18:29Now PlayingHindu advocates in the United States are urging temples to bolster security following a spate of vandalism incidents in California, suspected to be the work of Sikh separatist militants advocating for Khalistan, a movement seeking a sovereign Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Three Hindu temples in the San Francisco Bay Area were vandalized, including one defaced with phrases like “Modi is a terrorist” and “Khalistan Zindabad.” Sunil Khanna, President of the Shiv Durga Temple’s board, captured the community's dismay, saying, “The main thing that hurt all of us was how they misbehaved with the gods.” These attacks underscore the rise in anti-Hindu hate crimes in the U.S., coinciding with sustained pro-Khalistan sentiment among Sikh diaspora in the U.S., U.K., and Canada, despite the movement's decline in India. The Hindu American Foundation is responding by providing temples with resources to prevent vandalism and encouraging the reporting of hate crimes. Ramya Ramakrishnan of the foundation stressed the importance of community awareness and solidarity, stating, “We really want our Hindu community to be aware that this is happening in your backyard. Not to be afraid, but to face this. We need to be united as a community.”
