The Sangh Parivar (Hindi: संघ परिवार, translation: Family of Associations) refers to the family of Hindu organisations built around the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Sangh Parivar organisations tend to promote Hindu nationalism and Integral humanism. Some members of the Sangh Parivar also accept the Swadeshi ("self-reliance") philosophy.

Sangh's work is not restricted to its outward institutional form only, but is multi-dimensional, extending beyond the boundaries of 'sanghasthan'. The aim is to activise the dormant Hindu society, to make it come out of its self-oblivion and realise its past mistakes, to instil in it a firm determination to set them right, and finally to make it bestir itself to reassert its honour and self-respect so that no power on earth dares challenge it in the days to come. The Sangh Parivar is involved in more than 60,000 sewa (service) projects through out India [1]. The Sangh Parivar propagates Indian nationalism and Hindu culture. They are also involved in a lot of social service in rural India. The Sangh Parivar cadres are usually the first ones to respond to natural calamities in the rural areas.[citation needed]
