From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Renuka Joshi


Rudi Heredia is a Research Consultant at the Indian Social Institute as of May 29, 2023. [1] [2] According to his university profile, his specific areas of interest are Religious dynamics and conversion in India, intersections of faith, reason, ethics, and social change in South Asia, with a focus on Hinduism, Hindutva, and issues related to secularism and religious plurality.

As per his bio, he has published no books, papers, or research pertaining to Hindus, the rights of Hindus, the impact or relationship between Islam and Hinduism / Hindutva, India or the Indian Government in the context of the BJP government.

In 2021, he endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference and made the allegation

"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women in these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."[3]
