There should be no 'double standards' when addressing religiophobia, and combating it should not be a 'selective exercise' limited to only one or two religions. This principle should apply equally to fears directed at non-Abrahamic religions, as emphasised by India during its presentation at the United Nations in June 2022. Despite being one of the most peaceful and globally-contributing communities, Hindus have faced an unjustifiable level of criticism and persecution, to the point of endangerment in some regions of the world. Considering the invaluable contributions that Hinduism has made to the world, such as Yoga, Veganism, Meditation, Sanskrit, Mathematics, Science, and more, it begs the question: Why do those harbouring silent prejudices fail to recognise this value? This website highlights various instances in which Hindus, Hinduism, and Sanatan Dharma have come under attack. Many of these incidents have gone unreported by mainstream media or, when reported, have been suppressed by all major search engines. An analysis conducted in 2022 revealed how Google promoted 'left'-biased news stories from specific publishers, including The Guardian and the BBC."

During the onset of World War 1 offered the first sign of people of India coming onto the shore of Britain. The British Indian Army was supporting Britain’s freedom struggle against the Nazis. In the 1970s another wave of Hindu migration came from East Africa as Britain agreed to take on Asians from the Ugandan expulsion. Many from the surrounding countries of Kenya and Tanzania also joined them. Since the 1990s there have been a steady flow of Hindus who have come to work or settle in Britain with specific skills.
