(COLUMBUS, OHIO 6/23/2022) – On Saturday, June 25, the Ohio Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) will host a rally against growing Islamophobia in the U.S. in the form of the Hindutva movement.
The rally will take place at 11 a.m. at Goodale Park in Columbus (120 W Goodale St., Columbus, OH 43215).
What is Hindutva?
Hindutva is an ideology that espouses the supremacy of Hinduism and seeks to build a pure nation of Hindus in India. While this is a fascist ideology that has been present for many years, most recently, two Muslim men were brutally murdered by police during protests and there has been an uptick in illegal arrests and bulldozing of Muslim homes. This Islamophobic movement has also been growing in the U.S. over the past decade.
