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.
