An umbrella organisation such as the Hindu Forum of Britain can deliver key aspirations of the Hindu Community and help build cohesive communities that co-exist harmoniously.
The key principle for representative bodies is broad based participation by community organisations and widespread consultation on key issues.
In this regard, the Hindu Forum has wide support from the regional Hindu councils in the North, West Midlands, East Midlands, Brent, Harrow and large temples and community organisations in most regions of Britain. The Hindu Forum has also established a fully consultative system that has become the driving force for affecting change and delivering projects.
Every Hindu Organisation in the United Kingdom is urged to join this wonderful challenge in an attempt to deliver to the Hindu community, what it rightfully deserves. Let us collectively work for the progress of British Hindus.
