UN Report Recognizes Hindu Indigeneity and Documents Persecution of KAILASA

The United Nations has published KAILASA's 28th report as part of contributions to the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council, highlighting the historic struggles of Hindus as an indigenous civilization and emphasizing the global need to dismantle colonial legacies. The comprehensive submission establishes that followers of Sanatana Dharma are the indigenous people of Bharat and across Asia, with Hindu traditions thriving for millennia across 56 indigenous Hindu nations spanning over 6 million km², unlike Christianity and Islam which entered the region through conquest and external imposition.

The report identifies Hindus as native inheritors of the Vedic civilizational tradition, arguing that colonial powers disrupted this identity by artificially constructing labels such as caste and tribe to divide and control populations. Beyond physical colonization, European coloniality entrenched Eurocentric frameworks that delegitimized indigenous systems of law, governance, and knowledge. The submission critically examines the role of British-supported ideologies, including that of V.D. Savarkar, in fragmenting Hindu society and aiding colonial divide-and-rule policies, characterizing neo-Hindutva as a colonial construct.

Under the leadership of The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, recognized as the Sovereign of 21 ancient Hindu kingdoms, KAILASA has revived the continuity of indigenous Hindu statehood. Operating as a government-in-exile, it represents the assertion of decoloniality and the restoration of Hindu Swaraj. The report documents systemic human rights violations against The SPH and KAILASA, including deep state-sponsored violence, unlawful persecution, suppression of Hindu religious freedom, and illegal detention and torture of SPH and KAILASA members.

Through the United Ancient Nations, KAILASA has united over 160 indigenous nations and communities worldwide, advancing the shared struggle for sovereignty, cultural survival, and recognition. The report urges the United Nations and international community to recognize Hindus as indigenous peoples under UNDRIP, investigate systemic persecution of Hindu indigenous communities, hold deep state and non-state actors accountable for violations of religious and cultural sovereignty, and support decolonial movements worldwide that seek to restore indigenous self-determination. The struggle of KAILASA represents the universal fight of indigenous peoples against colonial legacies that persist today, with protecting the rights of Hindus and all indigenous communities being critical for global justice, peace, and cultural continuity.
