Georgia Senate introduces historic bill to recognize Hinduphobia in anti-discrimination laws

The Georgia Senate has introduced a groundbreaking bill, Senate Bill 375, to recognize Hinduphobia within anti-discrimination laws. If passed, Georgia would become the first U.S. state to address Hinduphobia formally. The bill aims to include Hinduphobia under laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, or national origin. It defines Hinduphobia as antagonistic attitudes and behaviors towards Hinduism and allows its consideration in hate crime cases.

The legislation also ensures free speech rights are protected and clarifies that it does not conflict with existing laws. A clause states that if any part of the bill is deemed unconstitutional, the entire law would be repealed.
