Sangh Parivar

Dr. Rajendra Singh,( डा. राजेंदर सिंह ), called popularly Rajju bhaiyya,( रज्जू भईया )^[1], was the former Sarsanghchalak, or chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the largest Hindu nationalist organisation in India.

In the mid-1980s Singh became RSS general secretary and was party to designing the Ram Janmabhoomi strategy.

In 1994 Singh became the first non-Brahmin RSS head and set about "demystifying the secretive organisation and seizing political control"^[2]. He was thus a central part of the campaign that "successfully propelled the BJP from relative political obscurity to the centre stage of Indian politics, through a calculated and cynical campaign centred around "Hindutva" or Hindu hegemony." He resigned his post due to ill-health in 1998, and died in 2003.
