Let’s have a real conversation today — the kind I wish didn’t need to happen, and yet, here we are.

Over the last year, something dark has been simmering online and offline: an explosion of anti-Indian hostility coming from places many Indian Americans never expected.



FBI Director Kash Patel posts a simple Diwali message… and suddenly his mentions look like a hate-mob. Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Harmeet Dhillon, governors, the White House — the second someone says “Happy Diwali,” the far-right trolls pop out like they’ve been training for this moment.

And here’s the kicker: some Indian Americans are shocked.



Shocked that the same ecosystem that has targeted Black Americans, Latinos, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ+ communities — now has its sights on us too.

But racism was never a pick-and-choose buffet.



If you’re a minority in America, you’re on the menu whether you want to be or not.

In today’s episode, I dig into:

• 
  

  How anti-Indian sentiment exploded online after 2016 and even more under Elon Musk’s X.

  
  


• 
  

  Why Indian Americans — from CEOs to H-1B workers — have become a new target, despite being one of the most successful immigrant groups.

  
  


• 
  

  The scary rise of in-person harassment, including protests, threats, and hateful rhetoric that echoes some of the darkest chapters of American history.

  
  


• 
  

  The hard truth many Indian conservatives are waking up to: proximity to power does not protect you from prejudice.

  
  


• 
  

  Why this should push us toward solidarity, not silence, because hate doesn’t stop with one group — it spreads.

  
  

This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had on the show. Not because it’s political — but because it’s human. Because when someone tells an Indian American to “go home,” they’re talking to me, they’re talking to my family, they’re talking to millions of people who love this country and contribute to it every single day.

And because I’m a grateful immigrant who believes deeply in the American story — and I refuse to let hatred rewrite it.
