The Hindu Forum of Britain (HFB), "which represents 260 Hindu organisations in Britain," claims that "A rising number of Hindus are the victims of hate crimes, partly as a backlash from the London suicide bombings," according to the Independent (UK).

Specifically, a representative from the HFB said:

"hate crime" incidents ranged from verbal and physical attacks on worshippers to graffiti and vandalism at Hindu temples. In one of the most recent attacks, paving slabs with swastikas scratched on them were thrown through the windows at a hall in Basingstoke, Hampshire, while a religious meeting was taking place.
