Another Arson attack on Fiji’s Hindu Temples

Ashwin Krushna Shashthi/Saptami

Fiji: Another Hindu Temple in Fiji has been destroyed by fire. Over night the Shiu Hindu Temple, near Nadi, was burnt down, with Fiji Police confirming the fire was deliberately lit. Built nearly 100 years ago by Indians brought to Fiji to work as indentured labour in the cane fields, the Shiu Temple was one of the oldest in the country. Its destruction comes after three other temples near Suva were burnt down on the same night last week.

And while no one is making the link, the attacks also come amid growing unhappiness in the indiginous population over what’s perceived as the growing influence of the Indo Fijian community, which is primarily Hindu, in the interim government.
