The RHC took a popular slogan from Indian Prime Minister Modi’s campaign, “Ab ki Baar Modi Sarkar,” and made a commercial featuring Trump saying, “Ab ki BaarTrump Sarkar,
African-Americans are regularly described as “thugs” and their crimes are listed in news articles serving as their obituaries. Hispanic people are often called “lazy” and “rapists,” often by the same people complaining about them stealing jobs from white Americans.

In the past week alone, Jewish schools and community centers in eleven states have received bomb threats, and headstones in a Jewish cemetery were overturned. Teachers in American schools have reported that their minority students are being increasingly verbally and physically abused by white students, some as young as seven or eight years old.
Republican Hindu Coalition
Unfortunately, Muslims are also being attacked by other people of color in the U.S. The Indian Hindu community in the U.S. formed the Republican Hindu Coalition (RHC) as their main political platform, ignoring their fellow Indians who belong to other religions–like Indian Muslims.
RHC leader, billionaire Shalibh Kumar, ran an effective campaign for Trump in battleground states and generated big donations to make Trump’s victory possible.
