Hindu Munnani
Hindu Munnani is a rightwing Hindu nationalist organisation based in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Hindu Munnani was set up by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) The organisation was founded in 1980 by Ramagopalan, a member of RSS and since its formation served as the platform for RSS and its subsidiaries known as the Sangh Parivar. The organisation promoted a Hindu communal identity and used it as a political mobilisation strategy.

The militants of the Hindu Munnani used ''vituperative'' and abusive language against the Muslims. The provocative speeches against Islam ...
