New Delhi - The chief of India's most powerful Hindu right-wing organisation alleged yesterday that Christians did not consider women to be human.
K. Sudarshan, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS, National Volunteer Corps), which has close links with Prime Minister Vajpayee's Hindu nationalist party, made the attack at a women's function.
The RSS, outlawed three times since independence, was first banned following Mahatma Gandhi's assassination in January 1948 by a Hindu fanatic.
