Swara Bhasker, a Bollywood actress, recently visited the United States and met with activists from a group called ‘Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR).’ On May 5, after meeting with the organization’s co-founder Sunita Vishwanath, the actress expressed gratitude for a wonderful evening.
“It was inspiring to be in a room full of passionate activists.
It is critical that we stand up for human rights and speak out against injustice whenever possible…onward and upward!” she tweeted.
Hindus for Human Rights’ active participation in anti-India propaganda.
On April 25 of this year, the Investigating Info-warfare and Psy-war OSINT Disinfo Lab reported that the ‘Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR)’ had been promoting the false narrative of ‘Hindu Vs Hindutva.’ The same group was also seen supporting the ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva’ event.
According to Disinfo Lab, HfHR was founded in 2019 by two Islamist advocacy organizations, the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) and the Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI). Surprisingly, the three organizations had joined forces to form the Alliance for Justice and Accountability.
Several events are held in the US on ‘rising Hindutva’ such as #DismantlingGlobalHindutva

According to The Hindu, the Alliance for Justice and Accountability has been at the forefront of leading protests against PM Modi’s visit to Houston on September 22, 2019.
“The AJA includes Hindu, Muslim, Dalit, Sikh, and Christian organisations, among others.” The Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR), a progressive Hindu organization opposed to Hindutva, the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), and the Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI) are among them,” according to the article.
What else does HfHR do?
Other than collaborating with IAMC – it runs Facebook ad campaigns to amplify USCIRF’s annual report & its recommendation to blacklist India! It also runs FB ads for Bhima Koregaon convicts.

According to Disinfo Lab, the co-founder of Hindus for Human Rights also runs the ‘Women for Afghan Women’ organization, which is funded by the Soros Open Society Foundation. The previous year.
It was previously reported that George Soros was fueling a dangerous anti-India narrative through the media and “civil society.”
Sunita Vishwanath, who was recently photographed with Swara Bhasker, attempted to instil fear and panic among Indian Muslims regarding the National Register of Citizens (NRC)
“We are particularly appalled by the latest nightmare of the Kashmiri people, as well as the situation of 1.9 million Indians who have been rendered stateless as a result of the imposition of the travesty known as the National Register of Citizens.”
Interestingly, #HfHR Founder Raju was heading another front – EKTA which was already working with IAMC on ‘human rights in India’.
Then what was the need for new front?They needed a ‘Hindu’ sounding front to push the narrative of Hindutva!

Raju, a founding member of HfHR, is also the CEO of EKTA. It is an IAMC associate organization. The sole purpose of having Hindus on the panel was to project that Hindus in general were opposed to Hindutva. Interestingly, HfHR promoted previous USCIRF reports through Facebook ads.
Swara Bhasker was spotted with the founder of Polis Project.
Swara Bhasker, a Bollywood actress, also met with Suchitra Vijayan, the founder of the Polis Project. The actress tweeted in support of her book ‘Midnight Borders,’ saying, “In-flight reading sorted thanks to Suchitra.” Thank you, Suchitra, and it was a pleasure to meet you.”

According to Disinfo Lab, the Polis Project’s Facebook page has a Pakistan-based admin, despite the fact that her entire propaganda work is based in India. The OSNIT also stated that ‘The Polis Project’ is frequently featured in Indian American Muslim Council events (IAMC).
#PolisProject is a New-York based ‘research & journalism’ project. Polis Project is also a regular at IAMC & JFA's events.
Interestingly, while Polis Project’s entire work is on India, the Facebook page is run by a Pakistan-based admin!

Swara Bhasker is well-known for her anti-Modi rhetoric and anti-government agenda, but she has now upped the ante and joined forces with anti-India forces in the United States. Although the actress attempted to play down her meeting with Sunita Vishwanath and Suchitra Vijayan, it is clear that there is more to it than meets the eye.

According to an East Bay Express report from 2003, “Bhinder and his accomplice Gurtej Singh met with an undercover agent posing as a weapon dealer to buy assault weapons and shoulder-fired missiles for the Free Khalistan movement.”
According to the report, “Bhinder allegedly stated that the weapons would be transported to Pakistan via yacht.” They would then travel by truck into India, where they would be met by members of the Free Khalistan movement. The declaration stated that Bhinder would pay half of the money when he received the weapons and the other half when the shipment arrived in India.”
