Abstract — Recent decades have seen an increase in awareness among Hindus about discrimination against the community around the world. This has led to some denying that there is anything like Hinduphobia and arguing that this is another example of Hindus seeking to deflect criticism about discrimination against other religious minorities and Dalits. This paper reviews academic research and incident reports and seeks to answer the question, “How real is Hinduphobia in the twenty-first century?” It provides a comprehensive overview of how anti-Hindu views are expressed in academic writing, laws, government policies, media, and popular culture depictions. Using the concept of “invalidation” (Kallen, 1998) that was developed to study hatred against racial, ethnocultural, religious, and same-sex-oriented minorities, this essay demonstrates that Hinduphobia is widely prevalent in contemporary societies around the world, and such anti-Hindu actions and words violate Hindus’ right to dignity and equality.
