Hinduphobia" as she shared a post where an Uber driver in the US asked a passenger to get down because of their religious identity.
The American politician shared a post claiming that a passenger was discriminated by the Uber driver because of their Hindu religion.
"Unfortunately, Hinduphobia is very real. I've experienced it directly in each of my campaigns for Congress & in this presidential race. Here's just one example of what Hindus face every day in our country. Sadly, our political leaders & media not only tolerate it but foment it," Gabbard wrote as she tagged a post containing the details of the incident.
As per the post, the Uber driver attacked the passenger accusing them of instigating riots against the Muslims in Delhi and asked her to get down from his cab.
