INSIGHT UK statement on the Manchester Airport incident
INSIGHT UK strongly objects to the use of the term “Asian” to describe the individuals involved in the recent Manchester airport incident. The individuals in question were neither Indian nor Hindu. The conflation of British Hindus and Indians with the broader “Asian” identity often leads to a misrepresentation of Indian and Hindu values and behaviours, which are fundamentally peaceful.
A few days after the 2024 General Election concluded in the United Kingdom, a peculiar article targeting British Hindus appeared on a little-known site called Scroll.in . “How Hindutva is playing a silent role in British politics”, written by Shoaib Daniyal, is mostly duplicitous propaganda drivel. Badly researched and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, Scroll’s journalistic integrity lies in tatters.
Sanātana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism) has a deep-rooted historical footprint in Jammu & Kashmir. The region has been a significant centre for Sanātana Hindu Dharma for millennia.

Cow vigilantes are a problem, not the illegal smugglers

Hindus in Democracy: UK General Election 2024
The UK General Election has been declared to take place on the 4th of July 2024. As British Hindus & Indians, we see politics as a taboo topic.

Crimes against Hindu women are not covered in the same way as crimes against Muslim women
The BBC has lacked balance in this area. The BBC covered an article specifically about Muslim women receiving rape threats on the Clubhouse app in India. It also gave coverage on an app that was apparently there to put a small list of Indian Muslim women up for sale in what appeared to be an online trolling case.
Citizen Amendment Act 2019 (CAA): Bursting the Myths
In December 2019, the Parliament of Bharat (India) passed the Citizen Amendment Act and in March 2024, after enduring a four-year struggle, the detailed rules outlining the qualifications and procedures of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2019 were officially notified in the Gazette of India on 11th March 2024.

Kashmir coverage lacking balance
The BBC has a dedicated “Kashmir” tag for articles about the state. It appears to have a keen focus and interest in the region which was fractured during partition, after Britain drew the partition line and quit India.
Why so much hostility towards India and her Parliament?
As Bhārat (India) looked back on 2023, there were 2 pivotal events that stood out; the first was the inauguration of the new Parliament building complex and the second one was the successful landing of Chandrayāna, Bhārat’s indigenous rover on the moon. However, the hostility towards these events by the Western media was unwarranted.

A fusion of science and spirituality in Sanatan Dharma
As the world enters the age of Artificial Intelligence, it is a certainty that new inventions and scientific breakthroughs are going to be of paramount importance for India to be a leading global power.
