印度驻美国大使维奈·莫汉·克瓦特拉称，一起据称计划在芝加哥附近一座印度教寺庙实施大规模枪击的阴谋令人深感不安。印度新闻机构“印度新闻信托社”对此进行了报道。一名青少年因涉嫌策划在伊利诺伊州奥罗拉市的一座寺庙内实施枪击而被捕。克瓦特拉表示，包括反印度教和反印度仇恨在内的种族主义暴力行为，在文明社会中毫无容身之地。
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.A teenager was arrested for allegedly planning the shooting at a temple in Aurora, Illinois. Kwatra said racist violence, including anti-Hindu and anti-India hate, had no place in a civilised society.“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 examine the incident.
“奥罗拉市印度教寺庙发生的大规模枪击未遂事件令人深感不安。包括反印度教和反印度仇恨在内的种族主义暴力行为，在文明社会中毫无容身之地，”克瓦特拉在X平台上发文称。美国助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆表示，司法部民权司将对该事件展开审查。“令人担忧。@民权司将对此进行审查和调查，”据印度新闻信托社报道，迪隆在X上发帖称。
“Concerning. @CivilRights will reviewinvestigate,” Dhillon posted on X, according to PTI.
多个印度裔社群团体谴责了这起所谓的阴谋。“印度与印度裔研究基金会”表示：“这起事件清楚地提醒我们，反印度和反印度教的仇恨并不仅仅停留在网络和政治言论层面——它可能演变为针对我们社群和宗教场所的现实威胁。”北美印度教联盟敦促当局保护寺庙。“我们敦促民选官员和执法机构认真对待针对印度教宗教场所日益增多的威胁，加强保护措施，并明确谴责反印度教情绪，”该组织表示。
Several Indian diaspora groups condemned the alleged plot. The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies said, “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 Coalition of Hindus of North America urged the authorities to protect temples. “We urge elected officials and law enforcement agencies to take the growing threats against Hindu places of worship seriously, strengthen protections, and unequivocally condemn Hinduphobia,” the organisation said.“We also call on temples and community organisations to review their security measures, remain vigilant, and promptly report suspicious activity,” it added.
“我们还呼吁各寺庙和社群组织审查其安全措施，保持警惕，并立即报告可疑活动，”该组织补充道。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，这种仇恨已从模糊的倾向演变为一种非常明确的反印度教敌意，并且如今正在网络上激化白人至上主义者的极端思想。”
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. The risk of online hate spilling into real world violence has never been higher.”“Hindus deserve to feel safe in our places of worship, and this plot makes it clear that anti-Hindu and anti-Indian hate are escalating to a point of putting our community in danger. We are grateful to those who stepped up to stop a horrific incident from occurring,” said Sravya Tadepalli, executive director of Hindus for Human Rights.
“网络仇恨演变为现实暴力的风险从未如此之高。”“印度教徒理应能在我们的宗教场所感到安全，而这一阴谋清楚地表明，针对印度教徒和印度人的仇恨正在升级，已危及我们的社群。我们感谢那些挺身而出、阻止这起骇人事件发生的人，”“印度教徒人权组织”执行主任斯拉维娅·塔德帕利（Sravya Tadepalli）表示。“印度裔美国人影响力组织”执行主任钦坦·帕特尔（Chintan Patel）说：“够了！所有人都应该明白，针对我们社群的仇恨并不会只停留在互联网的角落。当拥有权力和平台的人将印度裔及南亚裔美国人描绘成需要被恐惧和驱逐的局外人时，他们就是在助长那些想要我们死亡的人的气焰。”
Chintan Patel, executive director of Indian American Impact, said, “Enough is enough. It should be obvious to everyone that hate against our communities does not stay in the back corners of the internet. When people with power and a platform cast Indian and South Asian Americans as outsiders to be feared and removed, they embolden those who want us dead.”
本月早些时候，俄亥俄州大克利夫兰地区的斯瓦米纳拉扬印度教瓦德塔尔德汉神庙遭到身份不明者的破坏。据印度报业托拉斯（PTI）报道，2025年，犹他州西班牙福克的一座印度教寺庙遭到枪击，而加利福尼亚州的四座寺庙和纽约州的三座寺庙则被喷涂了仇恨标语。北美印度教徒联盟还表示，德克萨斯州舒格兰德的哈努曼雕像也多次遭到拆除的呼吁。

The Coalition of Hindus of North America also said there had been repeated calls to demolish the Hanuman statue in Sugar Land, Texas.
