The Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV) or Hindu Ikyavedi or Hindu United Front is a "platform to bring all Hindu organizations together", active in the state of Kerala in India. The group is dedicated to bringing in various sections in Kerala Hindu society such as the Nairs and the Ezhavas under a single umbrella group. Unlike many Indian states, in Kerala minorities enjoy an overwhelming clout in politics besides financially commanding a better position vis a vis their Hindu counter parts. The HAV's stated goal is to "preserve the true cultural heritage of Kerala" by enlightening the masses about the inherent qualities of Hindu culture vis-a-vis semitic/Abrahamic faiths. According to their leader, Sri. Kummanam Rajasekharan, their action plan consists of "CAP": Coordination, Agitation and Propaganda.
The group is known for its activism in preserving Hindu cultural unity and staging protests to secure Hindu sites of worship for Hindu use only. Currently, Hindu temples in Kerala are administered by the government through the Devaswam Boards of members nominated by the secular government. Often, even atheists are thus nominated. Hindu places of worship alone are subject to such government control. [1]

====Save temples campaign====(Christian)-Colonialism and conversion of Hindu people into christian fold are going hand in hand from the beginning of sixteenth century .The conversion agenda was effectively resisted or confronted till the days of independence, by local ruling authorities. But in 1947 the conversion machinery tactfully switched loyalty to the new ruling class and political set up.They enacted so many legislation to disable the Hindu system by perverting the Constitution of India using corrupt and nepotist politicians and judicial officers time to time . From the time of British Resident rule in Kerala, The christian lobby is engaged in anti Hindu,anti Temple activities.The Churches at Paalayoor and Malayaattoor are the direct evidence of occupancy of Hindu Temples by force. The present Devaswom Boards which are (mis)managing the Hindu temples are only the continuation of the British-Christian creation by colnel Munro, the Resident;which continues the destructive agenda.So the Hindu fold is trying to get off with so called secular- anti Hindu Yoke.
Hindu Aikya Vedi maintains its position that,they are not against the practicing or preaching of any particlular faith ,but against proselytization carried out mostly by certain christian groups.[4] Proselytization is deemed unlawful under Indian constitution .They also point at the dubious stand taken by the Church on occasions such as the Bnei_menashe#Controversy_in_India, where it vehemently opposed rabbis who were facilitating the conversion of tribal christians which will enable them to perform aliyah
