Hindu Aikya Vedi

The Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV)or Hindu United Front is a Hindu organisation working in the state of Kerala, India. The group wants to bring together various sections of Kerala Hindu society, such as the Nairs, Ezhavas and other Hindu community groups. Its stated goal is to "preserve the true cultural heritage of Kerala" by enlightening the masses about the inherent qualities of Hindu culture vis-a-vis semitic/Abrahamic faiths. According to their leader, Kummanam Rajasekharan, their action plan consists of "CAP": Coordination, Agitation and Propaganda.

History

The first chairman of HAV was Swami Sathyananda Saraswathi.

Criticism

The major criticism on HAV is that it does not represent all the different castes in Hinduism as it is practised currently in Kerala. While the organisation claims to unite the followers of Hinduism under it doesn't have the representation of the Dalit Hindus in the state. Lately HAV has been associated with supporting comments of the beef ban in Maharashtra [1]
