Anuraag’s speech at the Anti-Caste Bill Rally powerfully highlighted the urgent need for equality, dignity, and justice beyond caste barriers. Hindus for Human Rights stands in support of voices challenging discrimination and promoting a society rooted in fairness and human rights.

Manusmriti Dahan Divas marks a powerful moment in India’s struggle for equality. On 25 December 1927, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar led the public burning of the Manusmriti in Mahad. This act was deeply symbolic—not an attack on a book alone, but a rejection of ideas that justified caste hierarchy, denied dignity, and restricted women’s freedoms. Ambedkar exposed how injustice survives when inequality is protected as “tradition.”

In 2025, Manusmriti Dahan Divas remains a call to action. Caste and gender oppression still shape lives and institutions. Remembering this day means challenging normalized inequality and standing for a society rooted in justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Hindus for Human Rights congratulates Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and wishes his administration—and all New Yorkers—every success. We value our past collaboration with him in advancing human rights, countering Hindutva ideology, and promoting anti-caste protections. His inclusive vision of dignity, pluralism, and equality reflects the best of our shared values. As a South Asian leader whose story embodies representation and resilience, his election brings hope for all.
