RSS, Modi’s Hindutva fountainhead, now spending millions to influence US Congress
Experts say the India-based far-right group hiring an American lobbying firm to influence US lawmakers without disclosures is tantamount to foreign meddling.

India’s RSS, the far-right Hindu group behind decades of anti-Muslim violence and the ideological fountainhead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP party, is quietly spending big bucks to influence members of the US Congress through top lobbyists.

The move has raised questions of legality and transparency. The onboarding of lobbying firms by the group accused of fomenting hate towards Muslims seemingly lacks regulatory filings that are mandatory under US law.

An investigation carried out by independent media outlet Prism showed that the first-ever US lobbying push by the 100-year-old RSS has violated disclosure rules.

In contrast to President Trump’s first term in office (2017-21), India’s standing in the US has suffered significant setbacks over the last 11 months.
Trump has imposed a relatively high tariff (50 percent) on Indian imports, and called it a “dead economy”.

Much to New Delhi’s chagrin, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May when the two countries engaged in a massive aerial battle. India denies that US mediation played any role in ending the conflict.
