Hate messages against Indian immigrants surge on US social media

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It seems to be becoming a theme in the western world. Indians shouldn't be so shocked, they are not indiginous people so the locals will always turn at some point.

=======

The uptick in discrimination and bigotry can be tracked across social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X, often attached to the H-1B work-based visa.

H-1B visas allow for U.S. companies to employ foreign nationals who are often skilled in specific industries, such as tech. The majority of applicants for the H-1B come from India, with 71 percent of H-1B visa holders coming from India alone in 2024, according to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

During the 2024 election season, with two prominent women of South Asian background under the national spotlight, now-second lady Usha Vance and the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, faced public speculation regarding their identities.

Vance, who is the daughter of Indian immigrants, has faced online xenophobia while her husband has faced scrutiny for marrying her, the criticism rooted in white supremacist values.

The anti-Indian racism seen against politicians has impacted Indian and South Asian communities across the country.

According to the AAPI Equity Alliance's Stop AAPI Hate Report, more than 75 percent of anti-Asian slurs targeted South Asians between December 2024 and January 2025. Moonshot, a group that targets online terrorism, found more than 44,000 slurs targeting South Asians in extremist online spaces during May and June of this year.

Excellent news.

Let the social media spotlight focus on real threats to humanity - Zionism and Hindutva!

 

[Suleiman]

Time to give Zelensky a call, he’ll know what to do!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Yes.

Indians themselves are to be blamed. A large percentage of them are uncivilized on social media (including many on PP forum).

Sure. Islamists are a great boon to humanity and best people. They never get involved in riots, conversions, bombings and hate crimes in Western world. Only Hindutva and Zionism does that.

Preach the truth about uncivilized Indians to your brothers who risk their lives to illegally enter India and work there for a few rupees.

Behind the West’s rising dislike of Indian migrants

An ethnically assertive and prosperous community — very aware of and very vocal about the rise of the country of its roots — has invited native wrath

www.hindustantimes.com

The setting up of new temples across the US, particularly the BAPS Swaminarayan temple in New Jersey (the largest Hindu temple outside Asia), and a slew of organisations aimed at drumming up support from wealthy Indians in the US for political gains back home, added to all of this.


This snowballed as the number of Indian migrants grew — between 2010 and 2020, Indians became the second-largest migrant community in the US after the Mexicans. This trend of migration was reflected across the world, with the World Migration Report 2024 noting that Indians were the largest migrant group in 2022; Pakistanis and Bangladeshis formed much smaller migrant wholes.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

@Rajdeep

How is building the biggest Hindu temple in New Jersey integrating with the local culture? Isn't this the same sort of behaviour you have criticised Muslims for when they build mosques in the UK?

Behind the West’s rising dislike of Indian migrants

www.hindustantimes.com

Official figures show 334 of 426 people arrested in 22 European Union (EU) countries for terrorism-related offences were linked to jihadist terrorism. Rabid Islamist preachers such as the UK’s Anjem Choudary have functioned with impunity. Choudary continued his radicalisation lectures across North America despite the banning of his group, Al Mujahiroun. A question was raised in the European Parliament about the two million euros of foreign funding received by the Örebro Mosque in Sweden, where the preacher was found to be an ISIS recruiter. At the al-Muhsinin Mosque in Bonn, radical preachers encouraged the faithful to attend “al-Qaeda training camps”. Mosques, institutes, and study centres with links to the Muslim Brotherhood were also funded in France.

—-

While Islamophobia is tied to the threat of terror, anti-Indianism is not. What is apparent is the marked shift from the era when Indians were known to live quietly and unobtrusively to the one in which “nationalist”, “ethnically aware” Indians are being wooed by the political establishments in their adopted countries, for the influence they are perceived to hold in their communities

Well the anti-Indian sentiment is a big topic for Indians at the moment, so it merits discussion. The Islamophobia sentiment has been chugging along in the background for at least a couple of decades so not as noticeable.

The cult are only to blame for the rise of Indophobia.

Canada, Amreeka, UK, Germany, France - to name but a few - are going nutz over the influx of the cult.

As for the cult crying over the $100K H1B visa fee, we know which side their bread is buttered on, and its not on the Indian side.

Modi's India thought trying to infiltrate the world before building their own country was a good idea, well, it sent them back 1000 of years.

10 more years of Modi please.

When people here hate Indians, it includes all subcontinent people. Basically brown people. They label anyone that looks brown and Indian as Indian. They cannot tell an Indian apart from Srilankans, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and majority Nepalese. We all look the same to them. So anyone saying Indians deserve it are also saying their own country men deserve it too.

Just like every East Asian is either a Chinese or Japanese, every South Asia is an Indian.

What made you come out and defend Hindutva and Zionism by attacking Islam? You being atheist should have ignored this post. Do you also critisize Hindutva and Zionism where you see 'Islamists' are critisized? PS! I am not talking about Indians now.

Agreed bro.

I used to say same thing to you guys when many of you would gleefully talk about the hate Muslims were getting, as if Indians were exempt.

Minority groups should align and confront racism head on. Not trying to through each other under the bus. As a Pakistani origin man I will try my utmost to defend any Indian from racism, even though it's likely he wouldn't have xtend the same to me.

I had to educate people over here who seems to confuse Hindutva with Hinduism or a religion in general.

I always criticized the Oct 7 attack by Hamas. When they cannot defend their citizens, they should not attack a regional super power. While Hamas is still hiding and running, it was the poor citizens facing the guns and bombs everyday. My criticism is always towards Hamas who are a Terrorist organization. Not people of Gaza.

Hamas is an Islamist and Terrorist organization. They do not want peace. If they cared about peace and the life of Gazans, they would have dropped weapons by now, returned all the hostages and sat down for peace talks long time ago. They thought that the entire Muslim world will join forces against Israel. No Muslim country came to their aid other than blowing hot air from hundreds and thousands of miles away. Funny they want the Western world who are in bed with Israel to take action against Israel while they do not demand any such thing from their own nations. No protests in Riyadh, Dubai, Qatar, Dhaka and Ankara demanding their governments to join forces against Israel. Totally confused people.

But Indians have been on here for years telling us how Muslims fail to integrate, unlike the sooper successful Indians. One of your most prominent spokesmen @Rajdeep has proudly attended the anti-immigrant rallies on this basis. You need to save your hand wringing for his type. You yourself in fact have been one of the biggest critics of Muslims for failing to integrate, so what are you worried about anyway?

You can nod your head and explain in your thick Indian accent that you are actually just like the white sahib. See how far that gets you.

I do not support it. I am always in favor of 2 state solution. Hamas has not dropped the weapons. The war is still on.

I would take the P-word in droves than be considered a member of the cult.

How Anti-India Hate went mainstream - offline and online | World News - The Times of India

US News: This article explores the increasing anti-Indian sentiment in the United States, analyzing historical contexts, cultural dynamics, and the visible backlash against Indian immigrants and their contributions to American society.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

We have seen the rise of anti-Indian sentiment across former British colonies in Australia and Canada. It looks like it is spreading to the USA at a viral pace as well with many leading Indian figures including Vivek Ramaswamy and Dinesh D'Souza, two fervent MAGA activists coming under attack.

So what has caused this, and will it spread back to the motherland, Great Britain?

What can Indians do to head this off before it reaches critical mass?

How is the P word racist per se. I understand the P word is used somewhat in a negative way but it's just the short form..it's not like Pajeet or Poopjeet...though personally I like them both....

Honestly nothing....stay in India build our country...it will be great for India actually...indians move abroad for money...once the cream of India is forced to come back or stay back...our talent shortage at the highest level in non IT and non service critical areas will go up..these people used to Western infrastructure will innovate and try to solve the major challenges facing India. Pollution population poverty

 

[sweep_shot]

People are turning on Indian immigrants for these reasons:

1) Many of them are low-IQ unpleasant sanghis.
2) They are coming in big numbers. They are changing the demographics of different countries. A significant percentage of Indians are also illegals (visa overstay, fraudulent papers etc.).
3) They often engage in unethical (and even illegal activities). For example, when they become managers, they only hire Indians and do not hire non-Indians.
4) They are often obnoxious and petty.
5) They tend to be self-centered and think world revolves around them and India.

Previous generations of Indians were pleasant, hardworking, and easygoing. Modern day Indians are often rowdy and obnoxious. That's the difference.

How is he an atheist ? Have you ever seen him defend Islam by being neutral ? where as whenever you speak against Hinduism he jumps in and tries to defend. He claims to be atheist so that he can run away and not answer when you ask questions on hinduism which he knows he cannot answer. This is common ploy Hindus use online.

The truth is, none of this backlash appeared randomly. For decades, Indians living abroad had no problems as long as they focused on their careers and stayed out of political theatrics. Nobody interfered with them.

The shift happened when a segment of the community decided to export the same disruptive behavior that people back home are forced to tolerate, late night Garba in residential neighborhoods, illegal fireworks launched into other people’s property during Diwali, and a loud political superiority complex that collapses the moment it faces real scrutiny.

And the newest arrivals are the clearest example.

They show up with the belief that they are somehow above the rest of the world. That illusion works inside India because everyone participates in the same echo chamber. But the moment they land in the West, that bubble bursts.

You can’t walk around acting superior while carrying the same heavy accent and expecting everyone to play along with the fantasy.

It’s actually better when immigrants make an effort to assimilate into the culture they move into. And for a long time, Indians did exactly that, they assimilated better than most other immigrant groups. It’s only in recent years that this pattern has shifted.

The roots of MAGA unrest are not that different to Tommy Robinson and his ilk whom Indians in the UK embraced. The Indians in America tried to do the same in the USA by backing MAGA but it feeds off the emotion of whites who identify as Christian, and they essentially don't want to see Indians come in with their diwali celebrations and "other" religion. That is why even though they kissed up to them, they are still getting called out as aliens by the dominant white majority.

Indians who write like that generally live in India or recently migrated. They don't have a clue about anything western. LOL. They read some stuff online and give their opinions based on that.

At my last job, there were two nasty Indian ladies. They were always nitpicking and being petty for no good reason. I had to change the job because they made things very toxic.

I thankfully don't have to deal with many Indians in my current job. My team has no Indian. The workplace mostly has Chinese and Iranians.

Anyway, I am not saying all Indians are bad. I have had some cool Indian coworkers in the past. But, my last job had two really nasty Indians and I had to change my job.

Hardly feel anything on the ground. Lived here for many years now, although mainly in blue and swing states. People have been only respectful to me and my family, my culture, my choices.

2) They are coming in big numbers. They are changing the demographics of different countries. A significant percentage of Indians are also illegals (visa overstay, fraudulent papers etc.).
3) They often engage in unethical (and even illegal activities). For example, when they become managers, they only hire Indians and do not hire non-Indians.
4) They are often obnoxious and petty.
5) They tend to be self-centered and think world revolves around them and India.

Previous generations of Indians were pleasant, hardworking, and easygoing. Modern day Indians are often rowdy and obnoxious. That's the difference.

Only true in Canada...not in USA. Canada harbors Khalistanis .their fault.

Putting all White Americans as one group is silly and ill informed.
I have seen protests against Trump by white folks across US states… esp the Liberal ones.

Agree, but this holds true for white views on Muslims, grooming gangs also I guess. But we can still observe the themes which emerge and try to understand why it is happening.

True. Either this guy is rage baiting or has no clue what he’s talking about.

OP likes to go fishing regularly for indian bites.

Hardly feel anything on the ground. Lived here for many years now, although mainly in blue and swing states. People have been only respectful to me and my family, my culture, my choices.

E.g. I don’t drink or smoke and my colleagues and friends here in the US totally respect my choice. Ironically that wasn’t the case back in India where several of my friends and colleagues would openly mock me for choosing not to drink. I can give more examples.

I am glad you feel safe. Sometimes we can confuse social media with real life. If we didn't look at X or Facebook we would all have a more positive outlook.

I am based in the UK and the last few months have been the worst I have felt, it makes me genuinely nervous sometimes. But I also meet kind and decent people, which gives some positivity for the future too.

These racist movements are very fluid and fickle. They can move quickly from Muslims, to just Pakistanis, to Indians to blacks. It is quite sad that when some people are not the victim they take the side of the racists. Indians did this when Muslims felt the heat, now some Pakistani Muslims are doing it when Hindus felt the heat.

A few weeks ago, we had the rape of sikh women by racists in the Midlands of the UK, so the actual perpetrators don't really care who they go after.

I actually opened a seperate thread for the topic as it was based around an article from The Times of India, but this got merged into the one about social media.

How Anti-India Hate went mainstream - offline and online | World News - The Times of India

US News: This article explores the increasing anti-Indian sentiment in the United States, analyzing historical contexts, cultural dynamics, and the visible backlash against Indian immigrants and their contributions to American society.

I didn't write these articles or make these videos. India hate in the western world is something of a hot topic now.

That’s why I welcomed the location feature in twitter, this will expose everyone, should be done on social media as a mandatory step.

Twitter is just a small sample. You can easily see how many Pakistani handles pretending to be Indians, are trying to sow differences in India. Imagine the scale of Instagram. All of this is going on unabated there to a much larger audience. And they somehow make a political party believe their issues are getting wide support, only to be shocked on the result day.

But the differences sown, will lead to many educated guys getting radicalised. The govt needs to wake up.

There are many such accounts.

Indians posting as Israelis or Western.
Pakistanis posting as American and Turks
Bangladeshis posting as other nationalities.
There is a pro US Malaysian guy called Ian Miles Cheong who has never set foot in US but posts from UAE about decline of America and immigration to the west.

Most of the stuff on X is fake news but it has an effect on people who are unable to see what is going on infront of them.

There was an article in the British media that one Sri Lankan guy has made hundreds of thousands of pounds making fake pages with fake news because he could attract clicks from British pensioners.

Sri Lankan influencer behind fake news Islamophobic Facebook pages

Geeth Sooriyapura claims to have made £230,000 running Facebook pages posting anti-migrant and Islamophobic disinformation about Britain.

Many of these voices amplify fake news that have real world repurcussions. I want them caught and jailed if possible, dont care if they are Pakistanis behind some of them, they should be punished severely too.

They will just say that they are posting from behind VPN to protect themselves from attacks by governments.

And people will lap it up.

The safest thing is to step away from social media, but it is hard to do.

Social media can be entertaining too, I love youtube not the rage videos that Final bhai posts but the cognitive enhancements, tutorials etc..

Issue is political and religious stuff that really goes out of the way, I wish engagement to social media was more organic than baited

As long as one side is indulging, then the other side is going to respond in kind. But we can't just dismiss everything as rage bait either. Who is getting enraged? Why?

Do we really believe that JD Vance was a Pakistani wearing a latex mask when he was making the speech about his Hindu wife converting to Christianity?

Cap .. Latinos in Florida did a hate crime against Muslim students in Florida.. you are confusing xenophobia for a specific dislike..

I was talking about Indians getting triggered on here now it's their turn to face some flak. We don't get Latinos on here so I can't really speak to that.

he was speaking to people that yes did exist before, but have probably been whipped up into a frenzy by online noise too.

Marjorie Taylor Greene who was an Islamophobe on X and now elected in the US ( she has split up from Trump and MAGA now though) describes it well. She posts about Shariah and criticisms about Muslims but qhen queried about it mentions that her constituents have never come up and asked her anything to do with Shariah

https://twitter.com/x/status/1986849402065957225

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says online Islamophobia seems to come mostly from paid campaigns on X, highlighting a company called ‘Influensible,’ owned by Brad Parscale—former Trump campaign manager and registered foreign agent for Israel—that she believes runs thousands of coordinated accounts spreading hate. Greene said she suspects these networks are also responsible for targeting her posts but admitted she can’t prove it since laws don’t require disclosure of who funds such Twitter/X accounts. She urged Elon Musk to label such accounts and said voters in her district care more about rent, healthcare, and family—not “Sharia Law.”

I'd imagine this is similar for many places in the west and Indians probably are facing similar things of people getting whipped up by random videos.

Lol , I have highlighted dot busters here, there was hate against Hindus in Us way before hate against Muslims was even a thing.. the 1990s New Jersey hate crimes against Hindu women are documented

We also do not have many Latinos here in Canada.

I am glad because Latinos are often involved in drug dealing and other crimes.

Best immigrants are probably the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese.

 

[RexRex]

It’s actually better when immigrants make an effort to assimilate into the culture they move into. And for a long time, Indians did exactly that, they assimilated better than most other immigrant groups. It’s only in recent years that this pattern has shifted.

^ There's a lot of truth in this.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Maybe folk think the Christians putting Hindus in their place in the US in this video are also Pakistanis and Bangladeshis wearing latex masks?
