sewausa.org - Revoke 501c4 Tax Exemption for spreading HATE on Christians/Muslims

The Issue

@USTreasury time to investigate the http://SewaUSA.org  and their 501c status - there is documented evidence to show how Sewa International orgs has been supporting violence against Christians & Muslims in India.

During recent floods in Kerala..Some of their followers made public communal appeal in social media to help ONLY Kerala Hindus but not Christians or Muslims and why they are making this distinction?. This has not condemned by SewaUSA.

We call on Attorney General of Texas, the Internal Revenue Service and, Charity Regulation Division to review and audit the Sewa International 501(c)4 Tax Exempt status as a Social Welfare organization activities who receiving this money in India and where they spending it.

Here is glimpse how SewaUSA.org abused american tax except system(501c). 

  • Funds raised by Sewa International have been given to RSS organizations in India whose members and followers have been involved or implicated in large scale anti-minority violence or religious hatred, despite Sewa International’s denials.
  • Sewa International and the Kalyan Ashram Trust UK (a registered charity) raise funds for the RSS arm, Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (VKA), which has been responsible for considerable violence and hatred against Christian and Muslim groups, including during the Gujarat carnage in 2002.
  • Sewa Bharati, the key recipient of Sewa International Gujarat earthquake funds had its license to operate in Madhya Pradesh revoked by the state government because of alleged violence against Christians. Allegations of violence against Christians by Sewa Bharati in Madhya Pradesh continue.
  • Sewa International also raises funds for projects, such as ‘one-teacher schools’, that involve the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), an Indian organization at the forefront of anti-minority violence and hatred in India. The purpose of these schools is to oppose Christians and what the RSS calls ‘subversion’ and ‘anti-national’ tendencies.
  • Almost a quarter of Sewa International earthquake funds raised from the USA public were for building sectarian, highly controversial RSS schools. These schools are mainly run by the RSS’s Vidya Bharati, whose teaching material has been condemned by India’s statutory National Council for Educational Research and Training as blatantly promoting bigotry, fanaticism and hatred.
  • There are serious allegations that the RSS discriminated against Muslims and dalits in earthquake relief, and that the RSS and its allies attacked and intimidated secular NGOs undertaking relief work. Earthquake relief work by RSS allies was accompanied by violence and hatred against Christians.
  • Despite their repeated claims to be non-sectarian and non-discriminatory, Sewa International, the HSS or the VHP UK did not launch any humanitarian appeal following the Gujarat carnage in 2002 carried out by Hindutva supremacist groups in which 2,000 people died, mostly Muslims, and over 200,000 citizens of India were displaced.
  • Because of their role in funding, promoting or glorifying RSS organizations that have been directly responsible for or implicated in serious, large scale sectarian violence, hatred or violation of human rights in India:
