Targeting Indians, Targeting Hindus: What’s Driving This Hostility in the US?

In this episode of Deshkaal, we take a closer look at a troubling trend emerging in the United States. Over the past two months, far-right extremist groups have stepped up a coordinated hate campaign targeting Indians—especially Hindus. Online threats warning that 2026 will be a “bad year”, calls for mass deportation, and repeated verbal abuse have created a growing sense of fear and uncertainty within the community. Even Hindu temples are being mentioned in these threats, raising serious concerns.

What’s driving this hostility? Why has the situation worsened so quickly? And what does it mean for Indians living in the US today and in the years ahead?

Senior journalist Mukesh Kumar breaks down the background, the signals behind this campaign, and the larger political and social context shaping these developments. This is a calm, fact-based discussion meant to help viewers understand what’s happening—and why it matters.
