Hindus for Human Rights’ 2026 wall calendar, Incarnations of Gender, features original artwork from artists around the world, exploring the sacred as fluid, evolving, and alive in every generation.

Each month highlights a new visual meditation on Hindu stories and symbols, alongside a rich set of dates: Hindu festivals from diverse regions and traditions, major holidays from other religions, key historic events in South Asia and its diaspora, and anniversaries of social justice leaders who fought for equality, dignity, and freedom.
All proceeds support Hindus for Human Rights, a US-based nonprofit rooted in the Hindu values of shanti (peace), nyaya (justice), satya (truth), and lokasangraha (the universal common good), working against caste, Hindu nationalism, racism, and all forms of bigotry and oppression.

“The World is Family”: Film Screening director Anand Patwardhan @ Stanford
“The World is Family”: Film Screening with director Anand Patwardhan
Date/Time: Tuesday, February 17, 2026 — 5:30 PM
Location: Stanford University, McMurtry Building (Oshman Hall), 355 Roth Way, Stanford, CA 94305
Sponsors: Center for South Asia; Department of Art & Art History (co-sponsored)
About the film:
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—“the world is family”—is a universalist idea that challenges exclusivist Hindu notions of caste. In this documentary, Anand Patwardhan turns toward family footage and oral history, tracing how the values of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” (enshrined in India’s Constitution) shaped a household—and how those memories sharpen in a time when self-described supremacists are in power and history is being rewritten.
About the filmmaker:
Anand Patwardhan is an award-winning socio-political documentary filmmaker with over five decades of work on issues at the heart of public life in India. Many of his films have faced censorship; he has repeatedly challenged such rulings in court. Patwardhan has long been active in movements for civil liberties, communal harmony, housing rights, and against militarism and nuclear nationalism.
