UK protests against the harassment of Hindus in Kazakhstan but India unaware

Houses and temples of Hindus are being destroyed by Kazakh authorities in the Karasai District in Kazakhstan. Land, barns and cows have been confiscated simply because they are Hindus. The attacked Hindus are members of ISKCON Kazakhstan. Several British Hindu organizations have registered protest.

From Times of India:

In an effort to highlight the plight of Hindus in Kazakhstan, Ashok Kumar, Member of Parliament, has tabled an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons.

The motion said: "This House, prior to the visit of the President of Kazakhstan, condemns the harassment of and discrimination against Hindu minorities in Kazakhstan.

It further notes that Kazakh Hindus who applied for ownership of their houses were asked to declare that they were not Hindus, while non-Hindus who made similar applications were immediately granted ownership rights. The motion also acknowledges that the Supreme Court reviewed two cases regarding Hindu cottages and ruled against Hindus, without inviting the plaintiffs to the hearings.

Hindus in Britain have registered their protest and have made Tony Blair take up the issue with the visiting Kazakhstan president. Hindus in the UK, United States, Canada, Australia, and several other countries have condemned the attack on Hindus. But our political class in Delhi seems to be totally unaware of the events in Kazakhstan.

These attacks have been going on for sometime but it is now that the Indian Press has started reporting it.

Who cares if Hindus are harassed or killed for their religion? Divide them in the name of caste, language and rule over them.
