Hindus ask Denmark to stop Roma deportations
Hindus ask Denmark to stop Roma deportations
July 16, 2010 Hindus are asking for immediate end to reportedly forcible mass deportations of Roma from Denmark. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that instead of cracking down and raids on minority Roma brothers and sisters and stereotyped approach, Denmark should come up with a comprehensive strategy to rehabilitate them and make them productive partners of the community. Were not Roma Europeans? Was freedom of travel anywhere in European Union for all Europeans or it was just for “Europeans minus Roma”? Roma had reportedly been in Europe since ninth century CE, how long more they had to reside in Europe to prove that they were “real and equal” Europeans like any other, Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, asked. This reported maltreatment of Roma in Denmark was simply inhuman and outside even European Union norms and should end, Rajan Zed argued. Europe’s most persecuted and discriminated community, Roma were reportedly facing apartheid conditions in Europe. Roma reportedly regularly faced social exclusion, racism, substandard education, hostility, joblessness, rampant illness, inadequate housing, lower life expectancy, unrest, living on desperate margins, stereotypes, mistrust, rights violations, discrimination, marginalization, appalling living conditions, prejudice, human rights abuse, etc., Zed pointed out. Rajan Zed stressed that Danish National Church (Folkekirken), which represented about 90 percent of the Danes, should also come out in support of the cause of this distinct ethnic and cultural group of Roma, because religion taught us to help the helpless. Denmark is rated among nations with best quality of life, highest per capita income, and low unemployment. Its literacy rate is 100% and its hydrocarbon-rich economy is reported to be booming. http://www.webnewswire.com/node/553286 |

In this case the 'mass deportations' involved 23 individuals who were in the county illegally and implicated in criminal activity. Rather than imprison them in Denmark the authorities sent them back to their home countries. |

Hindus ask Denmark to stop Roma deportations
"As money is a big question the general feeling is turning against these
migrants and their problems, begging on the streets, prostitution, petty crimes. In Finland begging is being made illegal so that these people could be deported legally. Now that even Hindu politicians are showing interest the question turns more and more complex. After all, these people came originally from India a few hundred years ago, but are now EU citizens." So the reason for deportation are civil and legal not ethnic in and of themselves. The nordic countries have accepted many ethnic groups clearly so another factor had to be at work. The rom, or gypsies started on their western migration perhaps as long as 1500 years ago from s. asia. They went not only west into europe but into central asia also. It is a clear example of a western movement of an indueuropian language moving counter the movemnt in history. In europe their religion tends to be that of the region in which they reside so any support for their plight of clear oppression in many places has nothing to concern a hindu "authorty" then any oppression anywhere. Is this "authority" speaking of oppression in africa or even in s. asia? |
