Introducing Hindu Human Rights of UK

Respected Swami Ji, Hindu Bandhus & Bhaginis:

I have followed the Tirumala Tirupati events with much anguish and
disappointment.

I belong to the second generation of Hindus whose ancestors migrated to East
Africa at the turn of the 19th century. Idi Amin drove my people out of Uganda.
We are called "Asians" in East Africa, hold no political power and are
frequently attacked in the media as a result of our economic success. Locals
kill many of our people and we live in constant fear for our lives. Locals refer
to us as "Muhindi", a derogatory term that is derived from the Arabic word "Wa
Hindi" for a person from India.

I find it especially painful that Hindus are persecuted in their own homeland by
a handful of anti Hindu and anti national thugs. I am extremely disappointed in
the lack of interest from the so-called bastions of Hindu rights such as the
RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal and the mighty Shiv Sena. I often come across past issues
of RSS' "Organizer" which show photographs of massive rallies at Nagpur. I must
confess the sight of the faithful RSS volunteers that assemble at the rallies
baffles me. The never-ending rows and rows of, what would appear like highly
disciplined, uniformed and devoted Hindus, and their sheer numbers are
mind-boggling. From the pictures, the rows appear to be sans fin. Where are all
these people now? Even if a fraction of these RSS volunteers were to congregate
and protest against the hateful media and government offices, the impact would
be an effectual one. Their silence is overwhelming.

I feel the Hindu Human Rights (HHR) group of UK might be a useful group in
promoting our cause. The Hindu Human Rights group that is formed by a group of
UK Hindus, most of who are second/third generation born outside of India. HHR is
not connected to the RSS or the VHP and appears to be an effective and
well-organized group that might be able to help publicize the attacks on
Tirumala Tirupati. Recently, HHR has had successful campaigns against anti Hindu
forces. Details are available on their website at
http://www.hinduhumanrights.org

If there is interest, please contact the HHR group for their assistance and
support.

If we fail to protect our heritage, even our Gods will not come to our aid. The
power to do something lies in our hands. Organized action plans need to be
initiated in Bharat. For example, effective immediately, ALL Hindus should
boycott the businesses that advertise in the anti-Hindu media. The advertisement
revenues are vital for the sustenance of the media. It is the lifeline to their
survival. Cut off the money supply, pinch where it hurts the most and we might
see some positive results.

And to my dear peace-loving Hindus, who might be the Gandhian types, such a
boycott can be conducted quite effectively by non-violent ways!

Vande Mataram.
