Abstract:
The Hindu Maha Sabha was not an All India Organization before 1922. In the beginning, relations of Hindu Maha Sabha with the Congress were quite cordial. Establishment of All India Hindu Maha Sabha was an inevitable result of the Hindu community's growing awareness of community. It happened in India during the 19th and 20th centuries. The Hindu Maha Sabha, led by Lala Lajpat Rai and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, advocated for religious harmony between Hindus and Muslims. In the beginning, the British did not give much attention to the demands of the Hindu communalists because it believed that Congress Party represented the Hindus. V. D. Savarkar was chosen to lead the Hindu Maha Sabha as its president. His election was a turning moment in the development of the Hindu Maha Sabha. The Hindu Maha Sabha adopted a Hindu sectarian approach and propagated Hindu Rashtravad in the leadership of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. British Government supported the Muslim Communalism but the British had no special interest in the Muslims. At a later stage when the Hindu Maha Sabha started raising voice against the Congress, the British Government gave its tacit support to this organization. The Hindu Maha Sabha was willing to utilise the Colonial authorities' protection as a means to increase its political stance.
