Watching Hindu Interests

VHP remains alert on the conditions of Hindus living abroad and takes up the issues affecting the Hindu interests. The question of discrimination against Hindus m Arab countries was taken up with the Government of India. A seminar on "Threat to Religious Freedom in Fiji" was organised in Delhi on 13th September, 1988 presided over by Justice S.H. Sheth. Shri A.P. Venkateswaran, former Foreign Secretary, was the principal speaker. Matters regarding persecution of the members of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in USSR and Greece were also taken up with the authorities of those countries. The threat of closure of Bhakti Vedanta Manor (Krishna Temple of ISCON) held out by the Hertsmere Borough Council, U.K. was opposed, Protests in regard to maltreatment of Chakmas and Hindus in Bangladesh were also lodged, and demonstrations were also held in this regard. When relations got strained between Bharat and Nepal, the Governments of both the countries were urged to resolve the differences amicably. Attention of the Bhutanese authorities was drawn to the alleged maltreatment of Hindus in Bhutan. The Ambassador of Bhutan took pains to explain the position in detail. He sent photographs of the King of Bhutan presenting idols of deities to Hindu Temples and attending Hindu functions.

ISKCON is not hinduism right? Then why should hindus in India take up their case?

This is ridiculous.

If the ISKCON claims that they are not hindus, they should politely refuse any offers of help. Adopting double standards makes them as good as Christians and Muslims.
