PRESIDENT MESSAGE We should be fully politically engaged Namaste A thought provoking quote by George Washington, the first US President: “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.” My hope is ever to see Prajapatis among the foremost of communities to rise and fight against the injustices mated on the Hindus in this country and elsewhere. What injustices?, you may say. I ask you to look around you and see how other communities are treated favourably. You will read various reports on the progress we have made through SPA (UK), the branches and many individuals. We are leading the way on many fronts and it is great to see such a strong community. Our community is hailed as one of the best and we need to maintain that status. Prajapatis as individuals, now need to make our personal contributions to the political system. You may know that there is going to be a General Election My vision is for Prajapatis to once again lead the way and make our mark by ensuring that we are fully politically engaged. Leading up to the election, SPA (UK) will be sending out various communications to give you the latest information. I am quite happy to guide you personally if required. On a personal note I would like to thank those who have supported this year’s charity fund raising for WaterAid of nearly £20,000, especially to Leicester branch who raised half of it through a single Dinner and Dance event. My sincere thanks also go to all fellow executives. Working practices of the Charity Trustees will be slightly different because of the revised constitution, but members will benefit from it. I wish you a Happy Deepawali and hope that VS 2071 will bring you all a lot of fulfilment. “$ dõs¡ A“¡ iyc¡ÃR>p Ad¡fuL$p“p„ ‘l¡gp âdyM Äep¡S>® hp¡tiÁV$“¡ L$üy„ lsy„ L¡$ crhóedp„ Ad¡fuL$p vy$r“epdp„ Þepe A“¡ õhs„Ósp“u bpbsdp„ A¡L$ ApNm ‘X$sp¡ v$¡i b“u fl¡i¡.

We are making progress but a lot more needs to be done. We have been successful in establishing for the first time the All Party Parliamentary Group for Hindus (APPG) chaired by Bob Blackman MP for Harrow East. in the middle of 2015. I ask you to go out and vote on polling day. In preparation for that, please find out which of the candidates in your constituency is going to support you and particularly the Hindu cause.
