Can we learn from Jewish and Muslim communities?
The Muslim community have been open in their plan to influence critical paths of governance in the UK via the Labour Party. And to that extent they are succeeding. Just have a look at the Labour front bench and the number of Muslim councillors, even under Keir Starmer.
The Jewish community have become power brokers in the Conservative party,
but they have done so quietly. It is estimated that some 25% of the membership of the Tory party might well be Jewish. Brilliant. Because once you have the numbers; you can exercise influence.
Our community invested heavily in Labour from 1950's onwards, but have little to show for this support, the party never gave anything back. Our community is often deluded in thinking that politicians will honour their side of the pact. Today it’s clear that Labour is on the side of the Muslim community. Keir Starmer might visit a few Mandirs to get photos, write a letter for Diwali, but where it counts, the appeasement continues, and the Hinduphobia within Labour continues.
So, what is the answer? Well in the first place Hindus need to wake up and smell the coffee. They need to understand their own negligence, their own stupidity, and their own failures. There is no point in people screaming their heads off, but without the intelligence to look at the bigger picture. If our community wants to be a driving force, then you need to become not just members of a political party, you need to become an active member. You need to understand the politics of party politics to understand how things are really done.
For example, say 10% of our community became members of the Conservative party. That means some 40000 new members for the Tories. That would represent about 25% of the Tory party membership! With that level of presence, the community can enter proper dialogue with the party top tier.
There are only two parties in modern day British politics that will govern, namely the Conservatives or Labour. Just ask yourself, where can you make the biggest impact, and where might you get the best return? If the politics of the past decade has not shown you the path forward, then get some help.
There is however a new awakening. Many more from our community are beginning to realise that their involvement in politics is not only good for them and their community, but also for the well-being of the nation. Our community contributes positively in every spere of life where we have a presence. In the field of politics, we can bring a breath of fresh air, of truth and of justice that is the very embodiment of Sanatan Dharma. Our involvement enhances and improves British values for all. At this time, Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains gather to celebrate Diwali. They are givers rather than takers.
If you are stirred into doing something in politics and public life, then the following links take you to the party membership portal. It's your choice, make it, live with it, and take responsibility.

This year we had a double celebration, one for Diwali and one for PM Sunak in his monumental and history making achievement. We salute a nation that welcomes a British Hindu of Indian origin to become their PM. PM Sunak has made it clear, his first duty is to the nation, and his last duty is also to the nation. He is not just our Prime Minister; he is the nations’ PM. On the cusp of global haemorrhaging in finance, energy, food production, national security and governance, our nation needs a Prime Minister who is serious in intent, and calm under pressure. In PM Sunak the nation places their hope. Now it is for all of us to mirror his strengths and work to get our nation to a better place.
