Hindu on Campus (HOC), a student-led grassroots organization, has launched the first website dedicated to documenting Hinduphobia on university campuses across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
The website compiles over 100 incidents of anti-Hindu and anti-India bias from the past four years, serving as a reference for Hindu organizations and advocacy efforts.

In a statement on X, Hindu on Campus announced, “We have launched the first website to document Hinduphobia on campuses. We've collated 100+ Anti-Hindu & Anti-India incidents from the last four years on [U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia] campuses, which Hindu organizations can use as a reference.”
Founded in March 2021, HOC works to amplify Gen Z Hindu voices, combat Hinduphobia, and advocate for the fair treatment of Hindu students in academic institutions. The organization has engaged in grassroots organizing, social media campaigns, and data-driven advocacy to address discrimination.
The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) welcomed the initiative, stating, “Wonderful to see this documentation of anti-Hindu incidents on college campuses by @hinduoncampus. We look forward to using this information in our conversations with important stakeholders.”
The launch of this website comes amid a broader context of rising concerns about anti-Hindu sentiments. A report by Rutgers University in July 2022 highlighted a sharp increase in hate speech directed toward the Hindu community across various social media platforms.
