Based on recent developments in early 2026, there is no official "Houston against Indians" campaign, but rather an intense rise in anti-Indian and anti-Hindu rhetoric within Texas political and social circles, often targeting Indian immigrants and Hindu Americans. [1, 2]

Key 2026 Incidents and Context:

• Political Anti-Indian Rhetoric: Texas Republican candidate for attorney general, Aaron Reitz, faced intense backlash in January 2026 for social media posts warning that Texas counties could turn into “Delhi, Calcutta and Hyderabad” and attacking Indian immigration and H-1B visas. [1, 2]
• Controversy Over Candidates: A Texas State House candidate, Puja Sati, faced xenophobic online attacks regarding her heritage, with critics calling for foreigners to be barred from office and blaming a group for damaging the hotel industry. [1]
• Protests and Hate Incidents: In October 2025, a group named "Take Action Texas" staged an anti-Indian protest in Irving, Texas, labeling Diwali "garbage" and blaming immigrants for "demographic shifts," which was condemned as Hinduphobia. [1]
• Community Tension: Reports indicate that "blatant hate" and racist behavior towards the Indian community has been observed, with some individuals expressing discomfort with the growing Indian population in Texas. [1, 2]

These events indicate a rise in local anti-Indian sentiment driven by specific political campaigns and social groups rather than a broad, unified campaign. [1]
