Overview

• A message reading “Indian Rats” was found beside a children’s park on Webb Drive in Mississauga and circulated widely after an Indian immigrant posted a photo online.
• The Coalition of Hindus of North America condemned the vandalism as part of a broader pattern of bias and urged Peel Police to treat it as a hate‑motivated incident.
• CoHNA called for stronger anti‑hate mechanisms across all levels of government and for formal recognition of Hinduphobia as a distinct form of hate.
• Coverage notes no confirmed police determination, investigation outcome, or arrests related to the graffiti as of the latest reports.
• The original poster described prior experiences they view as racial profiling, which outlets cited to frame community concerns about discrimination in Canada.
