'''Karni Sena''' ({{IPAc-en|'|k|ə|'|r|n|i|_|s|eɪ|n|ɑː}}; {{Lang-hi|करणी सेना|translit=Karaṇī sēnā}}), known as '''Shri Rajput Karni Sena''' ({{Lang-hi|श्री राजपूत करणी सेना|lit= army of Karni [[Rajput|Rajputs]]|translit=Śrī rājapūta karaṇī sēnā}}, {{Small|abbr.}}: {{Abbr|SRKS|Shri Rajput Karni Sena}}), is an organisation based in [[Rajasthan]], [[India]]. Founder by Lokendra Singh Kalvi and led by Mahipal Singh Makrana, Vishwabandhu Singh Rathore and others. It takes its name from [[Karni Mata]], who is believed to be incarnation of [[Hinglaj]] by her followers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/society/faith/of-rats-rituals-and-rajputs/article21665281.ece/amp/|title=Of rats, rituals and Rajputs|work=[[The Hindu]]|author=Navina Jafa|date=15 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/astro/photo/karni-sena-named-after-karni-devi-32760/amp/|title=इस देवी के नाम पर बनी है करणी सेना, देवी के मंदिर की खूबी जानिए|publisher=[[Navbharat Times]]|lang=hi|date=14 June 2018}}</ref>

== History ==
The origin of the Karni Sena can be traced to attempts by the [[Rajput]] leader Lokendra Singh Kalvi to mobilise the Rajput community in 2005.<ref name="ToI_various_2018"/> The organisation was formed in on 23 September 2006 in [[Jhotwara]] locality of [[Jaipur]],<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018">{{cite news |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/in-many-faces-of-karni-sena-lokendra-kalvi-the-pivot/story-tUwFTXtyxczOAkhizitV1H.html |title=In many faces of Karni Sena, Lokendra Kalvi the pivot |author=Salik Ahmad |newspaper=Hindustan Times |date=24 January 2018 }}</ref> primarily by unemployed Rajput youth.<ref name="ToI_rise_2018">{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/the-rise-rise-of-karni-sena/articleshow/62626854.cms |title=The rise & rise of Karni Sena |author1=Ashish Mehta |author2=Dishank Purohit |newspaper=The Times of India |date=24 January 2018 }}</ref> The central aim of the newly-formed organisation was to demand [[reservation in India|caste-based reservation]] for Rajputs in government jobs and education. Its other objectives included ending the alleged "''sidelining of Rajput figures in textbooks''" and help elect Rajput legislators in the government.<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018"/>

The first President of the organisation was Ajeet Singh Mamdoli. During the [[2008 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election|2008 Rajasthan Assembly elections]], the group supported the [[Indian National Congress]] on the condition that the party would give a specified number of tickets to Rajput candidates.<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018"/> At that time, Kalvi was associated with the Congress, and Mamdoli wanted a Congress ticket to contest the election.<ref name="ToI_rise_2018">{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/the-rise-rise-of-karni-sena/articleshow/62626854.cms |title=The rise & rise of Karni Sena |author1=Ashish Mehta |author2=Dishank Purohit |newspaper=The Times of India |date=24 January 2018 }}</ref> According to Mamdoli, Kalvi was concerned about his growing political clout, which led to differences between the two leaders, and a split in the group.<ref name="ToI_various_2018"/> Mamdoli left the group and formed a new faction. Mamdoli filed a case against Kalvi's group, claiming that he had registered the name "Shri Rajput Karni Sena"; as of 2018, the case is sub-judice.<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018"/>

After Mamdoli's departure, Kalvi appointed Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi as the President of his faction. Later, differences developed between Kalvi and Gogamedhi over demands for reservation.<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018"/> In 2015, Gogamedi was expelled over criminal charges, and formed his own faction, called "Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena."<ref name="ToI_various_2018">{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/one-upmanship-behind-rise-of-various-karni-senas/articleshow/62596109.cms |title=One-upmanship behind rise of various Karni Senas |newspaper=The Times of India |date=22 January 2018 }}</ref> Kalvi then appointed Mahipal Singh Makrana as the state president of his faction.<ref name="HT_Salik_faces_2018"/>

As of 2018, there are three major Karni Sena factions:<ref name="ToI_various_2018"/><ref name="ToI_rise_2018"/>

* Shree Rajput Karni Sena, led by Lokendra Singh Kalvi
* Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Samiti, led by Ajeet Singh Mamdoli
* Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, led by Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi

The Karni Sena members initially focused on the caste-based reservation issue, but later, they became involved in a number of political issues in order to gain limelight. In 2008, they protested against the release of the movie ''[[Jodhaa Akbar]]'', alleging that it distorted Rajput history. In 2012, Karni Sena members from Shekhawati protested against a [[Central Bureau of Investigation|CBI]] inquiry against the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) legislator [[Rajendra Singh Rathore]].<ref name="ToI_various_2018"/>

In 2017, the Sena's members organised protests against the [[police encounter]] killing of gangster [[Anandpal Singh]], whom they saw as a defender of Rajputs against [[Jats]]. Kalvi's faction sidelined the other factions during these protests, and became prominent. Also in 2017, the group came to national limelight when it protested against the release of the movie ''[[Padmaavat]]''.<ref name="ToI_various_2018"/>

== Activism ==

===''Jodhaa Akbar''===
SRKS had protested when the film ''[[Jodhaa Akbar]]'' was released in 2008. According to Goldie Osuri, an academic with specialist interests in depictions of nationalism in the media, the public objection of the SRKS was related to a "minor historical indeterminacy" regarding whether the fictional central character was the wife or daughter-in-law of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal emperor]] [[Akbar]]. Osuri says that a wider analysis of media and blog sources shows that the real objection was to the depiction of marriage between the Muslim Emperor Akbar and a [[Hinduism|Hindu]] Rajput princess.<ref>{{cite book |title=Religious Freedom in India: Sovereignty and (anti) conversion |first=Goldie |last=Osuri |publisher=Routledge |year=2013 |isbn=978-0-41566-557-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8lz0Mg3xx9sC&pg=PA111}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Secular Interventions/Hinduized Sovereignty: (Anti) Conversion and Religious Pluralism in Jodhaa Akbar |first=Goldie |last=Osuri |journal=Cultural Critique |volume=81 |date=Spring 2012 |pages=70–99 |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |doi=10.5749/culturalcritique.81.2012.0070 |jstor=10.5749/culturalcritique.81.2012.0070 }}</ref>

The SRKS did not receive an apology from the ''Jodhaa Akbar'' film-maker, [[Ashutosh Gowariker]], as they had demanded but some Rajasthani cinemas did refuse to show the production and there were some protests in other states also. The organisation then objected to the 2010 movie ''[[Veer (2010 film)|Veer]]'', which they claimed maligned their community. They vandalised some cinemas that showed the film, the acts being described by commentator Chitra Padmanabhan as: {{quote|Thereupon the Sena wrote a new chapter in bravery by indulging in acts of vandalism in theatres screening the movie. Clearly, the 'art' lies in feeling aggrieved all the time.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Hindu |first=Chitra |last=Padmanabhan |title=Art under Fire |date=20 February 2010 |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/art-under-fire/article110061.ece |access-date=2015-04-16}}</ref>}}

In 2013, SRKS announced their opposition to the similarly-titled and -themed ''[[Jodha Akbar (TV series)|Jodhaa Akbar]]'' historical drama television series. Various objectors associated with SRKS said that the group would organise legal action and public protests to ban the series from being broadcast if discussions with the television company, [[Zee TV]], did not achieve their aim. They claimed that the Hindu-Muslim marriage involved a fictional character and was a distortion of history resulting from poor research.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rajputs protest against 'distortion' of history in Ekta Kapoor's TV serial |first=Arvind |last=Singh |work=Hindustan Times |date=16 June 2013 |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/television/rajputs-protest-against-distortion-of-history-in-ekta-kapoor-s-tv-serial/article1-1077365.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150425124835/http://www.hindustantimes.com/television/rajputs-protest-against-distortion-of-history-in-ekta-kapoor-s-tv-serial/article1-1077365.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 April 2015 |access-date=2015-04-15}}</ref> In 2014, SRKS organised a protest against [[Ekta Kapoor]], who had produced the now-broadcast series.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/television/Rajput-Karni-Sena-Shout-Slogans-at-Ekta-Kapoor-During-Jaipur-Lit-Fest/2014/01/21/article2011905.ece |title=Rajput Karni Sena Shout Slogans at Ekta Kapoor During Jaipur Lit Fest |agency=IANS |date=21 January 2014 |work=The New Indian Express |access-date=2015-04-14}}</ref> A month later, it was alleged that a group of around 40 SRKS members attacked the offices of Zee Media in Jaipur, a part of the television company that had broadcast the series.

===''Padmavati''===
In 2017, the Karni Sena started protesting against film ''[[Padmaavat]]'', based on [[Sufi poet]] [[Malik Muhammad Jayasi]]'s [[epic poem]] ''[[Padmavat]]'' (1540) about [[Rani Padmini|Padmavati]], claiming that the film is distorting [[Rajput history]] and hurting community sentiments.

There were allegations from the group that the film is depicting inaccurate facts, with activists vandalizing the sets of the film. According to a sting operation<ref>{{Cite news|date=2017-09-26|title=Padmavati: Karni Sena attackers' extortion plans exposed in sting operation|language=en|newspaper=Deccan Chronicle|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/260917/padmavati-karni-sena-attackers-extortion-plans-exposed-in-sting-operation.html|access-date=2017-10-25}}</ref> conducted by an Indian news channel, activists may have planted the controversy in order to extort money from the filmmakers.<ref>{{Cite news|title=India Today expose: Padmavatis Karni Sena attackers run extortion racket|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/padmavati-karni-sena-protests-deepika-padukone-shahid-kapoor/1/1055482.html|access-date=2017-10-25}}</ref> The vandals broke the mirrors that were installed in the [[Chittor Fort]] around 50 years ago, claiming that they misrepresent the story of Padmavati, whose face, according to ''PAD'', was shown to [[Alauddin Khalji]] using a mirror.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mirrors In Historic Chittorgarh Fort In Rajasthan Broken By Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Attackers|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/mirrors-in-historic-rajasthan-fort-broken-by-sanjay-leela-bhansalis-attackers-1666517|publisher=}}</ref>

In January 2017, a film set was vandalized. Several historians responded to the vandalism, with ''[[The Times of India]]'' reporting, "Sufi poet Jayasi made up the story that later got legend status, so Bhansali can't be threatened for taking creative licence with the tale, say historians".<ref>{{cite news|date=29 January 2017|title=Padmavati isn't history, so what's all the fuss about?|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/padmavati-isnt-history-so-whats-all-the-fuss-about/articleshow/56839266.cms}}</ref> Director [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]] was assaulted by the Karni Sena on a film set,<ref>{{cite news|date=29 January 2017|title=Sanjay Leela Bhansali assault: 'Padmavati' actors Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor break their silence - Times of India|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sanjay-leela-bhansali-assault-padmavati-deepika-padukone-breaks-her-silence/articleshow/56832864.cms}}</ref> which led to a number of celebrities and public figures condemning the attack.<ref>{{cite news|date=27 February 2017|title=Sanjay Leela Bhansali assaulted on 'Padmavati' set, Bollywood celebs condemn attack|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sanjay-leela-bhansali-assaulted-on-padmavati-set-bollywood-celebs-condemn-attack/articleshow/56825802.cms}}</ref>

The Karni Sena made threats of violence, reportedly threatening to burn down theatres if the film is released to audiences before it is shown to them for evaluation. Bhansali responded to the threats by reiterating that rumours of a romantic dream sequence between Padmavati and Khalji are false, and that the film contains no such scene.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cain|first=Rob|date=10 November 2017|title=Threats Of Theater Violence Weigh On Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati'|language=en|work=[[Forbes]]|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/11/10/will-threats-of-theater-violence-on-weigh-on-sanjay-leela-bhansalis-padmavati/}}</ref> The Karni Sena have held protests, supported by politicians in the ruling [[BJP]] party. Historians have criticized the protests, such as Aditya Mukherjee, who called the protests "absurd", stating that, in "the contemporary period, there is no mention of this event, no accounts of Padmavati by [[Amir Khusrau]], a prolific writer of the era and a courtier of Alauddin Khalji. This is misuse of both fiction and history. There is no historical evidence of this Padmavati event - this story is a poet's imagination". He referred to the controversy as "manufacturing of hurt sentiments clearly with an eye on politics".<ref>{{cite news|title=Bollywood film Padmavati faces protests from Karni Sena|work=[[Al Jazeera]]|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/bollywood-film-padmavati-faces-protests-karni-sena-171114114842351.html|access-date=16 November 2017}}</ref>

===Other types of activism===
Protests involving supporters of SRKS also occurred in 2009 at the [[University of Rajasthan]], where a dispute between a Rajput student and one from the [[Jat people|Jat]] caste escalated as fellow [[Jat]] students protested against the treatment of their colleague. The two castes constituted a significant proportion of students at the university and their caste associations — the SRKS and the [[Jat Mahasabha]] — tended to get support in particular from those caste members who came from small towns and villages. The caste barriers were reinforced by the existence of caste-based accommodation and tended to become particularly evident in student politics, which reflected the similar caste-based rivalry found in the politics of the state of Rajasthan itself.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Minor-dispute-becomes-major-caste-issue/articleshow/5092307.cms |work=The Times of India |title=Minor dispute becomes major caste issue |date=6 October 2009 |access-date=2015-04-14}}</ref>

In 2010, the [[Indian Police Service]] said that it had detained seven SRKS activists who were planning to disrupt an event at which [[Sonia Gandhi]] would be attending.<ref>{{cite news |title=Police denies detaining Karni Sena leader |agency=Press Trust of India |date=5 October 2010 |work=Business Standard |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/police-denies-detaining-karni-sena-leader-113011800239_1.html |access-date=2015-04-15}}</ref>

The organisation also participates in social services on various occasions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jagran.com/lite/haryana/gurgaon-corona-20175103.html|title=जरूरतमंदों की रसोई के लिए करणी सेना ने दिया राशन|work=[[Dainik Jagran]]|date=9 April 2020|lang=hi}}</ref>

On May 16 2021, Asif Khan, a Muslim resident of Khera Khalilpur village in Nuh district of Haryana, was murdered. He was attacked by a group of men while on his way home. The motive behind his murder is disputed with claims of personal enmity and [[mob lynching]] supposedly stated as possible causes.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Saxena |first1=Shivangi |title=Murder or mob lynching: Why was Asif Khan killed in Nuh? |url=https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/05/29/murder-or-mob-lynching-why-was-asif-khan-killed-in-nuh |website=[[Newslaundry]] |publisher=Newslaundry website |access-date=6 July 2021}}</ref> However, Karni Sena's President Suraj Pal Amu justified Asif's murder while addressing a Mahapanchayat (large village gathering) organised by Amu Noonh, the accused caught in the case.<ref>{{cite web |title='Hum unka murder bhi na kare... |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/viral/hum-unka-murder-bhi-na-kare-karni-sena-president-suraj-pal-amus-video-justifying-asifs-murder-goes-viral-twitter-horrified |website=[[The Free Press Journal]] (FPJ) |publisher=FPJ |access-date=6 July 2021}}</ref>
