Henry Jackson Society is a far right white supremacy apologist think tank that found a partner of convenience - right-wing Hindus - to further retch up anti-Muslim hatred using selective evidences. Not much difference than neo-Nazi far right apologists reporting on antisemitism.

[The Tatva @thetatvaindia]

A study conducted on over 1000 schools across Britain by the UK-based human rights think tank, Henry Jackson Society, has found that Hindu students in the country are being subjected to bullying and racial discrimination in classrooms.

Citing incidents like Hindu students being bullied to convert to Islam by Muslim classmates, the report has claimed that Hinduphobia is rampant in UK schools. In one incident, beef was thrown at a Hindu pupil, the report added.

In order to conduct this study, the HJS, through Freedom of Information (FOI) posed certain questions to thousand public schools in England which have pupils of Indian heritage, regarding incidents of anti-Hindu hared in school. On the other hand, a survey was circulated among Hindu parents, and 988 parents participated voluntarily.

The results reveal that within the random sample of the schools, 24.2% responded within the legal time frame, and while 71.49% recorded zero incidents, 0.41% recorded one incident of anti-Hindu hate. Within the remaining 28% of responses, 14.05% of schools responded that they did not record bullying to this level of detail whilst still giving a response of zero. They are not included in the ‘zero incidents recorded’ section. 5.7% of schools actively declined to respond. 8.25% gave erroneous responses such as ‘To be handled by the Local Authority’.

“This report highlights the prevalence of discrimination against Hindus in British schools, with 51 per cent of Hindu parents surveyed reporting that their child has suffered anti-Hindu hate at school,” the report said.

“The findings underscore the urgent need for greater awareness and understanding of the Hindu experience in schools and further research into other lesser known types of prejudices that may be manifesting in Britain’s classrooms. It highlights the need for more specific and accurate reporting mechanisms to capture such incidents,” it notes.

Charlotte Littlewood, the author of the report, said her focus on schools emerged over the course of her analysis of the violence that broke out between Hindu and Muslim communities in Leicester last year, in the wake of an India-Pakistan cricket match in the Asia Cup held in Dubai at the end of August.

"What we found was that teachers were playing into the problem, including covering reductive and in some places prejudiced views of Hinduism," said Littlewood.

"If we are to be an equal Britain moving forward, we have to tackle all forms of hate in our classrooms," she said.

Her report notes that some of the discrimination exhibited in the classroom showed similarities to the manifestations of hate witnessed during the unrest in Leicester between Hindus and Muslims.

"There were numerous instances of derogatory references made towards Hindus, such as mocking their vegetarianism and belittling their deities, which were also made by Islamist extremists rallying against the Hindu community in Leicester. Twenty mentions of Hindus being held responsible for politics and social issues in India is reminiscent of the treatment of Jews with regard to Israel and of Muslims in the post-9/11 climate," the report notes.

Key takeaways from a study by a think tank on issued faced by Hindu students in UK schools -
* Muslim pupils are telling their Hindu classmates to change their religion to 'avoid bullying and make their lives easier'
*One girl had beef thrown at her by classmates.
* Hindu kids are facing xenophobic slurs from white pupils. One Christian student said “Jesus will send your Gods to hell.”
* Vegetarianism is mocked and Hindu deities belittled. Kids told ""Hindus are the herbivores at the bottom of the food chain, we will eat you up"
* Calls for Hindu kids to convert or face “threats of hell for disbelievers” using terms such as “kaffir”.
* Religious education was fostering discrimination against Hindus with inappropriate references to the Indian 'caste system' and misconceptions over the worship of deities, making a mockery of them.
* While other religions were given days off for celebrations, Hindu pupils were often not given a holiday for Diwali.

The study by the Henry Jackson Society found that Hindu pupils are being “held responsible” for the actions of India and facing xenophobic slurs from white pupils.

It comes after disorder broke out in Leicester between the Hindu and Muslim communities, which the report warned the same tensions are fuelling discrimination in schools.

Half of Hindu parents said their children had suffered hatred in schools with incidents including a pupil having beef thrown at her by classmates, the report found.

Charlotte Littlewood, a research fellow and former Prevent counter-extremism co-ordinator, spoke to 988 Hindu parents and surveyed more than 1,000 schools around the country.

The report found that Hindus faced discrimination from pupils from varying backgrounds but there were clear similarities between incidents in the classroom and the disorder in the Midlands.

“Some of the discrimination exhibited in the classroom showed similarities to the manifestations of hate witnessed during the unrest in Leicester between Hindus and Muslims,” it noted.

“There were numerous instances of derogatory references made towards Hindus, such as mocking their vegetarianism and belittling their deities, which were also made by Islamist extremists rallying against the Hindu community in Leicester.”

The reports said Hindu pupils were being “held responsible for politics and social issues in India reminiscent of the treatment of Jews with regard to Israel and of Muslims in the post-9/11 climate”.

It found that Muslim pupils called for Hindus to convert or face “threats of hell for disbelievers” using terms such as ��kaffir”.

In one example a child “was harassed and told that if they convert to Islam, their life will become so much easier” and in another told: “You aren’t going to survive very long... If you want to go to paradise, you’ll have to come to Islam... Hindus are the herbivores at the bottom of the food chain, we will eat you up.”

Another parent said children were told to watch videos of an Islamic preacher and to “convert because Hinduism makes no sense”.

Researchers also found evidence of xenophobia including from Christian pupils, with one child told: “Jesus will send your Gods to hell.”

'Religious education fostering discrimination'
The report found that religious education was “fostering discrimination” against Hindus with inappropriate references to the Indian caste system and misconceptions over the worship of deities which students felt made “a mockery of them”.

While other religions were given days off for celebrations, Hindu pupils were often not given a holiday for Diwali.

The study noted that anti-Hindu hate was poorly reported, with only one per cent of schools recording incidents while only 15 per cent of parents surveyed believed schools adequately address anti-Hindu related incidents.

Ben Everitt MP, said the findings were “damning” and called for urgent improvements to religious education.

“The findings in this report are damning and shed light on the varying themes and forms which anti-Hindu discrimination materialises in the classroom,” he said.

He said that as well as discrimination taking the form of anti-Hindu slurs there was “a problematic approach to teaching Hinduism which may be feeding into prejudice, and whether incidents of bullying and discrimination are being adequately dealt with by each individual school”.

He added: “If we want to make real, sustained, long-term progress in reducing discrimination towards those of minority faiths in our schools, then we need to make sure that young people are receiving the best possible education about the many faiths which are woven into the fabric of our diverse United Kingdom.”
