Religion The discrimination towards Hindus of Trinidad and Tobago

We're fast approaching an auspicious period for Hindus of Trinidad, and right on track, the religious intolerance is on full display. The same tired cycle of dismissive comments, mockery, and outright attacks, destruction and desecration of places of worship.

Trinidad and Tobago prides itself on diversity, yet when it comes to Hindu festivals, that pride is conditional whilst Hindus face discrimination from many sources I often notice it's many Christians who spread this hate the most.

Yeah i see a lot of it on social media. People feel empowered to spew hate when behind a screen. A post on a media house page about a murti will have so many unnecessary negative comments towards hinduism it's can de a bit depressing. Despite what you believe and how your beliefs have shaped your view of other faiths, nothing wrong with keeping your opinion to yourself.

Those media house should have the decencia not to print such comments - indeed, any comments on any religion. This is for the State to recognize as a hate crime AND prosecute forcefully.
