Infinity Foundation plays key role in championing Hindu American rights: Rep. Thanedar

The Infinity Foundation, established by eminent Indian American Rajiv Malhotra 30 years ago, has played a pivotal role in championing the rights of Hindu Americans, an influential US lawmaker has said, noting that its tireless work aligns with the American ideals of justice, equality, and religious freedom.

“The Infinity Foundation, established by Rajiv Malhotra thirty years ago, has played a pivotal role in championing the rights of Hindu Americans, advocating against biases and Hinduphobia, and ensuring their equal protection under civil rights laws,” Indian American Congressman Shri Thanedar said.

Speaking on the floor of the US House of Representatives, Thanedar said Infinity Foundation has contributed significantly to intellectual diversity in the US by fostering rigorous academic inquiry, research, and dialogue on Indian philosophy, dharmic traditions, and Hindu contributions to world civilization, thereby enriching America’s multicultural fabric.

He applauded the efforts made by its founder, Rajiv Malhotra, and the Infinity Foundation to strengthen the bridge between Hindu Americans and other faith communities and foster goodwill, collaboration, and mutual respect.

“The Infinity Foundation’s tireless work aligns with the American ideals of justice, equality, and religious freedom, serving as an exemplary institution that strengthens the Nation’s commitment to these values,” he said.

Rajiv Malhotra and the Infinity Foundation’s efforts can be seen in their upcoming ‘Global Dharma Renaissance’ event, planned for April 2025, he said. “This event marks a historic milestone in recognizing the intellectual and cultural revival of Dharma traditions in the United States and globally, solidifying its role as a forerunner and a guiding force akin to a banyan tree that supports and nurtures other Hindu organizations in the country,” he said.

Thanedar said Malhotra’s scholarship and leadership have significantly contributed to the empowerment of Hindu Americans, providing them with a voice in academia, media, and policy discussions. “His advocacy has ensured that Hindu American heritage is accurately represented in public discourse,” he said.
