In a late December 2024 post on X, Thanedar commented, “Racism in America is still alive and well, and we must stand up to it together.” He shared his comment after what he called “deplorable rhetoric targeting Indian Americans.” Thanedar also introduced a resolution in April of 2024 condemning all Hinduphobia.
