The Hindu Forum of Britain , working with the National Council of Hindu Temples (NCHT) and other major Hindu organisations have developed guidance note and templates for the ease of completing the consultation form.
The Consultation was announced on 28th March and ends on 17 July 2017. It is most important for everyone, every organisation and every business to fill in the form as this is the only way your views can be heard by the makers of the law in the UK.
The Hindu manifesto GE15 stated: The existing Equality Act 2010 is sufficient to protect everyone regardless of their colour, race or ethnicity and there is no need to introduce any further legislation. We have started holding a series of assemblies across the UK to raise awareness and assist in completing the consultation form.
‘In 2013, the Regulatory and Reform Bill (via the Lord Harries amendment) introduced an obligation upon the Government to put into action the 2010 Act in relation to ‘caste’.‘
