A London-based organisation has launched a new reporting platform for anti-Hindu hate crime amid concerns about rising religiously motivated offences across the UK. The Anti-Hindu Hate Monitor, accessible online, aims to gather evidence of both in-person and online attacks against Hindus.
Harrow, home to London’s largest Hindu community, has seen “worrying reports” of residents feeling targeted or unsafe in public spaces. Faith-based hate crimes increased 23% between January and April, with 1,023 incidents reported compared to 839 during the same period last year, according to Met Police figures.
Previously, no formal system existed for reporting anti-Hindu hate. The platform was created after concerns about under-reporting were first raised last year at City Hall. It is based on a similar website for reporting antisemitic hate incidents.
The monitoring system was developed by Ornicha Daorueng, a researcher at the International Centre for Sustainability, after her research found growing concern around anti-Hindu hate but no formal recording system. The Community Security Trust, which processed over 3,700 antisemitic reports in 2025, helped develop the platform.
Despite being the third largest religious group in the UK, ICfS says Hindus face hostility that is “poorly defined, inconsistently recorded, and largely absent from policy conversations.”
Daorueng stated, “Without reliable data, effective policy is difficult to develop. This platform creates a dedicated reporting route, improving data quality and building a better understanding of anti-Hindu hate.”
Hindus in Britain now have a formal mechanism to document and combat religious hatred against their community.
