[edit] Creation
It lobbied for the rights of Hindusin Bali after Hinduism became a state sponsored religion (along with Buddhism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism) in 1959. From 1960-64 it was known as Parisada Hindu Dharma Bali'. In 1964 however it began to stress a religious rather than regional character and changed its name to Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia[1]
[edit] Religious Efforts
It sent out many Balinese missionairies to outlying areas like Medan [2]. In 1992, the Parisada hosted the Vishva Hindu Parishad conference in Bali, indicating a building of bridges with the worldwide Hindu community[3].
[edit] In Politics
It is the highest religious body in Bali and is given an official sanction by the government to look maters of Hindu law. The PHDI in this manner has become a rallying organization for the preservation of Hindu customs.[4]
The PHD has contested Indoneisa's demographic counts, saying that the 6,501,680 count (given by the government of Indonesia) grossly undercounts the Hindu population,[5] staing that it is closer to 18 million [6]
[edit] On Law
The Parisada has lobbied for building restrictions near temples and places of worship in Bali [7]
