Re Lived Hindu Religion course 

Dear President Khator AND Provost Chase

I strongly object to UH professor's denigrating Hinduism and politicizing my religion in the classroom. I am outraged by the propagandized Hinduphobia at UH through its distorted courses on Hinduism. This course amounts to Academic fraud under the guise of Academic Freedom. 

I urge you to invite authentic Hindu scholars/authors Dr Rajiv Malhotra, Dr Kalyan Viswanathan and Dr Kundan Singh (all copied) to evaluate the course. Hinduism must be safeguarded in the classroom. 

Thank you.
