Hindu Munnani is a

Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Hindu Munnani was set up by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)[1] 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.[1]

The organisation promoted a Hindu identity and used it as a

Al Umma.[1]

The activities of R.S.S., Hindu Munnani and Hindu Makkal Katchi continued uninterrupted under Jayalalitha. The BJP alliance with AIADMK led to further spread of RSS ideology in Tamil Nadu. These organisations used religious festivals to combine their strength and caused riots.[1]

Activities

The Hindu Munnani first gained public awareness in 1982 when it began to incite the Hindu population of Ramanathapuram district against the Meenakshipuram conversions by Ishaatul Islam Sabha of South India.[2][3]

However, the most remarkable achievement of the Hindu Munnani was the organisation of

Vinayaka Chathurthi processions in Tamil Nadu.[4][5][6][7] On 16 May 2006, the Hindu Munnani organised the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the installation of the shivalinga in the Jalakanteswarar temple in Vellore.[8]

The

Vinayaga Chathurthi celebrations organised by the Hindu Munnani were often accompanied by sporadic incidents of communal violence.[9][10] In 1993, there were bomb attacks made on the R.S.S. state headquarters at Chintadripet, Chennai.[2] Islamic organisations were found guilty for the blasts and a crackdown was launched on extremist Islamic organisations.[2]

During the visit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L. K. Advani and Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Coimbatore in 1998, a series of thirteen blasts rocked the city, killing over fifty-eight people. The Coimbatore bombings were considered a response to the 1997 Coimbatore riots.[13][14]

In 2007, there were clashes between the Hindu Munnani and the

Karunanidhi.[15] DMK cadres attacked the Hindu Munnani state headquarters in Chennai on motorbikes.[16]

In September 2017, Six members of Hindu Munnani were arrested in connection with the murder of CPI member K. Kanagaraj in Virudhunagar district, Tamil Nadu.[17]

In March 2020, Hindu Munnani attacked a mosque in Coimbatore during a communal tension.[18]
