The Greenwood BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Indiana, US, was vandalised with anti-India and anti-Modi graffiti, allegedly by pro-Khalistan extremists, marking the fourth attack on a Hindu temple in the US this year. The Hindu American Foundation and Coalition of Hindus of North America condemned the act as a hate crime and urged accountability. The Indian Consulate in Chicago denounced the desecration, calling it “reprehensible,” and pressed for strict action by local authorities. Volunteers described the graffiti as “a message of hate against Hindus.” Similar attacks have targeted BAPS temples in California, New York, and Sacramento over the past year. (PC: India Today)
