  • American Hindu Voter Guide by HinduVote a project of HinduPACT
    Oct 24 2024

    "HinduVote Guide for American Hindu Voters," is a resource created by HinduPACT, a Hindu policy research and advocacy collective.

    The guide aims to encourage voter registration and participation among American Hindus by providing information on Hindu issues, voting regulations, and an agenda of key policy concerns for the 2024 election. This includes guidance on voting eligibility, the importance of voting for candidates who promote a dharma-centric approach to policymaking, and resources to help Hindu voters make informed decisions.

    The guide discusses the ancient Hindu democratic and electoral tradition and scriptural guidance on selecting good leaders. It stresses the significance of Hindu values and principles in shaping a just and sustainable society. It advocates for the American Hindu Agenda for 2024 Elections, advocating for the protection of Hindu temples, addressing anti-Hindu sentiment, and supporting legislation that promotes a multi-faceted foreign policy with India.

    Ancient Indian Polity and Governance
    • Ancient Indian polity was not monolithic; republics and monarchies co-existed, interacting and influencing each other.
    • Gana-rajyas had complex systems of governance, involving various councils, assemblies, and elected officials.
    • Dharma, or righteous conduct, acted as a significant restraint on power, even in monarchies.
    • Councils and ministerial advice played a crucial role in decision-making, limiting absolute monarchy.
    • Local governance thrived in ancient India, with village councils and town assemblies managing local affairs.
