Kiwi-Indian MP is co-ordinator of World Hindu Democratic Forum
During his recent visit to India, Mahesh Bindra of New Zealand First and one of the three Kiwi-Indian MPs was appointed the co-ordinator of the World Hindu Democratic Forum for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. This is a huge honour and responsibility, as it instantly puts Kiwi-Indians on the world map.
The World Hindu Democratic Forum’s mission is to support democratic trends and institutions that will lead to the practice of responsible democracy. The World Hindu Democratic Forum (WHDF) builds support for democratic practices by tapping the democratic propensities of more than a billion strong global Hindu populace.
It encourages Hindus around the world to take a greater role in the political process through numerous initiatives.
The forum states that Hindu communities around the world have had a long and glorious tradition of participating in the democratic process around the world by joining forces with their neighbours to strengthen democracy in their home countries.
Within India and outside, anywhere Hindus comprise a significant and visible section of the local population, they have always fought for the values of freedom, liberty and democracy unitedly with their neighbours and fellow countrymen. Hindus have had a long history of fighting against totalitarian and dictatorial regimes. From various corners of the globe ranging from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh—local Hindu citizens have worked in tandem with their fellow citizens to break the chains of dictatorship and colonialism and replaced it with a pluralistic and democratic polity.
In addition, wherever Hindus comprise a significant section of the local population, they uphold a robust tradition of actively contributing to the general welfare as well as living in complete harmony with their neighbours and helping them in accordance with their belief systems by creating numerous employment opportunities, providing assistance in the opening of businesses, and in numerous charitable endeavours.
Currently, Hindus have fully established themselves in many spheres of human endeavour in more than 40 countries. In several countries, many Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers, Governors and Premiers, Parliamentarians, Diplomats, and other important government officials have come from the local Hindu population. The participation of local Hindus in the political process is growing in their respective countries. But so far there has been no proper forum to bring Hindus and their fellow citizens with whom they have worked in the democratic process together to share their knowledge and experience regarding the political process that has benefited the countries around the world where members of the Hindu community reside.
The World Hindu Democratic Forum has been specially established for the purpose of providing a global platform for distinguished the Heads of State, Premiers, Governors, Ministers and Parliamentarians, Diplomats and Bureaucrats, and numerous other people who are presently involved in the political process to assemble and deliberate on issues of global importance.
In addition, WHDF will strive for established and experienced members of the political process to encourage aspiring young Hindus and fellow citizens to become active members of the political process in their local countries as well as share with them their experience and expertise. More importantly, mentoring and guidance will be provided through various means to young Hindus to work alongside their fellow citizens to strengthen democracies in countries where they reside.
