A course on Hinduism at the University of Houston has led to a controversy. An Indian-American student, Vasant Bhatt, accused the university of promoting "Hinduphobia." He claimed the course describes Hinduism as a "political tool" and links it to oppression. The university is reviewing the complaint. The course, taught online by Professor Aaron Michael Ullrey, has drawn criticism for its syllabus. Bhatt shared a quote stating that the term "Hindu" is recent and linked to nationalism. This comes as India rejected a US report on religious freedom, calling it biased and politically motivated. (PC: UHouston/X)
