The organization highlighted Rep. Capuano’s strong Catholic background and stances on human rights issues as deciding factors in their endorsement.
“Through his work in the faith community and his passion for Darfur and India, Michael Capuano has distinguished himself as a man of solid morals and good judgment,” said Krishnan. Hindu Democrats was founded by Krishnan, a Democratic party activist, and Rajiv Srinivasan, a U.S. Army soldier currently serving in Afghanistan.

Hindu Democrats is the premier institution for the representation of Hindu-American values in American politics. It aims to serve as a resource for people to communicate a better future for the Democratic Party – one in which Democrats are not afraid to talk about their faith. We at Hindu Democrats believe that a liberal democracy is best supported by the free exchange of ideas, including those pertaining to faith. Our goal for this project is to light a flame of faith and national pride in our spiritual circle; a flame that can be passed on to generations far beyond our own in the form of good governance.
The EAGLE, “Student starts Hindu political action group”
<
p>This is what tripped me up: “The organization highlighted Rep. Capuano’s strong Catholic background and stances on human rights issues as deciding factors in their endorsement.” I’m not used to people using religion as a proxy for character and values in a political endorsement. Again, my apology to Bharat Krishnan and the good people at Hindu Democrats.
