Opinion: Brampton Temple Attacks A Wake-Up Call For The Hindu CommunityBy Murli MenonIn recent weeks, the quiet suburban city of Brampton, located just outside of Toronto, Ontario, has become the epicenter of a disturbing series of attacks on Hindu temples. However, what’s happening in Brampton is a stark reminder that the fight for Hindu rights and security extends far beyond our shores. The Growing Threat to Hindu Temples in BramptonBrampton, home to one of the largest Hindu populations in Canada, has recently witnessed multiple attacks on its Hindu temples, with incidents ranging from graffiti, broken windows, and statues being vandalized, to larger-scale violent protests against Hindu religious gatherings. As the attacks in Brampton illustrate, the government’s inaction is allowing violent extremists to flourish, undermining the safety and security of Hindu Canadians. As the global Hindu community spreads across the Western world, we are increasingly witnessing a coordinated rise in anti-Hindu sentiment and attacks on Hindu places of worship.
