The leader of a fascist Hindu organization is scheduled to visit Canada this month on a tour intended to clean up its image. But human rights groups are saying he shouldn’t be allowed into the country at all.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh—or RSS—is a paramilitary group whose early leaders were inspired by Nazism.

It has been called the “ideological mothership” of India’s ruling far-right party, which was founded as the RSS’s political wing.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh[c] (RSS; lit. 'National Volunteer Union' or 'National Volunteer Corps') is an Indian right-wing Hindutva volunteer paramilitary organisation. It is the progenitor and leader of a large body of Hindutva organisations called the Sangh Parivar (Hindi for "Sangh family"), which has developed a presence in all facets of Indian society and includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling political party under Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India.

The RSS was explicitly inspired by European fascism and its leading politicians consistently praised Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
