Do all members of the HSC support the Sangh Parivar?
No, we are sure and have repeatedly emphasized that most of the young desi Americans who join the HSC have no clue as to the connections between the HSC and the Sangh Parivar. They join the HSC seeking spiritual engagement, taking at face value its claim of being a forum “to learn about Hindu heritage”. We trust that they wouldn’t willingly associate themselves with or let themselves be used by the Sangh Parivar. The deception we highlight in our report is that of the HSC leadership — primarily at the national level, and occasionally also at the chapter level — that misleads and misuses its members’ positive desire for spiritual engagement.
