The
Bajrang Dal is a militant Hindu organization that forms the youth wing of the
Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).
[1][2] The ideology of the organization is based on fundamentalist
Hindutva.
[2][3] Founded on 1 October 1984 in
Uttar Pradesh, it has since spread throughout India, although its most significant base remains the northern and central portions of the country. The group runs about 2,500
akhadas, similar to the shakhas of the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The name "Bajrang" is a reference to the
Hindu deity
Hanuman.
The Bajrang Dal's slogan is 'sevā surakṣā sanskṛti' or "service, safety, and culture." One of the main goals of the Dal is to build the
Ramjanmabhoomi temple in
Ayodhya, the
Krishnajanmabhoomi temple in
Mathura and the
Kashi Vishwanath temple in
Varanasi, which are currently disputed places of worship. Other goals include protecting India's "
Hindu" identity from the perceived dangers of
communism, Muslim demographic growth and
Christian conversion, as well as the prevention of cow slaughter.

Origin
In October 1984, the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) initiated the practice of regular processions to be held in
Ayodhya in the state of
Uttar Pradesh. These processions were called "
Ram-Janaki Rathayatra" and were aimed at "awakening the society." While the VHP did not officially claim any anti-religion drivers for this practice, many sections of the society in India viewed this as a pro-Hindu movement. As a result, there was an environment of communal tension and threat surrounding this procession. Under these circumstances, 'holy saints' (members of VHP) called upon the youth to protect the procession, thus the Bajrang Dal was formed. Eventually, most of the members of Bajrang Dal have come to be very proud of the group and the group now has members outside of
Uttar Pradesh as well.
Ideology and Agenda
Among the goals of the Bajrang Dal in modern India is a reversing of the invasions by Muslim conquerors and British imperialism. They include demands to convert historical monuments currently disputed into temples.
[4] The Bajrang Dal asserts on its website that they are neither communal or divisive. In particular, they say
[5]
"The Bajrang Dal is not against any religion. It acknowledges respecting the faith of other people, but expects and asserts for a similar respect of the Hindu Sentiments. Being Hindu, the Bajrang Dal believes in validity of All Religions and Respect for all human beings, irrespective of caste, color, and religion (Aatmasvat Sarva Bhuteshu). It is for this purpose that the Bajrang Dal has undertaken various public-awakening campaigns. It does not believe in violence or any unlawful activity."
In addition, Bajrang Dal said they would circulate five million handbills, giving details about the activities of Christian missionaries. Bajrang Dal national convenor Surendra Kumar Jain said the outfit would peacefully expose what he described as questionable means adopted by some Christian bodies to convert poor people under a world evangelical plan that specially targeted Hindu-majority India.
[6]
Bajrang Dal, together with the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad, has spoken out against
Islamic Terrorism in India and have announced that they will carry out awareness campaigns across the nation. They have stated that Islamic terrorists are hiding among the general population in India and mean to expose them.
[7] Bajrang Dal convener Prakash Sharma stressed that they were not targeting any particular community, but were trying to "wake up" the people of India, particularly the youth, to the dangers of terrorism in the light of the 2002
Akshardham Temple attack perpetrated by terrorist linked to the militant group
Lashkar-e-Toiba.
[8][9] Bajrang Dal also share VHP's position against the slaughter of cows (regarded as sacred by many
Hindus) and have supported proposed bans on bovine slaughter.

The
Gujarat Bajrang Dal is at the forefront of the anti-beauty contest agitation. Another of its objectives is preventing
Hindu-Muslim marriages.

Controversies
- According to the Human Rights Watch, Bajrang Dal had been involved in riots against Muslims in the 2002 Gujarat violence.[12]
- In April 2006, two Bajrang Dal activists were killed in nearby Nanded in the process of bomb making. The same group of activists were also suspected for perpetrating the 2003 Parbhani mosque blasts.[13] Those arrested later told interrogators they wanted to avenge several blasts across the country.[14] NDTV subsequently accused the police of a coverup in Nanded[15] A report by the Secular Citizen's Forum & PUCL, Nagpur claimed to have found maps of mosques at the home of one of the deceased.[16]
- The VHP leader, Praveen Togadia, was arrested in April 2003 after distributing tridents to Bajrang Dal activists in Ajmer defying ban and prohibitory orders. Togadia asserted that the coming Assembly polls in the Indian state of Rajasthan would be fought on the issue of tridents and attacked the ruling Congress Party for "placating" Muslims for electoral gains. He expressed satisfaction at the publicity received due to the incident.[17]
- The Bajrang Dal has been accused of not allowing Muslims to own land in parts of Gujarat by attacking traders who sell to Muslims and by attacking Muslim homes and forcing the sale of the house or flat. This creates a ghettoisation of large cities in Gujarat, like Ahmedabad and Vadodara.[18]
- On several occasions, acting as "Social Police" the activists of Bajrang Dal have caught un-married couples on Valentines day and forced them to apply sindoor or tie rakhis against their wishes. The activists of Bajrang Dal have often indulged in violence, invading gift shops and restaurants and threatening couples on Valentines day.[19][20][21][22]
- The Bajrang Dal has also been involved in bombmaking accidents on 6 August 2006 in Nanded,[23] and on 24 August 2008 in Kanpur.[24]
- In September 2008, a fresh wave of attacks directed against the Newlife Christian churches and prayer halls in Karnataka by the Bajrang Dal, as a protest against defaming Hindu gods and against religious conversion carried on by the Newlife Missionaries. Later, Mahendra Kumar, the convener of Bajrang Dal was arrested in connection with it even after he publicly announced that they are not responsible for the attacks, after the Center had strongly criticised the state Government. In addition, the National Commission for Minorities has also blamed them for the religious violence in BJP-ruled states of Karnataka and Odisha.[25] However, some police reports claim that the Bajrang Dal was not involved per se and that the attacks were carried out by splinter groups. However, testimonies of Bajrang Dal activists show exactly the opposite, as they described the attacks and openly warned of more violence.[26]
- Starting 14 February 2011, there has been a fresh wave of violence directed at people celebrating Valentine's Day in the city of Kanpur, in the province of Uttar Pradesh. "Offenders", so called, are forced to hold their ears and do sit-ups as punishment for being caught celebrating the "Western holiday". Police have been called in to calm the sectarian violence and discrimination.[27]
Criticism
The
United States Department of State's annual report on international religious freedom for 2000 and World Report (2000) by the
Human Rights Watch labelled this organisation as a Hindu extremist group.
[28][29] Paul R. Brass, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and South Asian Studies at the
University of Washington, described the Bajrang Dal as Indian equivalent of
Nazi Germany's
Sturmabteilung.
[30]
Many Christian leaders took exception to this letter saying that Hinduism is a pluralistic religion. According to them
The term Hindu extremists in the letter is unfortunate because we've maintained that criminals have no religion and whatever happened in August–September, 2008, was never the act of Hindus, said Orissa Minority Front president Swarupananda Patra.
Blaming Hindus doesn't make minorities happy, as they are aware of Hinduism's secular tenant which probably isn't known to the US lawmakers.[31]
Bajrang Dal has also received criticism from moderate
Hindu Nationalist organisations such as the
Hindu Mahasabha. Bajrang Dal has been criticised for adopting the same violent methods as the
Islamic Fundamentalists in their attempt to curb the spread of Islamic terrorism, a move deemed by the Mahasabha to be counterproductive.
[32] In addition, the
Bharatiya Janata Party member and former prime minister of India
Atal Bihari Vajpayee have also come out in criticism of Bajrang Dal. Vajpayee said that the Bajrang Dal "only embarrassed the BJP" and urged the
Sangh Parivar to "rein them in".
[33] After the
Religious violence in Odisha, the
Bharatiya Janata Party Prime Ministerial candidate
L. K. Advani advised the Bajrang Dal to cease association with violence, concerned with the fact that it took pressure off the
UPA government in
Delhi[34]
