Answer: What is Vishva Hindu Parishad mean?

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) (transl. Universal Hindu Council) is an Indian right-wing Hindu organization based on Hindu nationalism. The VHP was founded in 1964 by M. S. Golwalkar and S. S. Apte in collaboration with Swami Chinmayananda. Its stated objective is "to organise, consolidate the Hindu society and to serve and protect the Hindu Dharma". It was established to construct and renovate Hindu temples, and deal with matters of cow slaughter and religious conversion.

The VHP has been criticized for contributing to violence against Muslims in India, most notably for its role in the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 over the Ayodhya dispute. The VHP is considered a member of the Sangh Parivar group, an umbrella term for Hindu nationalist organisations led by the RSS.
