Articles: My Thoughts | A factual Response to the hate Attack on the India Development and Relief Fund(IDRF)
- Mr. Narasimhaswamy Alavala

On November 20, 2002 a report was released in New Delhi accusing the India Development and Relief Fund (IDRF) of funding sectarian hate in India. It was simultaneously published by a number of Left/Marxist, Pan-Islamic, and Christian-Fundamentalist websites around the world. The IDRF is a volunteer charitable organization that raises money in the United States for development and relief projects as well as educational and social work in India. The attack against the IDRF (“The Foreign Exchange of Hate: IDRF and the American Funding of Hindutva”) was compiled in a 91-page report, and published by Sabrang Communications & Publishing Pvt. Ltd., India, and The South Asia Citizens Web, France. Much of the report is simply a rehash of what the Forum of Indian Leftists[8] (FOIL) has publicized over the past five years. FOIL has been targeting the IDRF primarily for what they claim are the following reasons:
· “The IDRF has supported a variety of philanthropic and social work including many undertaken by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates”.
· “The IDRF has volunteers and office-bearers affiliated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, the Hindu Swayam sevak Sangh and other overseas affiliates of the RSS”.
· “The RSS and its affiliates are sectarian and hate organizations, and the IDRF, as an ‘affiliate’ of the RSS, is also involved in funding and spreading hate”.
· That the IDRF violates the matching fund criteria of U.S. corporations that have provided matching grants to the IDRF (See Appendix A for CISCO’s matching fund criteria).
