London: According to the Kashmir Centre London, 37 organisations and public figures co-sign open letter against the visit of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Hindutva Chief Mohan Bhagwat to the UK.According to the letter, Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Mohan Bhagwat is in Britain this week. He is no private pilgrim. He is the supreme leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the cadre organisation at the ideological centre of India's governing project. The RSS has said in its own words what this tour is for. It exists to present a "fact-based and positive perspective" on Bharat, Hindu society and the Sangh, and to widen "dialogue" about the interests and rights of Hindus and people of Indian origin living in these countries. That is political organising on British soil.The letter says four years ago masked men marched through Highfields in Leicester. They chanted slogans that in India today accompany lynchings. Homes were attacked. Neighbours who had shared streets for decades became frightened of one another. An Independent Commission of Inquiry chaired by Professor Juan Méndez, with research carried out at SOAS and the LSE, called that violence unprecedented in modern Britain, deeply damaging and preventable. It found that Hindu nationalist ideas and transnational disinformation had played a documented role.The record of the organisation he leads is a matter of documents, not adjectives. In 1931 the founder's mentor, B. S. Moonje, met Mussolini in Rome and wrote that India needed the fascist youth model for the "military regeneration of the Hindus". A British intelligence file of 1933 warned that the Sangh hoped to be to India "what the Fascisti are to Italy and the Nazis to Germany". In 1939 its second chief, M. S. Golwalkar, held up Germany's purging of the Jews as "race pride at its highest" and "a good lesson for us in Hindusthan". India has banned the RSS three times. Britain's own High Commission found that the Gujarat violence of 2002 had "all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing" .Mohan Bhagwat's own record is on tape. He has claimed the Sangh could mobilise fighters faster than the Indian Army. He has denied that lynching in India is real, calling the word a "western construct". He has made "religion-based population imbalance" a theme of the movement's annual address, which is the replacement argument that circulated in Leicester in 2022. He has personally endorsed the "love jihad" conspiracy theory for twelve years, most recently in January 2026. In 2017 he offered the formula that says everything: Muslims are Hindu by nationality and Muslim only by faith. That is not theology. It is a theory of who counts. He has also said, including in New York last week, that a Hindu who wants no Muslims in India "will not remain Hindu". Those sentences exist. They do not cancel the others. A politics that offers minorities their dignity as a gift from the majority is a hierarchy with better manners on tour.Britain already has the instrument. The Home Secretary may refuse or exclude a person whose presence is not conducive to the public good, and the published criteria cover views that foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence here. This government used that power in 2026 against Valentina Gomez, Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker. After Gujarat, the United States refused Narendra Modi a visa under its religious-freedom statute, and Britain maintained a diplomatic boycott of him for a decade, over violence in which British nationals died. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom now recommends targeted sanctions on the RSS leadership, travel bans included. New York's mayor refused to endorse Mr Bhagwat's event there. A public-good test that bends for this visitor is not a test. It is a preferenceThe letter says we therefore ask the government To:Conduct an individualised public-good assessment of Mohan Bhagwat under the Immigration Rules before he speaks, and if the threshold is met, refuse, cancel or exclude.Withhold every official platform. No minister, envoy, mayor, GLA or MOPAC representative at any event connected with this visit, and no publicly owned venue.Identify and publish who invited him, and which UK organisations are hosting, sponsoring or funding the programme.Direct policing and community-safety planning before the events rather than after an incident.Explain, before Parliament, whether trade negotiations with India have borne on the handling of this visit.Reopen the question of whether funds raised in Britain under charitable registration reach organisations within the Sangh Parivar, this time with powers to compel evidence rather than receive assurances. The Charity Commission has asked that question twice and closed it twice on the trustees' word.The letter says this is not a campaign against Hinduism. Hindutva is a twentieth-century political doctrine wearing a Sanskrit name, and some of the oldest and best Hindu traditions reject it. Hindu organisations are among those invited to sign. Nor is this a campaign against British Hindus, who in Leic ester were as frightened as anyone, and who have the right not to be spoken for by a foreign cadre. It is a campaign about one man, one organisation and one week.Leicester was called preventable. Prevention is a timing problem. Do not host him. Do not flatter him. If the public-good test means anything at all, this is what it was written for.Every claim in this letter is sourced in the long version, which carries twenty-seven footnotes drawn from UK government documents, the Charity Commission, United Nations bodies, Indian official inquiries and peer-reviewed archival scholarship.
