Hindus there are fortunate – no ANIS-like outfits or Hindu-hating “environmentalists” to attack traditions.

Editorial Perspective

It is the good fortune of Hindus in Britain that there are no so-called environmentalists or Hindu-hating organisations like ANiS there. Otherwise, they too would have objected to Hindu traditions !
