Ketu H. Katrak is Professor of Drama at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). She was founding Chair of the Department of Asian American Studies (1996-2004) at UCI[1] as of April 2024.

She has published no books, papers, or research pertaining to Hindus, the Indus Civilization, or caste.

In 2016, she signed a letter endorsing a letter submitted by the South Asia Faculty Group[2][3] where it addressed the State Board of Education, California Department of Education, dated May 17, 2016. In this letter they requested removing the word India from textbooks. In addition, they falsely[4] stated:

  1. "There is no established connection between Hinduism and the Indus Civilization."
  2. "It is inappropriate to remove mention of the connection of caste to Hinduism."
