  • Hindus in South Asia & the Diaspora: a Survey of Human Rights 2007
    Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2007 www.HAFsite.org May 19, 2008 “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, Article 1) “Religious persecution may shield itself under the guise of a mistaken and over-zealous piety” (Edmund Burke, February 17, 1788) Endorsements of the Hindu American Foundation's 3rd Annual Report “Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2006” I would like to commend the Hindu American Foundation for publishing this critical report, which demonstrates how much work must be done in combating human rights violations against Hindus worldwide. By bringing these abuses into the light of day, the Hindu American Foundation is leading the fight for international policies that promote tolerance and understanding of Hindu beliefs and bring an end to religious persecution. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Freedom of religion and expression are two of the most fundamental human rights. As the founder and former co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India, I commend the important work that the Hindu American Foundation does to help end the campaign of violence against Hindus in South Asia. The 2006 human rights report of the Hindu American Foundation is a valuable resource that helps to raise global awareness of these abuses while also identifying the key areas that need our attention. Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) Several years ago in testimony to Congress regarding Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia, I called for adding Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists to oppressed religious groups who are banned from practicing their religious and cultural rights in Saudi Arabia.

  • A Survey of Human Rights 2008
    HINDUS IN SOUTH ASIA AND THE DIASPORA: A Survey of Human Rights 2008 HINDU AMERICAN FOUNDATION Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2008 www.HAFsite.org March 13, 2009 “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, Article 1) “Religious persecution may shield itself under the guise of a mistaken and over-zealous piety” (Edmund Burke, February 17, 1788) Endorsements of Hindu American Foundation's 4th Annual Report “Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2007” All of us share common values: a respect for other people, their cultures and the beliefs that they hold. But as this report demonstrates, there are still too many instances where that respect is violated and people’s rights are horribly abused. The Hindu American Foundation has done a great service by bringing these human rights abuses to light. Working together, I believe we can deliver the basic freedoms every person is due. Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) I commend the Hindu American Foundation on its report, "Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2007." This report importantly documents the plight of persecuted Hindus throughout South Asia. As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, I have seen how the growth of radical Islam impacts the well-being of the Hindu population. Reports like this are important in documenting these human rights abuses. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) As the world increasingly becomes a global village, it is important to monitor, acknowledge and work towards promoting freedom of speech and conscience for all.

  • Ramleela in Trinidad, 2006–2008
    Trinity College Trinity College Digital Repository Faculty Scholarship Spring 2010 Performing in the Lap and at the Feet of God: Ramleela in Trinidad, 2006–2008 Milla C. Riggio Trinity College, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/facpub Part of the Theatre and Performance Studies Commons Performing in the Lap and at the Feet of God Ramleela in Trinidad, 2006–2008 Milla Cozart Riggio The performance was like a dialect, a branch of its original language, an abridgement of it, but not a distortion or even a reduction of its epic scale. Here in Trinidad I had discovered that one of the greatest epics of the world was seasonally performed, not with that desperate resignation of preserving a culture, but with an openness of belief that was as steady as the wind bending the cane lances of the Caroni plain. —Derek Walcott, Nobel Prize Lecture (1992) As a child living in Wagoner, Oklahoma, I was enlisted by my Baptist evangelist father both to play the piano for his monthly hymn singing fests and to “teach” Wednesday night Bible classes. “What,” I asked my father, “shall I tell these people? I don’t know anything about the Bible.” “Oh,” he responded, “neither do they. Just make it up, but always assure them that—as our good hymn says—they are all ‘sitting in the lap of God.’ That’s what they want to know.” So week after week, while I unwittingly practiced for my future vocation, some dozen or so Baptist parishioners were asked by a nine-year-old girl to sit together “in the lap of God.” Having no idea what that meant, I conjured up an image of a gray-bearded, department store Santa/God with all of us piling at once into his opulent lap.
