British-Sikhs are set to stage a protest against the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist parliamentary group in India. The protest against Mohan Bhagwat will take place on 30 July during his visit to the UK, where he has been addressing Hindus from Britain and Europe.

Bhagwat told the Press Trust of India that he would be attending a number of gatherings of Hindus that have been organised to mark the golden jubilee celebrations of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), which has drawn inspiration from his RSS group. However, some British-Seeks have hit out against the decision to allow Bhagwat into the UK, accusing him of "spreading hate".

Gurjeet Singh, spokesperson for the Sikh Federation UK, told IBTimes UK: "Following Indian government pressure the terror group chief has been allowed to enter the UK and spread religious and ethnic hate at a European-wide conference. The RSS presents a significant threat to religious and ethnic minorities in India with the declaration that they will ensure India becomes a Hindu Rashtra by 2021."

Singh noted that the RSS group has been banned in India several times, including when their member Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 and after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992. Some have also blamed the RSS for forcing thousands of people to covert to Hinduism, while attacking Dalits, Muslims and Christians since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014.

Singh said: "Groups like the RSS have an objective of attacking the Sikh faith so it leads to its eventual assimilation and is driving a campaign to convert Muslims and Christians to Hinduism by force. Intolerance and attacks against women have reached epidemic levels in India."

Protests against the RSS chief are due to take place on 30 July from 1pm GMT at the Hertfordshire County Showground near Luton. This is where Bhagwat will be speaking for the HSS anniversary celebrations and the event is expected to be the first time that he has ever addressed such a big gathering of Hindus in the UK.

RSS sources told the Press Trust of India that the event aims to "bring all like-minded Hindus together from across Europe", as well as encourage the younger generations to "connect with their cultural heritage". They also said that it would allow Bhagwat to present the "perfect model" of the "Hindu-family" to countries around the world.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
