About this resource

The resource provides insights into how young Hindus perceive their beliefs and practices. It draws on data from a 2023 Hindu Youth Survey, highlighting various aspects of identity, religious practice, and personal beliefs among young Hindus in the UK.

Key findings indicate that a significant majority identify their religion as “Hinduism” and express strong connections to deities such as Shiva, Krishna, and Ganesha. The survey data reveals that many young Hindus view their faith as rooted in family traditions and personal upbringing, while others emphasize the importance of practicing principles like ahimsa (non-violence) in their daily lives.

Additionally, the resource includes personal reflections from young individuals, showcasing the diverse ways they engage with their faith through prayers, meditation, and participation in festivals. The document aims to foster a deeper understanding of contemporary Hindu identities and encourages discussions on how these young individuals navigate their cultural and religious landscapes.
