	Sangh Parivar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sangh Parivar is a loose "family" of organizations, which promote the ideology of Hindutva.
		The word parivar means family in Hindi, so the term Sangh Parivar is used to refer to the family of organisations affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
		Sangh's work is not restricted to its outward institutional form only, but is multi-dimensional, extending beyond the boundaries of 'sanghasthan'.

	Historical Pedagogy Of The Sangh Parivar
		Almost all of the Sangh’s present politics uses images of the past as both referent and justification: that is, most recommendations for present-day activity are projected as responses, reactions to the past.
		The Sangh is deeply uncomfortable with the entire exercise, since the only operation of power that it tries to identify is that of non-Hindus over Hindus –; an identification that becomes untenable in the Indian situation where the Hindu majority is overwhelming and the religious minorities vulnerable in terms of material and political resources.
		Sangh schools follow the regular school board curricula and examination system, even using the older NCERT history textbooks since no better alternative could be found that would enable their children to compete with other schools.

	Disenchantment of Sangh Parivar with Vajpayee: An Analysis
		The Sangh Parivar however, never raised any objection against Vajpayee being projected as Prime Ministerial candidate in the election because the country had entered an era of coalitional politics and there was no alternative to him in the BJP, who would be acceptable to the party’s allies.
		The leaders of Sangh Parivar then started raising their voice against the reactive policy of his Government on Kashmir issue and also his new economic policy, which was against the Swadeshi concept of the BJP.
		The Sangh Parivar cadres viewed induction of Bangaru Laxman, a nonentity in the BJP as Party president as an attempt of Vajpayee to keep the party under his personal control.

	The Sangh strikes
		But the RSS shut out such a possibility by insisting that the Parivar's existing understanding of Jinnah and his politics, which "led to the partition of the country and the killing of thousands of innocent people" is not open to debate.
		The Sangh Parivar imputed to it a meaning which went much beyond the demolition of a mosque; it was construed as a symbolic act avenging a historical wrong committed by Muslims.
		The other wings of the Sangh Parivar were none too happy with the reluctance of the BJP leadership to pursue an undiluted communal course.

	Setback to a strategy
		Throughout the six years that the party was in power, the Sangh Parivar raised "multispeak" to the level of strategy and sought to occupy the spaces of both the ruling power and the Opposition.
		The Agra shivir stated that the Sangh Parivar would come up with an alternative model of economic development by 2002 and that until it was developed, organisations such as the SJM would guide the NDA government wherever it went wrong, on a case-to-case basis.
		Central to this situation, informed sources told Frontline, was the perception in the major Sangh Parivar outfits and sections of the RSS that the six-year stint in power had corrupted a large majority of BJP leaders and converted them into power-mongers, with no commitment to the core ideology of Hindutva.

	Hindutwa's Foreign Direct Investment In Hatred
		Because, ironically, it is the Sangh Parivar, with its constant evocation of a (fabricated) Indian "tradition", which constitutes the most globalised political force India has yet seen.
		But during the last decade, the Sangh Parivar groups have usefully incorporated many of these caste organisations into their own networks and effectively taken control of this flow of funds.
		One effect of this is to further deepen the divisions among South Asian communities, as the discourses of the state, the media and the Sangh Parivar "community leaders" intersect.

		That the BJP-in-Government and the Parivar are working together on the issue is evident from the daily actions of the VHP, the Bajrang Dal, the RSS, the `sants' and the MPs and the Ministers.
		The Sangh Parivar's definition of "cultural nationalism" does violence to the definition of India as given by the Constitution, which is a fundamental framework for the governance of our country.
		The BJP and the Sangh Parivar are fundamentally opposed to the philosophy of a liberal, pluralist and democratic Constitution.

		When the RSS Parivar was entrusted with police duties in 1965, and it performed the same to the satisfaction of all-even Muslims began to join Jana Sangh.
		To the professional detractors of Jana Sangh JP's categorical response was: "If Jana Sangh is communal then I am also communal." As the opposition parties won election after by-election, the cry ran through the country: "Sinhasan khali karo, ki janata aati hai".

		A second focus is the fundraising activities of Sangh Parivar organisations in Britain, which enjoy the official status of registered charities, a major factor enabling them to raise funds on a large scale.
		Sangh Parivar groups, along with other right-wing religious groups, are also planning to take advantage of the government’s new policy of promoting state funded ‘single faith’ schools.

		This meeting, somewhat unprecedented, was the fallout of mounting criticism from the sangh parivar that Mr Vajpayee and his government were increasingly drifting away from the agenda of the sangh parivar.
		The revival of the Ramjanmabhoomi agitation and the pogrom in Gujarat were clear signs that militants within the sangh parivar were flexing their muscles and attempting to push Mr Vajpayee into a corner.
		The sangh parivar’s attempt to intervene in the processes of government is another instance of the blurring of distinctions between the party and state, noticeable also in West Bengal.

		The Sangh with its total commitment to the actualisalion of 'Swatantra', in other words the Hindu ethos, keeping itself away from the powers-that-be, from 1947 onwards, began on its own to extend its influence to varied Fields of social life.
		In 1948, after the assassination of Gandhiji, when the Sangh was unjustly banned, the exuberant student and youth force, which until then was active in the Shakha work only, was mobilised to contact the public with issues of national interest, particularly the draft constitution which was then being debated in the Constituent Assembly.
		While the Sangh was by itself effective in organising the Hindus and inculcating in them healthy 'samskars' like discipline and social consciousness, the need for Vishwa Hindu Parishad began to be fell in the sixties, for augmenting certain grey areas of the activities of the former.

		Speaking at the party's national executive meet in Mumbai, he said the BJP was possibly caught in a dichotomy between governance and politics and its political strategy was perhaps not prudent.
		In its resolution, the BJP pledged to rededicate itself to ideology and idealism, in what is considered a possible return to an aggressive Hindutva plank.

		However, this interest ties in neatly with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (the RSS, which is the backbone of the Sangh Parivar) own technique of running schools as a way of recruiting members and imparting appropriate ideological orientation.
		The Sangh Parivar hopes to include them within the Hindu fold since their larger project demands that only Hindus should be considered native inhabitants of India.
		In this effort, it has been aided by various Sangh Parivar organisations in the US that have done extensive publicity for IDRF, completely excluding several other worthy groups whose “fault” is that they typically fund non-sectarian organisations in India.

		The BJP could not take forward the Ram temple issue for obvious reasons — the matter was in a court; there was a second party, Muslims, involved in the dispute; and the BJP's allies in the National Democratic Alliance did not want the issue to be raked up.
		The insurance sector was opened to foreign direct investment (FDI) turning upside down not only the Sangh's approved policy but also the BJP's own resolution on this issue, and without taking either the Sangh or the BJP president at the time, Kushabhau Thakre, into confidence.
