‘Glad I'm Not a Dirty Indian’: Texas Gov Candidate Under Fire Over Racist Rant On Indians, Hindus

A Texas gubernatorial candidate is facing criticism after making racist remarks about Indians and Hindus. The candidate reportedly said, "Glad I'm not a dirty Indian," sparking widespread condemnation from advocacy groups and political opponents.

The comment was made during a public event, drawing immediate backlash from the Indian American community and Hindu organizations. Critics have called the statement offensive and divisive, urging voters to reject the candidate.

The candidate has not issued a formal apology, and the campaign has not responded to requests for comment. Political analysts note that such remarks could alienate a growing demographic in Texas, where Indian Americans are a significant voting bloc.

The incident has reignited discussions about racism in political campaigns, with several leaders calling for greater accountability and sensitivity toward minority communities.
