UK Hindus
Figures show high levels of senior and professional employment among the Jewish and Hindu communities, Mail Online has reported quoting United Kingdom Office for National Statistics.
It has also quoted economist Ruth Lea of the Arbuthnot Banking Group saying: “Jews and Hindus are proportionately so much more successful… There doesn’t seem to be any discrimination here. What these figures say is that if you are determined you can make it.”
Majority of Hindus immigrated to the UK from India and were among the poorest immigrants in the western world. However, other studies have also indicated that Hinduism has an extremely strong emphasis on higher education and hard work. Therefore, the Hindu community has grown financially and professionally in nations like Canada, UK, United States and Australia to be role-model immigrants giving back to their new host nation. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has applauded the drive, hard work, determination and ambition of United Kingdom (UK) Hindus.

When ‘The Chakra’ surveyed some readers, many Hindus indicated they work hard and choose professions such as engineers and doctors to better society and the world. Many also mentioned that they felt happy being taxed in nations that gave them an opportunity to grow their careers and life. Another highlight from the survey was that they felt education is important in a world where some parts of the world are moving backwards socially and economically.
Quoting Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged UK Hindus to do their work with the welfare of the world always in mind. Create higher standards, perform all work carefully guided by compassion and stay away from the fever of ego, Zed adds.
