The Press Release reflects their opinions and not necessarily those of HPI.) The Hindu Conference of Canada and Speaker&#8217;s Action Group are holding a free joint event in North York on February 5th, &#8220;Hinduphobia and Anti-Semitism,&#8221; featuring Rabbi Roy Tannenbaum and Dr Ramesh Rao as expert speakers on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>The Press Release reads, &#8220;European fascism was born in universities and cultivated by so-called thinkers. These academics created a fantasy of a superior &#8216;Aryan&#8217; race to provide an intellectual basis for conducting pogroms against Jews, while also justifying the colonial subjugation of the Hindus in South Asia. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and Nazi theorist Alfred Rosenburg enthusiastically backed the now-discredited &#8220;Aryan Invasion Theory,&#8221; which postulated that South Asia had been invaded in 1500 BC by light-skinned &#8220;Aryans&#8221; from Central Asia who allegedly imposed Hinduism on the native inhabitants and subjugated them with a caste system based on color. Our communities need to understand this about ourselves and each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Details about the event can be found <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.hccanada.com\/hindujewish.pdf \">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>canadafreepress.com TORONTO, CANADA, January 31, 2008: (HPI Note: This is the summary of a Press Release written by the director,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6571\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
