The recent appointment of a Hindu nationalist community leader to an interfaith council under the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has raised “concern”.In September, the DHS appointed Chandru Acharya – a director at the Hindu Sawamsayvak Sangh (HSS) – to their Faith-Based Security Advisory Council, a 25-member council that provides the federal department with “advice and recommendations”.But activists and academic groups in the US have raised concerns about HSS’s association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), an Indian Hindu supremacist organisation that aims to make India, a multicultural and secular democracy, a Hindu Rashtra (nation).
