RSS in India

"Aside from, and parallel to, the role of the BJP and Modi in sectarian strife putting Hindus against Muslims in India, the BJP and its allied organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, have forces within them that believe that India under the Congress party and the Gandhis has lost sight of India's glorious role as defender of Hindu interests. The RSS—whose name translates as "National Volunteer Organization"—is a right-wing, paramilitary group founded in 1925, which has long been involved in anti-Muslim violence and which has been banned several times in India's history, including after one of its adherents assassinated Mahatma Gandhi in 1948."
