Put into Google 'British Hindus' and click News and you can see why British Indian groups not just Hindu ones are telling me they are being pressured by nefarious legal tools to shut them up or shut them down. Threatening baseless legal regulatory action - which will tie up the innocent in costs with threats that their life's causes and work will be shut down, unless they shut up.
Headlines to try scare you include “British Hindus voting for Labour are not ‘traitors’ to India (The Guardian); ‘”Divisive tactics” WhatsApp messages urge Hindus to vote…” (Guardian) “Hardline Hindus are pushing the Indian Government’s agenda…(CNN), “British Indians warn Hindu nationalist party not to meddle…”(Guardian) “These Sikh and Hindu ‘leaders’ who compete over racism…”(Independent).
Shame on you if you dare say what the Chief Rabbi said and the Muslim Council said about how you should consider voting – is the message.
I am glad those two British communities are as strong and vocal as they are so they do not suffer in the silence being sought to be brought on my community. God bless the Jewish and Muslim faiths for showing you can be faith based and say what you think without shame.
See the headlines and articles: You must be using secret tools like 'whatsapp' to communicate and umm....Facebook....to be a secret agent for the Government of Russia (I mean India), and Modi's love-child, and be 'nationalist' and 'hardline' and 'divisive'. Best shut up. Because silence furthers the freedom of speech the rest of us preserve!
These articles’ strategy is the same one like calling ALL Brexiteers racists. No, EXACTLY like that. Or all Conservatives racists. Or indeed all Labour Party members anti-semitic. Pick one from a group, and say rest are all like that. Genius! To get silence.
Boy are you wrong if being Hindu is something you'll shame us about. Or frighten us about. No, if anyone should be scared, it’s those seeking silence. Yes, we know how to communicate amongst ourselves and the rest of the world too.
And we support the Jewish and Muslim faiths to defend themselves too from anyone using the same tactics on them - as if anyone would dare.
Well, just as there are Hindus and Indians (not the same thing!) voting Labour, there are British Indians encouraging a non-Labour vote, as I said to the BBC, the Labour Party is as institutionally anti-Hindu as it is anti-semitic. Overwhelmingly the same people, processes, procedures are what makes it institutionally anti both faiths.
Yes, yes, I know, what about the Greens? But save them for another day.
