British Hindus Assert Political Influence as UK Heads to the Polls

This influential group has released a ‘Hindu manifesto’ outlining key priorities and has numerous candidates participating in the electoral process. With the Labour Party leading in opinion polls, the support and concerns of British Hindus could play a decisive role in shaping the election’s outcome and the future policies of the UK government.
