A report published in an American journal has revealed that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu extremist organization based in India, has initiated a significant and costly lobbying campaign aimed at influencing the United States Congress. These activities are reportedly raising concerns within the international community.
The journal reported that the RSS has been spending substantial amounts of money on lobbying efforts abroad, particularly within the United States. Crucially, the report notes that the organization is conducting lobbying activities without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a measure intended to track foreign influence on US policy. This lack of registration poses questions regarding compliance with American law.
The report highlights that the RSS is notoriously known for promoting and perpetrating violence against Muslims. It suggests that the increasing footprint of the organization in the US is part of a broader, concerted effort to rebrand its global fascist image. This lobbying campaign appears to be a strategic move designed to advance the organization’s political and social agenda within the corridors of Washington.
