Hatred and prejudices went unchecked

I write with reference to the poignant speech made by Lord Popat which you reported in GS-AV recently. He says that it is Jews today and it could be us (Hindus?) tomorrow.

Noting the comments made by the Labour Party Leader and also the release of that Imam of Hate from prison recently, I suspect we as Sanatan Dharmics will equally not be spared by them. It is imperative that we stand up to these bullies. 

"Yada yada hey dharmatsya...."

I have recently attended lectures by Dharmic Ideas and Policy Foundation and feel that through these organisations we need to lobby the powers that be. To use our democratic rights to protect ourselves from onslaughts. We need to help 'our own' who are blighted by the authorities of other lands, as shown by their recent documentary 'Who am I, the plight of Pakistani Hindus'. 

It is however equally sad to read that the people of Gujarat are shedding blood of their own countrymen.

Lord Sacks in the GS-AV article said it succinctly "forced conversions, expulsion, holocaust...and... it happened because no one said stop". It goes on in Pakistan and Jammu&Kashmir.

Surely it is time for Arjuna to take his bow out of his quiver.
