- Re-frame the debate around the Swastika with an education campaign and multi-faith alliance that was instrumental in changing the course of a bill that would have deemed the sacred and auspicious Swastika as a symbol of hatred in New York schools
- Highlight the rarely heard stories of Kashmiri Hindus and their exodus from the valley over thirty years ago- the Kashmir Awareness Campaign
- Shine a light on the pain of religiously persecuted minorities, including Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
- Provide contemporary research to challenge misinformed views formed due to colonization along with a deconstruction of the racist and colonial biases against Hindus.
- And much more
