UN Publishes KAILASA Report on Hindu Rights Violations and Transitional Justice

The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has published the 29th report submitted by KAILASA, the Ancient Enlightened Sanatana Hindu Civilizational Nation, in response to the Special Rapporteur on truth, justice and reparation's call for inputs on economic, social, and cultural rights in the context of transitional justice. The report underscores the systemic violations faced by Indigenous Hindu communities and advocates for reparative measures rooted in Hindu principles to restore dignity, equity, and cultural autonomy. This submission responds to the UN's call for inputs on economic, social and cultural rights in the context of transitional justice and addresses how these rights intersect with transitional justice pillars including truth, justice, reparation, guarantees of non-recurrence, and memorialization.

The comprehensive report details historical and ongoing injustices, including what it terms the Hindu Holocaust, which resulted in the loss of 56 Hindu nations, over 500 million lives, and the destruction of thousands of temples and educational institutions. The submission highlights colonial-era intensifications under British rule, such as the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 and the nationalization of Hindu temples, as well as post-colonial discrimination through state appropriation and cultural alienation. These historical violations have created lasting impacts on Indigenous Hindu communities' economic, social, and cultural rights that continue to require addressing through transitional justice mechanisms.

A central case study in the report focuses on the persecution of KAILASA and its Sovereign, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, from 2010 to 2025. This includes documentation of over 70 assassination attempts, 250 sexual assaults, 120 false legal cases, and $27 million in property destruction, alongside economic warfare, gender-based violence against women's institutions, and violations of indigenous rights under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The full report submitted to the UN provides detailed evidence of these alleged violations and their impact on the community's fundamental rights.

The report exposes what it characterizes as institutional bias, media disinformation, and the dismantling of traditional knowledge systems, emphasizing the need for people-centered approaches that integrate marginalized voices and gender perspectives. KAILASA's submission calls for a paradigm shift in transitional justice, incorporating Indigenous Hindu epistemologies to address root causes of violence and prevent recurrence. The report promotes KAILASA's solutions, including indigenous-led initiatives for sustainable development, education, and human rights protection that align with traditional Hindu principles and practices.

This advocacy work represents part of KAILASA's broader engagement with international human rights mechanisms, as detailed in their featured information about United Nations publications. The organization advocates for global commitments to acknowledge past atrocities, restore equitable resource access, and empower Hindu communities through participatory methodologies that respect indigenous knowledge systems and cultural practices. This publication marks another milestone in KAILASA's ongoing engagement with the UN human rights system, reaffirming its stated role in reviving indigenous Hindu traditions and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals through culturally-grounded approaches to justice and development.
