The Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV), which focuses on uniting Hindu communities and advocating for their rights, indeed has a historical context involving key figures like Swami Sathyananda Saraswathi and J. Sisupalan. According to available accounts, Swami Sathyananda Saraswathi is often cited as the first chairman of HAV, while J. Sisupalan is recognized as the first president.
J. Sisupalan played a significant role in shaping the idea behind HAV. He reportedly collaborated with Swami Sathyananda Saraswathi to form the organization. Before this, Sisupalan was involved with the Kerala chapter of the Hindu Munnani, serving as its State General Convenor. The Hindu Munnani in Kerala ceased its activities when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) started functioning in the state, which paved the way for Sisupalan to co-found HAV.
It would be valuable to verify these details through credible sources, as there seems to be a lack of well-documented citations regarding the early history of the Hindu Aikya Vedi.
The HAV also funded the restoration of two large temples in the village of Kesalingayapalli and also implemented certain policies that made the village more Hindu, from ordering children to read the Bhagavad Gita every night to banning Christian evangelists from entering the village. Pleased by the success of their policies, the HAV also applied the same policies to other villages.[1]
HAV has been associated with supporting comments on the beef ban in the state of Maharashtra. [2]
