sangh parivar

The Sangh Parivar is a loose "family" of organisations, including political parties, which promote the ideology of Hindutva. Contrary to popular belief, Hindutva is not based on the Hindu religion, but rather a nationalist feeling of Hindu community, and the supporting of ethnic stereotypes about Muslims. It has its origins in the late nineteenth century independence struggles against the British Empire and against Islamic fundamentalism. Sangh organisations are considered to be on the political "right" wing. The Sangh Parivar played an important role in the 2002 Gujarat violence, during which the ethnic stereotypes against Muslims translated into the physical reality of the mass killing of Muslims. This is a concrete example of why the Sangh is considered by many to be fascist. Some of its organisations as of 2003 include:
