We are committed to protecting the right of individuals to freely practise their religion and we will not tolerate anti-Hindu hatred in any form. The Government's Places of Worship Protective Security Funding Scheme has provided physical security protection measures to places of worship across England and Wales that are particularly vulnerable to religiously motivated hate crime, including 26 Hindu temples.
