Dr. Rajendra Singh,( डा. राजेंदर सिंह ), called popularly Rajju bhaiyya,( रज्जू भईया ), was the former Sarsanghchalak, or chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the largest Hindu nationalist organisation in India.In the mid-1980s Singh became RSS general secretary and was party to designing the Ram Janmabhoomi strategy.In 1994 Singh became the first non-Brahmin RSS head and set about "demystifying the secretive organisation and seizing political control". He wasthereforea central part of the campaign that "successfully propelled the BJP from relative political obscurity to the centre stage of Indian politics, through a calculated and cynical campaign centred around "Hindutva" or Hindu hegemony."
