RESPONSE TO: Fundraiser held for Raj Goyle, NY Comptroller candidate
1/7/2026
Dear Editor
Thank you for educating your readers about upcoming candidates for political offices. This information will enable them to make informed decisions.
Re Raj Goyle, I strongly recommend he should NOT be supported for the reasons cited below. Of note, Mr Raj Goyle is the Founder of ‘Indian American Impact,' an anti-Hindu hate monger organization. Unfortunately, his organization's actions have been consistently maladaptive towards American Hindus. Let's take a deep dive into this rabbit hole.
1. 2025: Endorsed Mamdani for NY Mayor despite his slandering of Hindus and India.
2. 2024: Collaborated with an anti-Hindu hate monger organization 'Hindus for Human Rights that supported anti Hindu hate bill CA SB 403 and has dismissed H. Res. 69, ‘Condemn Hinduphobia and Condemn Attacks on Hindu Mandirs” Act. To underscore, H. Res. 69 was reintroduced in the 119th Congress and initially in the 118th Congress. https://voiceofhindus.org/hinduphobic-assaults-by-anti-hindu-hate-organizations-who-are-they/ By Geeta Sikand.
3. 2024 Annual Summit: Authentic Hindu advocacy organizations were selectively excluded from presenting their perspective at the 'Building Bridges to Multi-faith Communities’ session. The event Speakers were selectively invited only from anti-Hindu hate organizations: 'Indian American Muslim Council', 'Sikh Coalition' and the 'Hindus for Human Rights,' because they supported the legislation "CA SB 403" that targeted American Hindus in 2024. Visibly invisible and loudly silent were: Americans4Hindus, CoHNA, Hindu American Foundation, HinduACTion, HinduPACT, Infinity foundation and more.
4. 2025 Annual Summit: My speaker's proposal, titled “Current Status of Hinduphobia and Attacks on Hindu Mandirs in America," by Mr Rajiv Malhotra, noted Hindu scholar (Infinity Foundation) was declined by Mr Chintan Patel, ED of Indian American Impact.
