| NCHT(UK) commemorates the heroic sacrifices of 161,000  Indian Soldiers in the two World Wars.. 2.5 million Indians served in the two world wars and over 161,000 gave their lives in the defence of their traditions, their nation and for the safety of the innocent and vulnerable of all nations.. At 11.00 am on Sunday 9th November 2014, a Commemorative ceremony is held to honour those who have made the highest sacrifice in the greatest wars in recent history. As the clock strikes 11.00 am silence descends as the Royal Family, the Ministers and Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces and representatives of the Commonwealth lay wreaths at the Cenotaph. Less known is that representatives of the Faiths in the United Kingdom, are also present and the National Council of Hindu Temples has for many years had the honour to offer Sharadhanjali for these fallen heroes and we will be doing so again this year with Satishji (General Secretary) and Madhuji (Commns Officer) attending. For those who are unable to attend in person, the BBC will be covering the ceremony fully. To watch live on BBC IPlayer click here... NCHTUK's General Secretary, Satish K Sharma will be representing the Dharmic perspective in the forthcoming Parliamentary Debate, "Religious Power: Risk & Regulation", which will examine Religious Authority, its regulation and the extent to which that regulation has failed to safeguard against human rights breaches in the UK. 
Religion has long been used as a weapon to sanction violence and justify wrongdoing, often held hostage by the disillusioned and dangerous, whether in Islam, Christianity and other Faiths. Abuse, violence and crime within a religious setting is perhaps one of the most controversial areas within human rights law, inciting strong feeling both within the religious community and the non-practising public at large. Religion creates a troubling paradox: the preservation of privacy within worship, and the protection of our most vulnerable in a setting where we know human rights abuses can and do take place. Can we then reconcile these two principles, and if so, how can reconciliation be achieved without compromising fundamental human rights? Satishji will be joined on the Panel by Baroness Cox, Sheikh Dr M Al Hussaini, Rabbi Dr Jonathon Romain and other senior members of the Clergy, legal experts and other authorities in the area of Religious Power.
