Hindu Rights, Representation & Freedom

We strongly believe in advocating for Hindu rights and freedom, emphasizing our unique identity. Our continuous efforts aim to ensure accurate perceptions of Hinduism and equal respect for Hindus.

In Canada, Hindus constitute a minority, underscoring the critical need for advocacy and representation to safeguard Hindu rights and freedoms. It is imperative that the Hindu community’s voice resonates, ensuring mutual respect and fostering an environment conducive to practicing Hinduism in Canada. Our primary objective is to combat and eradicate Hinduphobia, holding perpetrators accountable, and promoting peace and coexistence, principles deeply rooted in our religious texts.

A notable achievement is our contribution to establishing November as Hindu Heritage Month. This dedicated month celebrates Hindu contributions to Canadian society, showcases our cultural richness, and educates the broader community about our values and traditions.

We pursue our goals through a comprehensive approach involving political engagement, public advocacy, and the promotion of Hindu values, culture and heritage. See details below to learn more.

Political Engagement

To secure representation and protect our rights as a minority religion in Canada, it’s vital for political leaders to grasp our perspectives and needs. We engage extensively with them to assess their alignment with Hindu values and ensure they support our community’s peaceful coexistence. We also educate leaders about misconceptions regarding Hindus and Hinduism, such as caste, Swastika and Hindutva, aiming to foster an environment in Canada where practicing Hinduism is free from discrimination and hostility. Through these efforts, we empower our community to make informed decisions about their representation.
