The world is indifferent to rising Hinduphobia

The West, often seen asa bastion of tolerance, is not immune to Hinduphobia.
-
VAs the world observes International Human Rights Day, a solemn question confronts us: why do the rights of Hindus continue to be sidelined in the global human rights discourse? The principles of equality, dignity, and justice that underpin this day are undermined when an entire community faces systemic hate and targeted violence, yet their plight remains largely unacknowledged.
Hinduphobia, a deep-seated prejudice against Hindus and their cultural practices, has been on the rise, manifesting in violent attacks, institutional discrimination, and cultural erasure across the globe. Why is this growing threat met with silence, even as incidents span continents and demographics? Can we genuinely champion human rights while excluding an entire community's struggles from our collective conscience?
A GLOBAL PHENOMENON
Hinduphobia is neither new nor geographically limited.
It stretches across borders, from the Indian subcontinent to the Americas, Europe, and Australia. In South Asia, where Hindus have historically coexisted with other communities, their safety is increasingly precarious. Hindus, once constituting nearly a quarter of the population in Bangladesh, have dwindled to less than 8%. The alarming decline is not coincidental; it reflects decades of systemic violence and cultural repression. Recent weeks have seen hundreds of attacks on Hindu temples, homes, and businesses. The arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a monk advocating for minority rights, on questionable charges is emblematic of how institutions perpetuate this bias. Similarly, in Pakistan, Hindus face forced conversions, the abduction of young girls, and the desecration of their temples, highlighting an unchecked pattern of persecution.
However, for the Left-Woke ecosystem, there isn't even a bleating like a lamb, despite their inability to hold back screams over Sambhal.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS
Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
