious persecution of Hindus since Islamic and British colonialisms. The experiences of Hindus may have other terms to describe them. This list is an evolving document, set up to clarify the historical context for [...]
