Despicable act: India condemns vandalism at Hindu temple in California
India TodayThe BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in California's Chino Hill was defaced with anti-India graffiti, less than five months after a similar incident was reported at another Hindu temple in the US state. Meanwhile, the Hindu American Foundation shared images of the defacement on X and called on FBI chief Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the Chino Hills Police Department to "investigate this latest in a string of anti-Hindu hate crimes on our sacred spaces". Photo Credit: Hindu American Foundation On September 25, 2024, the BAPS Hindu temple in California's state capital Sacramento was desecrated with expletive-laden graffiti, saying "Hindus go back". Anti-Hindu hate crimes in California have become the second-most reported form of religious bias, a report by the California Civil Rights Department released in May last year said.
