印度驻美国大使维奈·莫汉·夸特拉将一起据称针对芝加哥附近一座印度教寺庙的大规模枪击阴谋描述为“令人深感不安”。据印度报业托拉斯周四报道，他发表上述言论的前一天，一名青少年因涉嫌策划在伊利诺伊州奥罗拉市一座寺庙实施枪击而被捕。多个印度侨民团体谴责了这一涉嫌阴谋，并呼吁加强对印度教礼拜场所的保护。
India's Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, has described an alleged plot to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple near Chicago as "deeply disturbing", news agency Press Trust of India reported on Thursday. His remarks came a day after a teenager was arrested for allegedly planning the shooting at a temple in Aurora in the US state of Illinois. Several Indian diaspora groups condemned the alleged plot and called for stronger protection of Hindu places of worship."
夸特拉在X平台上发帖称：“奥罗拉印度教寺庙未遂的大规模枪击事件令人深感不安。包括反印度教和反印度仇恨在内的种族主义暴力在文明社会中没有立足之地。”美国助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆表示，司法部民权司将调查此事。据印度报业托拉斯报道，她在X平台上发帖称：“令人担忧。@CivilRights将审查调查。”
The attempted mass shooting at the Hindu temple in Aurora is deeply disturbing. Racist violence including anti-Hindu and anti-India hate has no place in a civilised society," Kwatra said in a post on X.US Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice would look into the incident. "Concerning. @CivilRights will reviewinvestigate," she said in a post on X, according to PTI.
印度与印度侨民研究基金会表示，这一事件表明反印度和反印度教的仇恨不仅限于网络和政治言论。该组织称：“这一事件严酷地提醒我们，反印度和反印度教的仇恨不仅仅是网络和政治言论——它可能转化为针对我们社区和礼拜场所的现实威胁。”
The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies said the incident showed that anti-India and anti-Hindu hatred was not limited to online and political rhetoric." This incident is a stark reminder that anti-India and anti-Hindu hatred is not merely online and political rhetoric — it can translate into real world threats against our community and places of worship," the group said.
北美印度教徒联盟敦促民选代表和执法机构认真对待针对印度教礼拜场所的威胁，加强安保，并明确谴责印度教恐惧症。该组织补充说：“我们还呼吁寺庙和社区组织审查其安全措施，保持警惕，并及时报告可疑活动。”
The Coalition of Hindus of North America urged elected representatives and law enforcement agencies to take threats against Hindu places of worship seriously, strengthen security and unequivocally condemn Hinduphobia." We also call on temples and community organisations to review their security measures, remain vigilant, and promptly report suspicious activity," it added.
印度裔美国人基金会执行主任苏哈格·舒克拉表示：“毫无疑问，这种仇恨已经从模糊不清演变为一种非常连贯的反印度教敌意，目前正在网上激化白人至上主义者。”
Suhag Shukla, executive director of the Hindu American Foundation, said, "There's also no question that the hate has gone from inchoate to a very coherent anti-Hindu animus that is now radicalising white supremacists online.
网络仇恨蔓延为现实世界暴力的风险从未如此之高。本月早些时候，俄亥俄州克利夫兰大都会区的斯瓦米纳拉扬印度教寺庙瓦德塔尔达姆遭到不明身份人员破坏。2025年，犹他州西班牙福克的一座印度教寺庙遭到枪击，加利福尼亚州有四座寺庙、纽约州有三座寺庙被涂写仇恨标语。北美印度教徒联盟还表示，得克萨斯州舒格兰的哈努曼雕像一直有人呼吁将其拆除。
The risk of online hate spilling into real world violence has never been higher." Earlier this month, the Swaminarayan Hindu Temple Vadthaldham in the greater Cleveland area of Ohio was vandalised by unidentified people. In 2025, a Hindu temple in Spanish Fork, Utah, came under gunfire, while four temples in California and three in New York were vandalised with hate slogans. The Coalition of Hindus of North America also said there had been regular calls to pull down the Hanuman statue in Sugar Land, Texas.
伊利诺伊州这起涉嫌枪击阴谋促使印度官员和侨民组织谴责反印度教和反印度的仇恨，并寻求对美国境内印度教寺庙和社区机构给予更大保护。
The alleged shooting plot in Illinois has prompted Indian officials and diaspora organisations to condemn anti-Hindu and anti-India hatred and seek greater protection for Hindu temples and community institutions in the US.
