<b>HHR membershipof Hindu Charter Taskforce-Notice of Resignation </b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Namaskar brothers and sisters,
It is with regret that on behalf of Hindu Human Rights I withdraw from the Hindu Charter Taskforce.
Although HHR unreservedly supports the idea of the Hindu Charter itself as long overdue, we have grown concerned at the increasing influence of the organization ISKCON within the the Hindu Charter Taskforce itself.
We have at least four out of the eight members of the Task Force with authoritative/overt/covert links with ISKCON.We have two out the five meetings already scheduled being held at the ISKCONÂ British headquarters of BhaktiVedanta Manor in Hertfordshire- the latest will be held at 8 in the morning of Friday February 11th.
The timing and setting of this planning meeting of the Charter Task Force will have the effect of excluding those who do not live in or close to the Manor itself. The tiiming and setting of this meeting where the content of the Charter will be finalised will have limited input from those who unable to be fully present . In fact already the Balaji temple have only been able to attend one of the meetings so far,whilst the Hindu Council UK have only attended two.
If we look at the pedigee of ISKCON we note that they specifically and openly do not identify themselves as Hindu or with the Hindu cause (see links attached).We wonder, therefore as to what might be ISKCON"s gain in being so intimately involved in the making and dissemination of this Hindu Charter.
We know that many rank and file Hindus are increasingly growing aware of the stance of ISKCON vis-a-vis Hinduism and are also dissatisfied at the ISKCON seduction of their children away from Hinduism itself.
We at Hindu Human Rights call upon the VISHWA HINDU PARISHAD(amongst whose most Senior members are those who apparently support the ideology of ISKCON and to them we most specifically request they read the links attached) to take preemptive action to circumvent the Hindu Charter becoming a vehicle for ISKCON Agenda so that all the plurality of mainstream British Hindus are afforded a genuine voice in Britsh national life which is so desperately needed.
HHR will continue to work at the grass roots level breaking new ground,creating a relevant vision for the mainstream Hindu community and not as Mr xxx yyy [snip]
