On September 18th, 2017, Rajesh and Vidhya Patnaik, two small business owners in Indianapolis, Indiana, arrived at their sign-printing shop “Signs by Tomorrow” to see it covered in graffiti. The walls, windows and the doors of the business were covered with anti-Hindu phrases like “Traitors” and “Satanists”. A fire was set outside the building but it burned itself out without causing any damage. Rajesh Patnaik told WTHR/13: “First I saw the front, and then I decided to go look at the back. On the backside there was much more and it hit me like nothing before. It is shocking, it hurts. I’ve never seen anything like this before and I’ve lived in the U.S. for a little over nine years…The person probably knows something, maybe something superficially, about Hinduism and they probably don’t like the fact that I am practicing Hinduism.”
