KAILASA Report to UN Documents Systemic Violations Against Indigenous Hindu Communities

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 comprehensive document responds to the Special Rapporteur's call for inputs available at https://www.ohchr.org/en/calls-for-input/2025/call-inputs-economic-social-and-cultural-rights-context-transitional-justice and outlines systemic violations faced by Indigenous Hindu communities while advocating for reparative measures grounded in Hindu principles to restore dignity, equity, and cultural autonomy.

The report systematically addresses how economic, social, and cultural rights intersect with the five pillars of transitional justice: truth, justice, reparation, guarantees of non-recurrence, and memorialization. It documents extensive historical injustices, including what it terms the Hindu Holocaust, which allegedly resulted in the loss of 56 Hindu nations, over 500 million lives, and the destruction of thousands of temples and educational institutions throughout history. The submission traces these violations from colonial-era intensifications under British rule through post-colonial discrimination mechanisms.

A significant portion of the report focuses on contemporary persecution cases, particularly targeting KAILASA and its leader, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, from 2010 to 2025. The documented allegations include over 70 assassination attempts, 250 sexual assaults, 120 false legal cases, and $27 million in property destruction. The full report detailing these claims is accessible at https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/issues/truth/cfi-escr-trans-just/subm-economic-social-cultural-cso-15-kailash-union.pdf. Additional economic warfare, gender-based violence against women's institutions, and violations of indigenous rights under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are also highlighted as ongoing concerns.

The document exposes what it characterizes as institutional bias, media disinformation campaigns, and the systematic dismantling of traditional Hindu knowledge systems. It emphasizes the critical need for people-centered approaches that integrate marginalized voices and incorporate gender perspectives into transitional justice mechanisms. KAILASA's submission calls for a fundamental paradigm shift in how transitional justice is conceptualized and implemented, advocating for the incorporation of Indigenous Hindu epistemologies to address root causes of violence and prevent recurrence.

The report promotes KAILASA's proposed solutions, including indigenous-led initiatives for sustainable development, education, and human rights protection. It advocates for global commitments to acknowledge past atrocities, restore equitable access to resources, and empower Hindu communities through participatory methodologies.
