This never used to be an issue in Canada.

However, in recent years many Hindu extremists have migrated to Canada and have begun partaking in practices that blatantly pollute Canadian rivers and lakes.

It seems like it's almost every day that videos are coming out of idols and other garbage being thrown into pristine bodies of water due to Hindu ritual worship practices.

Is there any advocacy that Sikhs can do to stop Hindu extremists from polluting Canadian lakes and rivers with idols and waste from their ritualistic practices?

As Sikhs and as Canadians, what can we do to condemn this Hindu extremism and help protect Canadian lakes and rivers from pollution so they don't become toxic like the Ganges which is allegedly a Hindu god?

I feel like Sikh groups can and should try to come together with moderate, non extremist, Hindu groups and do advocacy work to patrol and disrupt these ritual practices that dump waste into pristine rivers and lakes.

Ultimately, if people go out to enjoy nature and find garbage and broken Ganesh statues on the shore, it's only going to damage the reputation of everyone with Indian heritage regardless of our religion, culture, and affiliations.

It's in the best interest of all South Asian Canadians to stop Hindu extremists from polluting rivers and lakes.

Maybe an interfaith group can come together to monitor when these extremists are getting together to throw stuff into a lake and river and block / disrupt them from doing so?

Like why can't these Hindu extremists fill an inflatable pool in their Mandir parking lot and dump statues in it? Why do they have to pollute lakes and rivers? It's blatant disregard for Canada and its beautiful environment.
