Conspiracy Against Hindus: The use of anti-Hindu hate speech on social media has increased rapidly. Even white supremacist memes and coded language have been used, which has the potential to spread violence. Researchers from Rutgers University of America gave this information. For this, the team of Network Contagion Lab at the university did a research. In this research, there were many shocking revelations about social media.

Analysis of social media platforms

The team from the Network Contagion Lab at the university prepared research titled 'Anti-Hindu Disinformation: A Case Study of Hinduphobia on Social Media'. In this, analysis was done about the Hindu community on many social media platforms. For this, the team used artificial intelligence on social media. The report describes how memes about white supremacist Hindus are being shared on Telegram and elsewhere within extremist Islamist web networks.

Large scale conspiracy against Hindus

It was found that in July, signals on Hinduphobic code words and memes reached a record high, which can incite real world violence, especially in the midst of rising religious tensions in India. Unfortunately, the bigotry and violence faced by the Hindu population is nothing new, said John J. Farmer Jr., director of both the Miller Center and the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.

Anti-Hindu orthodoxy being spread

According to the researchers, Iranian trolls spread anti-Hindu stereotypes to fuel partition as part of an influence campaign to accuse Hindus of committing genocide against minorities in India. Famed Sudhakar, student analyst, worked with high school students from the New Jersey Governors STEM Scholars Program to collect and analyze data and gauge dimensions of anti-Hindu propaganda.

"I appreciate the opportunity to bring awareness to this underrepresented topic," said Sudhakar, who graduated with a double major in computer science and economics and critical intelligence studies from Rutgers in May. The analysts follow a series of reports that the NCRI and Rutgers Centers have released since 2020 that examine the use of conspiracy theories and social media networks to incite widespread, real-world violence.
