  1. Reporting Racial and Religious Hate Incidents

If you are in immediate danger, please call the police on 999. If you are of Indian heritage or Hindu faith and the victim of a racial and religious hate incident, or you have information regarding such an incident that happened to somebody, please fill in the reporting form as soon as you can. 

We monitor and report on racial and religious hate incidents that occur throughout the United Kingdom towards people of Indian heritage and those that practice the Hindu faith. Racial and religious hate is any malicious act aimed at people, organisations, or property, where there is evidence that the incident has religious, racial, or ethnic target/hate motivation or content, or that the victim was targeted because they are (or are believed to be) persons of a particular ethnic or religious background. 

At AHHR, we monitor and report to the relevant authorities across the United Kingdom on all incidents of this kind in the hope of drawing sufficient attention to the problem and for relevant authorities to take the appropriate actions.

NHSF

https://www.nhsf.org.uk/

The foundations of the National Hindu Students’ Forum (UK) were set in 1991, by a group of young Hindu university students in London. NHSF (UK) was founded with one purpose: to provide Hindu students at universities across the United Kingdom a safe place to explore their Hindu identity, cultivate their key values, and develop into future Hindu ambassadors.

The Hindu tradition is a vast, inclusive cultural and philosophical framework from the Indian subcontinent, encompassing a diverse range of beliefs and practices from religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Rooted in principles such as karma, dharma and moksha, it transcends religious boundaries, welcoming theists, atheists and secular practitioners alike. This tradition integrates various schools of thought, ethical values like ahimsa (non-violence), and universally embraced practices like yoga and meditation. It fosters spiritual, philosophical and cultural diversity, uniting individuals through shared texts, symbols and festivals, creating a pluralistic space where devotion, philosophy and ethical living coexist.
