A Landmark Victory for Hindu Canadians - Recognition of HinduPhobia (Anti-Hindu Hate) in Mississauga: Motion Passed

In a powerful and historic move, @citymississauga  has unanimously passed a motion to formally recognize Anti-Hindu Hate within the city. This marks a significant step forward in acknowledging the lived experiences of Hindu Canadians and affirming our right to safety, dignity, and cultural respect. We extend our deepest gratitude to @DipikaDamerla  for her courageous leadership and unwavering commitment to truth.

Her voice has consistently illuminated the painful realities faced by our community. We also thank Councillor @JoeHorneck  for seconding the motion and standing in solidarity with Hindu Canadians. The Hindu Canadian Foundation wholeheartedly welcomes this motion. It is not just a policy decision. it is a moral stance, a public affirmation that hate against Hindus will not be ignored or minimized. We applaud every Hindu Canadian who spoke up, shared their stories, and demanded justice. Your voices mattered. Your courage moved hearts. Your presence changed history. We remain committed to advocating for Hindu rights across Canada.

This victory in Mississauga strengthens our resolve to push for similar recognition and action in cities and provinces nationwide. Hate must be named to be dismantled and today, Mississauga has taken that bold first step. We are proud and profoundly grateful to @citymississauga , every council member, and staff who supported this motion with conviction and compassion. Your overwhelming support sends a clear message: Hindu Canadians belong, and our concerns will be heard. Motion passed unanimously: 9 votes in favour. Let this be the beginning of a broader movement, toward justice, awareness, and unity.
