No Hinduphobia

Published in the Spectator

Sir: Samir Shah’s article (‘Hinduphobia’, 20 June) poses interesting questions. For a minority anywhere to succeed, they have to respect the ethos and values of the country they live in. The British Hindu community does that with pride. In the IT industry, medicine, the armed forces and business, Hindus are making their presence felt. Among the great British public there is no Hinduphobia, and the community does not have any interest in playing the victim card.
