The Hindu Yuva Vahini is a Hindu youth religious group,[1] founded by Yogi Adityanath, intended successor of the Gorakhpur Mutt temple in Gorakhpur, India. The group was founded in April 2002, on the day of Rama Navami by Yogi Adityanath.
Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV) describes itself as “A fierce cultural and social organisation dedicated to Hindutva and nationalism.” Its stated objectives are: “the integration of and mutual good faith within the massive Hindu society, through the complete abolishment of the differentiation between touchable-untouchable and high-low, promote the harmonious development of society.”[2] However cow protection, fighting against Love Jihad and performing Ghar Wapsi are said, per media reports, to have been top priority on the Hindu Yuva Vahini's agenda.[3][4]
