Understanding Hinduphobia and Hindu Yuva UT Dallas will host Understanding Hinduphobia 2025: Hinduphobia Through Erasure, a virtual conference on Feb. 23 to examine how the erasure of Hindu philosophy, civilizational contributions, and historical and contemporary persecution contributes to bias, hatred, and fear.
The conference invites participation from the broader American community, particularly those in public institutions such as schools, colleges, and government. Organizers state that the event will explore how erasure is justified and enacted and its broader impact on Hindus and society.
Topics covered in the conference include Hindu sacred land, yoga, psychology, Bangladesh Hindus, Ram Janmabhoomi, and Hindu American public service. The event will also feature perspectives from Jewish, Taino, and Kurdish Alevist allies.
"Hindu history, contributions & struggles are erased—both past & present. Erasure is systemic & justified by institutions that shape our world," Understanding Hinduphobia stated in a post on Twitter.
Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) will also participate in the conference. The organisation wrote on X: “We are excited to be a part of UH2025, with team CoHNA speaking on “Celebrating Hindus out of existence”.”

The conference is in community partnership with the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. The Center, which focuses on Holocaust education and social justice, describes its mission as fostering intergroup dialogue and combating prejudice. Organizers said that this partnership reflects a commitment to addressing intersecting biases, including antisemitism and Hinduphobia.
The conference will run from Feb.23 at 8:30 p.m. to Feb.24 at 5:30 a.m. GMT+5:30.
