Priority
Faith & Religious Freedom

Strong families, free to believe.

Strong families are the foundation of a strong nation, and every American deserves the freedom to practice their faith without fear. RHC defends both, and stands against Hinduphobia at home and the persecution of Hindus abroad.

In short

RHC upholds family as the foundation of a strong nation and defends religious freedom for all, including confronting Hinduphobia and anti-Hindu discrimination in America, answering the persecution of Hindus abroad, and honoring the Hindu-American community’s faith, culture, and contributions.

Where things stand

The challenge in front of us.

Families are under strain, and cultural forces too often work against them. At the same time Hindu Americans, among the most educated, entrepreneurial, and civically engaged communities in the country, face organized bias and misrepresentation at home, while Hindu minorities abroad face temple attacks, forced conversion, and violence that the world too often ignores.

  • Strong families remain the first and most durable source of a healthy society.
  • Hindu Americans face organized “Hinduphobia,” bias, and misrepresentation in parts of academia, media, and public institutions.
  • Hindu minorities in parts of South Asia face persecution, temple desecration, forced conversion, and communal violence.
  • Religious freedom and equal protection are founding American promises that must extend fully to Hindus and every faith.
Where RHC stands
Strong families make a strong, enduring nation, and government should support rather than undermine them. Religious freedom and equal protection are non-negotiable American promises. Hindu Americans deserve the same protection from bigotry as any other community, and the United States should be a clear voice against the persecution of Hindus anywhere in the world.
The RHC solution

What we’re fighting for.

  • Protect the family as the foundation of a healthy society.
  • Treat anti-Hindu bigotry (Hinduphobia) as the discrimination it is, and defend equal protection for Hindu Americans in schools, workplaces, and public life.
  • Confront organized misrepresentation of Hindus and Hinduism in academia, textbooks, and media.
  • Make the persecution of Hindus abroad a named priority of US religious-freedom and human-rights policy.
  • Honor the Hindu-American community’s heritage, contributions, and place in American life.
