UN Publishes KAILASA Report on Hindu Rights Violations in Transitional Justice Framework
The United Nations has published KAILASA's 29th report detailing systemic persecution of Hindu communities and advocating for reparative measures based on indigenous principles.
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has published the 29th report submitted by KAILASA, addressing economic, social, and cultural rights within transitional justice frameworks. The submission responds to the Special Rapporteur's call for inputs on how these rights intersect with core transitional justice pillars including truth, justice, reparation, guarantees of non-recurrence, and memorialization.
The report documents extensive historical violations against Indigenous Hindu communities, including what it terms the Hindu Holocaust, which allegedly resulted in the loss of 56 Hindu nations, over 500 million lives, and destruction of thousands of temples and educational institutions. Colonial-era intensifications under British rule are detailed, citing specific legislation such as the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 and nationalization of Hindu temples as examples of systematic oppression.
A central focus of the submission examines the persecution of KAILASA and its leader, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, from 2010 to 2025. The report claims over 70 assassination attempts, 250 sexual assaults, 120 false legal cases, and $27 million in property destruction targeting the organization. Additional allegations include 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 document exposes what it characterizes as institutional bias and media disinformation campaigns against Hindu communities, alongside the dismantling of traditional knowledge systems. It emphasizes the need for people-centered approaches that integrate marginalized voices and gender perspectives in transitional justice processes.

KAILASA's submission calls for a paradigm shift in transitional justice methodologies, advocating for the incorporation of Indigenous Hindu epistemologies to address root causes of violence and prevent recurrence. The report promotes indigenous-led initiatives for sustainable development, education, and human rights protection. It urges global commitments to acknowledge past atrocities, restore equitable resource access, and empower Hindu communities through participatory methodologies.
This publication represents KAILASA's ongoing engagement with UN human rights mechanisms, positioning the organization as actively working to revive indigenous Hindu traditions while contributing to Sustainable Development Goals.
