The Same People Who Hate Jews Are Attacking Hindus | Nupur Sharma

from רוח מערבית - The Western Spirit · host Ariel Whitman

In this episode of The Western Spirit, journalist Nupur Sharma explains why Jews and Hindus are targeted by the same ideological forces — and why the hatred directed at both communities follows the same patterns across the world.Sharma is the Editor-in-Chief of OpIndia, one of India’s largest digital news platforms, and the founder and project director of the Hinduphobia Tracker, which documents religiously motivated hate crimes against Hindus.She argues that the attacks on Jews and the attacks on Hindus are not separate phenomena, but part of a broader ideological movement that exploits victimhood narratives, weaponizes media, and normalizes religious hatred.We discuss:• Why Jews and Hindus face the same forms of hatred• How religious extremism and ideological activism intersect• The global normalization of anti-Jewish and anti-Hindu sentiment• Media silence and selective outrage• Why historical persecution of Hindus is ignored• What connects antisemitism and HinduphobiaThis is a conversation about identity, ideology, and why ancient hatreds are being repackaged as modern activism.📌 Watch, share, and join the conversation to uncover what’s really at stake.📌 Support the channel by buying me coffee! ☕️ https://buymeacoffee.com/westernspirit📌 For business inquiries, including advertising opportunities on our show, please email us at: [email protected]📌 I wish to thank the Ayn Rand Institute in Israel for sponsoring this episode and helping us spread the word!
