The National Hindu Students' Forum (NHSF (UK)) is a network of Hindu societies operating on university and further education campuses in the United Kingdom. The NHSF (UK) was started in 1991 by young British Hindus, and has chapters on many university campuses around the United Kingdom.[1] The NHSF has been described by historian Edward Anderson as having ties to the Sangh Parivar, a group of Hindu nationalist organisations in India such as the RSS and the BJP.[2][3][4] In early years the NHSF had the same address as the HSS, a UK charity, per Manoj Ladwa, the then HSS spokesman.[5][6] Ladwa later served as a senior advisor to Narendra Modi during his successful Indian election campaign of 2014.[7] Although the HSS is considered to be inspired by the RSS, a UK charity commission inquiry in 2016 found no formal links between the two.[8]
