After Rashmi Samant came forward to boldly narrate her ordeal at Oxford University, the usual suspects are out to discredit her by stating that her book propagates a false narrative.

Discrediting Rashmi

An article published in Edex Live quoting Anvee Bhutani accuses Rashmi Samant of propagating a false narrative. Former President of the Oxford University Student Union, Anvee Bhutani, has criticized Rashmi Samant’s new book, “A Hindu in Oxford,” saying it tells a false story. Bhutani, who took over after Samant’s resignation, explained on Twitter that while racism exists at Oxford, Samant wasn’t bullied due to her race, religion, or nationality.

The article asserts that there were controversies surrounding Samant’s social media posts and she was accused of racism for using insensitive language in captions for photos, like using the term ‘Ching Chang’ and making a thoughtless comment about the Holocaust memorial. It further notes that the university clarified that her removal was not because of her religion or race.

Samant’s tweet about her book has gained a lot of attention with the Leftist-Islamist-Congress-Pakistani cabal denying Hinduphobia in Oxford and up in arms against Rashmi. Anvee Bhutani, who claimed to be a ‘Hindu’ president after Rashmi currently works with the BBC. Bhutani’s denial of Hinduphobia in Oxford is suspect especially when she admits racism exists in Oxford. BBC is known for its anti-Hindu and anti-Bharat reporting.

Furthermore, Onyeka Nwelue, who is an Academic visitor at Oxford and Visiting Scholar at Cambridge, accused Bhutani of hating and belittling Africans. “Not only does Anvee hate Africans, she belittles them. Having lived in India myself, I have had to face racism, but I no longer see it as anything huge. Her use of the word, ‘black’ is derogatory. She is always looking for ways to ‘destroy’ Africans. So, she started with me”, he tweeted.

“I really hope your fake goddamn victimhood gets you somewhere! Somewhere far far away from here! Oxford didn’t think they needed you, we don’t either. Yuck!”, tweeted Karnataka Congress leader Aishwarya Mahadev. There were others from the cabal including Pakistani Twitteratis, caste baiters, and anti-Bharat propaganda peddler Arif Ayyub

Rashmi Samant, responding to criticism and efforts to discredit her concerns about Hinduphobia at Oxford University, tweeted that the way events are portrayed depends on those who control the information and know how to manipulate systems to shape narratives that hide real wrongdoings. If negative information is highlighted enough, it can be removed.

She highlighted that certain student groups at Oxford, like the Oxford India Society, Oxford Hindu Society, and Oxford South Asian Societies, were led by individuals with biases against Hindus, such as Abhijit Sarkar. Rashmi pointed out that these groups received a lot of attention from the media and established systems, similar to favoured individuals in India. She noted that two of these societies were not even officially recognized by the University in 2021 when the initial statement was made. Rashmi compared this to the idea that anyone could claim to be part of an Oxford club and issue statements.

Rashmi emphasized that previous attempts to silence her did not deter her from speaking out against bullies, including faculty members who challenged her Hindu identity. She stated that these forces cannot silence her now.

Back then, HinduPost had highlighted that the typical of organizations in denial, the said societies have chosen to blame the victim and as is clear from their statement are aiming to build a narrative of the victim being the aggressor. It does not come as a surprise considering the fact that these societies are merely a front for the left-liberal cabal. It must be pointed out here that these societies had expressed solidarity with the ongoing farmer protests run by break-Bharat forces.

It was a clear attempt to white-wash the abuse faced by Rashmi and at the same time deny Hinduphobia which is very much a reality. Hindus are often subject to the worst form of racial slurs particularly by Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the West.

Rashmi Samant’s new book reveals the racism and Hinduphobia she faced in Oxford

Rashmi Samant, who became the first Indian female president of the Oxford University Student Union in February 2021, recently announced her book on Twitter. The book, titled “A Hindu in Oxford,” recounts her experiences after being elected and then resigning following allegations of making offensive comments.

Samant’s book discusses the difficult time she faced, including bullying, harassment, and threats, after becoming the president. She mentioned that there were claims that Oxford students weren’t ready for a Hindu president, which influenced her decision to step down.

There is enough evidence on record to suggest that Rashmi was indeed made to step down due to her Hindu identity. Her statements and comments were taken out of context to vilify her and force her to step down from the Presidentship. It must be highlighted that an internal investigation conducted by Oxford University vindicated her and confirmed that she was indeed a victim of bullying and vilification.
