Freedom of Hindu Beliefs (FOHB)

By Kesh Morjaria • 16 Dec, 2023
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."

Diwali Festivals

Indian culture is extending across the globe. Many nations who have significant numbers of people from the Indian diaspora but understood little about the religious and cultural norms. Since the last decade or so, Indian festivals and the wider culture is being embraced by mainstream communities.

Hindu Matters in Britain.

20 May, 2020
Hindu Matters in Britain offers a voice to the British Hindu community – Hindus of Britain are relevant. Hindus need to be counted; participate in the policy making process and play a key role in public life. HMB is not religious, nor political. It offers an informed opinion based on facts, research and current data available. HMB is a conduit to represent the views of the British Hindu community, and how it is represented within the mainstream. HMB hopes to provide an overall viewpoint so that people can make an informed decision on issues that matter to them. The Hindu community has been well established in the UK, especially in the last few decades, although the first visitors established themselves in Britain since the 19th century. The Hindu community has made great inroads into settling firmly into the roots of the modern British identity. 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. In addition to doctors and engineers, it is the field of IT that many Indians are attracted to the UK. It can be said that the Hindu community has set well in Britain. But in many cases the community is less known, and the indigenous people find it difficult to comprehend the intricacies of Hindu practices. On the other hand, there is a lot of respect of the hospitality of the British Hindu community and its outwardly values of strong family units, educational achievement and hard work.
