38:31Now PlayingReligious extremism exists within almost all of the major ideologies on the planet, Hinduism is no different. The contemporary adaptions of the “Hindutva” political ideology have become increasingly nationalistic and militaristic. To address this, a number of academic institutions in the US have organized a conference to discuss the implications of Hindutva. The Dismantling Global Hindutva: Multidisciplinary Perspectives conference intends to discuss Hindutva within the frame of an “academic endeavor.” Since the announcement of this conference, organizers and others involved have been targeted and harassed by Hindutva supporters. In a Twitter post, Dr. Meena Kandasamay shared screenshots where harassers responded to personal photographs she shared of her children, throwing obscene language at the woman, with one going so far as to say her “son will face a painful death.” Organizers have faced threats of death, sexual violence, and violence against their families. The universities involved were also bombarded with hate mail from Hindutva spammers, who called the conference “Hinduphobic.” Nonetheless, the conference organizers claim that support has grown, and the conference will go forward.
