Attacks on Hindus and Hindu Dharma, both in Bharat and overseas, are frequent and unrelenting. In many regions of the world, this persecution is like a genocide slowly unfolding before our eyes. For decades, the world has ignored the actual depth and breadth of these attacks, driven by disturbing anti-Hindu bigotry. From murders, forced conversions, land grabs, assault on festivals, desecration of temples and murtis, hate speech, and sexual violence to institutionalised & legal discrimination, Hindus are facing an increasing assault on their very existence along with an unprecedented Hindu hatred.
In this weekly summary for the period from 28 June to 04 July 2026, we hope to provide a snapshot of such crimes and hopefully awaken more people around the world to this human rights crisis:
Bharat
1) The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Rules, 2011, were amended by a Gazette notification published by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. This is an important move for guarding the Dharmic land by finally shut the door on conversion money.
2) Mohammad Sohail, a resident of Gangoh in Uttar Pradesh’s (UP) Saharanpur district, who was allegedly plotting to target the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, has been arrested in Karnataka following a joint operation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
3) Uttar Pradesh Police successfully thwarted an attempted cow slaughter operation in the Sardhana area of Meerut district arresting three suspects following a brief exchange of fire and recovering approximately one quintal (100 kilograms) of beef along with a live bovine and slaughter equipment. The arrested accused have been identified as Monish, Dilshad, and Sartaj.
4) The National Human Rights Commission has formally intervened in a complaint filed by Hyderabad-based activist A.S. Santhosh, directing the Telangana government and the Union Home Ministry to examine allegations that HIV-affected orphan children linked to Agape Orphanage were publicly exposed on fundraising platforms and that wider child-protection and regulatory failures may have followed.
5) The Karnataka CET controversy — in which students were forced to remove their sacred Janeu (Yajnopaveetha) before entering examination halls — has reignited nationwide outrage over the targeting of Hindu religious symbols in public institutions. What was claimed as routine exam protocol quickly exposed a deeper pattern of institutional insensitivity and selective secularism. Sacred threads like the Janeu and Kalava are repeatedly treated as security threats rather than constitutionally protected expressions of faith. Far from a procedural matter, the issue raises serious questions about equality before the law, religious freedom, and personal dignity.
6) What began as a quiet organisational change towards the end of August 2025 has since unravelled into what many former employees are calling a targeted and systematic removal of Indian Hindu professionals from LyondellBasell’s (LYB) Enterprise Architecture division in Mumbai, India. LyondellBasell is one of the world’s largest plastics and chemicals companies, with its global headquarters in Houston, Texas.
Bangladesh
Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh are relentless and designed to cleanse the religious minority from the country gradually. According to a study by Prof. Abul Barakat of Dhaka University, no Hindus will be left in Bangladesh by 2050 due to systemic and institutionalized persecution. Temple desecration, land grabbing, mob attacks after false blasphemy charges, rape/forced conversion of women, and hate speech are tools used to intimidate and drive Hindus out.
1) An election held without the participation of the Awami League-Bangladesh’s largest secular party-made the BNP feel like the safest political bet for many belonging to religious minorities. However, a new controversy over the murti of Sri Ram, one of the most revered Hindu deities raises serious questions over the religious freedom guaranteed not only by the Constitution but also heavily propagated by those currently in political power in Bangladesh.
Most hate crimes are driven by anti-Hindu bigotry encoded in certain religious teachings and political ideologies. While the anti-Hindu hate in Islamic countries is evident, there is another subtler form of anti-Hindu sentiment within institutions and the public sphere of ostensibly secular states (like India) that provides an enabling environment for Hinduphobia and hate crimes. This subtle, everyday discrimination can be missed unless one studies prevailing laws and patterns. The gradual ban on firecrackers during Diwali is a good example – it might seem pollution-related on the surface. Still, the double standards at play become apparent when one looks at the larger picture of restrictions on Hindu festivals and the lack of sound reasoning behind the ban.
We request all readers to share other anti-Hindu hate crimes that we might have missed in this period in the comments below or by emailing hindupost.in@gmail.com. We also solicit support in maintaining the Hindu human rights tracker database.
