Growing up as a Hindu girl in Slough

Nidhi Bhatia

It is generally understood that Muslims and Sikhs dominate Slough. However,
unknown to many, there is also a large Hindu community in Slough. The only
difference is that Muslims and Sikhs are vocal, whilst Hindus lurk beneath
the wood works. At least that is my experience as a Hindu growing up in
Slough.

Here in US, I see it everyday so many hindu parents raising their kids in complete religious vacuum. Just recently saw whole Navratri and Vijayadashmi pass by, these parents did not even mention or explain significance of these days, but the same ones go so quickly to buy christmas tree and put presents around them and then explain we do this cuz our kids feel left out. Makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about their religious identity just after two generations. But then when parents themselves are clueless about Hindu beliefs what will they teach their children?
