	The Foreign Exchange of Hate: IDRF and the American Funding of Hindutva
		Sewa International, on its website, also states that it is ‘associated with the IDRF, USA and Sewa International, UK.’ It is interesting to note here that Sewa International, UK calls itself the ‘service project’ of HSS-UK thus providing the usual surfeit of connections between these seemingly independent organizations.
		As we argued in section 2.1 of the main report, the basic focus of Sewa activity as coordinated by Sewa International is the various community activities taken on by the Sangh and the resulting spread of Sangh philosophy in different areas.
		While these four groups are the Sangh targets through Sewa work for “consolidation” into a Hindu order, it is equally true that large numbers of those who are statistically identified as Hindus do not necessarily have a consolidated Hindu identity – that is they are not mobilized into action by their Hindu identity.
