There is no doubt that Indian Missions provide consular services. The engagements arising through the Pravasi Bharati has even led to improvement. Some programs have been introduced for the Middle East region. The loss of sleep suffered by the Prime Minister over Haneef, points to the Indian Government being especially responsive to Muslim concerns. Just as in the UK, they are politically mobilised in their engagement with their governments in a way Hindus are not. The Muslims have institutions vested with millions of pounds in the UK representing Muslim interests at every level of British society. The only organisation of note, the Hindu Forum of Britain is poorly funded as most similar confederacies here and could not function except for some small grants awarded for special projects in which the Government has an interest. When the UK is home to no shortage of Indian billionaires, you might be forgiven for thinking that not one of them could find money from their small change to establish Hindu society on a firm and sure footing. A good example is with Laxmi Mithal who has found time to Chair China's Earthquake relief efforts, but his Hinduism has been confined to the manner of all our people on 70 million expenditure lavished on his daughter's wedding. In fairness he contributed to the Indian Earthquake efforts. In comparison to sacrifices lavished on our own vanity, the poor soul languishing in trouble has a cat in hell in chance of any charity and sympathy.
