  • "I wanted to share what brought on my tears on Sunday was not only the fact that so many people can't seem to face the hard truths and that is the barrier to the progress needed to start decolonizing, but also the realization that YOU, in particular, are carrying this burden in a significant way. All the things that make you who you are, are so essential in giving hope for a just and free future (through decolonization) for us all. That is HUGE."

  • "This course has changed how I operate in the world by giving me a clearer sense of imperialist behaviors and manipulations, this allows me to identify them and call them out. It has definitely changed my political outlook."

  • "This is undeniable truth. I'm just as guilty as other leftists who care deeply about Indigenous people here but never gave two thoughts to Hindu issues. Pure 100% ignorance, and with my basic values if I'd known this ten, twenty years ago, it would have made just as much sense, but the knowledge just wasn't there."

  • "It's painful but it's really good. But it's also a shocking experience. Like having been in very cold water with no footing for a very long time and suddenly finding oneself on solid land. It's a kind of whole-body shock I'm feeling with so many of my colleagues in these dangerous situations that it's hard to get clarity on until one learns a lot more about Hinduphobia. Learning about Hinduphobia points so clearly to where the violence is really coming from[...}"

  • "It explains a lot about what has been going on in the world and it has made my conversations with other people richer in that I have a better understanding of their indigeneity."

  • "I think the most profoundly meaningful thing for me is I feel I was given the whole, objective scope and every bit of information gave me a better understanding of how harm is caused."

  • "It has gotten me to think more critically about the experiences of Hindus and why it feels important to me to preserve my indigenous roots."

  • "Hippie subject intersections like tree hugging were popularized in a way that looks conspicuously intentional in hiding and erasing Indigenous Hindus' deep sacred regard for living beings, for trees, for animals, for the earth. Indigenous Hindus have been dying to protect the Earth and we don't ever hear about this in the west. That's shocking and illuminating."

    — Community member

  • "I learned that Hindus actually value life and have no issues with giving up comforts on a mass scale to ensure another animal's babies can be born. If we USAmericans were even half as dedicated to preserving life and Mother Earth, it might make some difference to lessen the destruction."
