Dem presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard never gives a straightforward reply about the rise of Hindu nationalism nor condemns Modi government’s persecution of religious minorities. Yet she is on record showering praise on Modi and had arranged to do some PR gigs for his cabinet. (see sources below) 

She is a member of an active transnational Hindu Parishad and her cult, Science of Identity Foundation- is a Hare Krishna offshoot. She understands what being a religious minority means- she is one in the US. 

This has not stopped her from spewing alt right Islamophobic talking points and signing a Bill which proposed additional restrictions on refugees from Syria and Iraq applying for entry to the United States, under the guise of “protecting the American people”.  She was slated to be part of the World Hindu Congress and only  turned down the invite after a major campaign by many progressive South Asian groups against this fascist meetup.  

She is selective about her social justice and the bias is showing.

TULSI GABBARD HAS SKELETONS IN HER CUPPARD! 

Her connection to Modi and RSS and their anti minority, Islamophobic, conservative ideology. Her association with these elements got so toxic that she backed out of World Hindu Congress due to public pressure. 

Her anti-gay activism history. Though she has aplogised -take it with a pinch of salt. 

She is not anti-war. Tulsi Gabbard “Is a Hawk in Dove’s Clothing”. 

What more, she got a favourable response from the Alt Right when she floated her candidacy publicly.
