Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 UK's home-sick Hindus see Ganga in `polluted' river Bradford, August 27: The river Aire, a polluted waterway that sluices through Bradford in northern England, seems an unlikely spot in the Hindu cycle of reincarnation. But the 6,000-strong local Hindu population is seeking permission from Bradford city council to turn the river into a ``symbolic'' Ganga. It is believed to be the first time Indians living overseas have tried to create a Ganga substitute. The site proposed by the council is a wasteland beneath Apperley Bridge on the city's outskirts. ``I want my ashes scattered here,'' Chairman of the World Council of Hindus in Yorkshire, Morani Gupta said.
