Peter Navarro’s Remarks Spark Fears of Rising Anti-Hindu Sentiment Amid On-going Temple Vandalism

Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro invoked caste stereotypes and Hindu imagery in trade rhetoric, sparking fears of rising anti-Hindu sentiment.

His comments come amid steep U.S. tariffs on India, straining $190–212 billion in annual trade.

At least eight Hindu temples have been vandalized since 2024, many linked to Khalistani extremists.

Hindu-American-owned jewelry stores face a wave of organized smash-and-grab robberies in California and beyond.

Hindu-Americans warn Navarro’s rhetoric and hate crimes echo anti-Semitic patterns, demanding accountability, protection, and unity.
