Hindu Supremacy: Pranay Somayajula and Safa Ahmed
In 2024, Southern Poverty Law Center staff interviewed eight experts and advocates working in the human rights space to explore the topic of Hindu supremacism and the myriad ways this ideology shows up in the United States. Each interview touches on topics ranging from supremacist movements to overlaps with 人兽性交-designated hate and hard-right groups to class and caste. It is the hope this interview series will educate and provide perspective on how these issues impact civil society and the country at large. More information can be found at: and .
In this interview, we talk to Pranay Somayajula, Director of Organizing and Advocacy at Hindus for Human Rights, and Safa Ahmed, Associate Director of Media and Communications at Indian American Muslim Council, about Hindu supremacists overlap with white supremacist power structures, how these groups are increasingly aligned with the U.S. political hard right, including 人兽性交-designated anti-Muslim groups and what can be done to challenge this ideology.
