HHR Petition

Voice of the People Petition

We the people find it offensive and derogatory when companies and individuals seek to exploit and defame Hinduism and Hindu traditions for material gain or personal fame. To see Durgamata, our Divine Mother, in a compromising position with an animal, to see Draupadi stripped naked, to see a naked Sita with a naked Lord Hanuman’s tail between her legs and other obscene images of Hindu Goddesses including bestiality is deeply hurtful. Further, it is this sort of exploitation of Hinduism that leads to the negative portrayal of Hinduism we see here in the Western media and causes the apathy we witness when it comes to recognising the persecution of Hindus in parts of the world. We see this effect here in Britain where Hindu children are teased about their “funny Gods”.

We support the democratic rights of the British Hindu community to protest and we oppose those who seek to deny this democratic right. As Hindus and as law abiding citizens of Britain we oppose all violence, whether committed in the name of religion or not. We resent the implication by “learned Academics” who appear to be depicting any Hindus who find offence in defamation and abuse of Hinduism as extremists and any Hindu group that speaks up for and protests on behalf of the Hindu community as being “authoritarian”.

These “academics”, who have no mandate nor standing in the Hindu community, have never done anything for the Hindu community nor recognised by anyone in the community as scholars of Hinduism, are now justifying and defending the abuse and exploitation of Hinduism. Some of these self appointed experts also share the same ideology as prominent terrorist groups operating in India and Nepal. The ongoing defamation of Hinduism has led to cultural fascism and cultural genocide of Hinduism we see going on today in Nepal and India.

We, the ordinary and average British Hindus and friends of Hindus from various walks of life, support peaceful, lawful and non-violent protests by Hindu organisations.

We would appreciate if you keep one line replies and include your name, country and occupation too.
