Zed urged Europe to eliminate prejudices against its Roma populace
Hindus seek equality in UK marriage law
Hindus are seeking equality for minority religions/denominations in United Kingdom (UK) marriage law.
GOV.UK website, under “Religious ceremonies” in “Marriages and civil partnerships in the UK”, states: “You don’t usually need to give notice with the register office if you’re getting married in an Anglican church...”
In “Jewish and Quaker marriages” and “Non-Anglican Christian marriages and all other religions”: “You need to give notice with the register office at least 28 days before the ceremony”.
Distinguished religious statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, asked: Should not all Britons be treated equally before the law irrespective of their religions/denominations?
Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that it was 21st century now where UK was a diverse society comprising of various faith traditions. UK marriage regulations, seemed to be out of step with the times, needed a serious overhaul treating all religions/denominations at equal level.
Hindus urge Europe to eliminate prejudices against its Roma populace
Hindus are urging for immediate end to apartheid conditions of European Roma in view of findings of the recent Pew Research Center (PRC) survey which concluded that “Roma widely rejected” in Central and Eastern Europe.
The results of survey—“Religious Belief and National Belonging in Central and Eastern Europe”—in 18 countries state that “Roma face the lowest overall levels of acceptance” where only a median of 57% would be willing to accept Roma as fellow citizens, only 37% as neighbors and merely 19% as family members. “Rejection of Roma is particularly widespread in Armenia, where a majority is not willing to accept Roma as citizens of their country”, it adds.
Distinguished religious statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, stressed that if Europe “really and wholeheartedly” wanted Roma social and economic integration, inclusion, and improvement in their daily lives on the ground; a big change of heart, serious motivation, effective implementation, honest feeling of responsibility and firm political commitment were urgently needed, which European Union seemingly lacked.
Various lofty European Council plans/roadmaps/commitments/frameworks/promises/claims, many launched with much fanfare, seemed to be just whitewash and had failed to deliver any concrete outcomes or make any significant impact to end apartheid conditions European Roma faced day after day; Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, indicated.
If somebody had fallacy about Roma plight, he/she just had to visit one of their encampments and their sufferings would be easily visible to the naked eye, Rajan Zed noted.
Actions, and not just discussions, were needed to end the centuries of severe discrimination and abuse of Roma and achieve their social inclusion. It was simply immoral to let this around 15-million population of Europe continually suffer and face human rights violations, Zed said and added that it was moral obligation of Europe to take care of its frequently persecuted Roma community.
Rajan Zed pointed out that the alarming condition of Roma people was a social blight for Europe and the rest of the world as they reportedly regularly faced social exclusion, racism, substandard education, hostility, joblessness, rampant illness, inadequate housing, lower life expectancy, unrest, living on desperate margins, language barriers, stereotypes, mistrust, rights violations, discrimination, marginalization, appalling living conditions, prejudice, human rights abuse, racist slogans on Internet, etc.
This PRC survey was done in Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Greece, Belarus, Ukraine, Estonia, Russia, Romania, Moldova, Latvia, Bosnia, Hungary, Poland, Serbia and Croatia; out of which 10 are members of the European Union. Michael Dimock is the President of PRC, which is a “nonpartisan fact tank” based in Washington DC.
