In 2018, CIA declared Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal as militant outfits.

Bajrang Dal is the youth wing of the VHP and both the outfits are offshoots of the deadly Hindutva terrorist organisation RSS.

CIA classifies VHP, Bajrang Dal as millitant religious outfits

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal have been classified as religious millitant outfits in CIA's World Factbook. The two organisations have been categorised under 'Political pressure groups' in the document. 

@i_theindian Brilliant strategy. credit where credit is due. the cadres of the Bajrang Dal are almost completely made up of youths from backward castes. These unfortunate youths feel a sense of belonging and are easily manipulated.The top brass of the RSS are upper caste brahmins exclusively, who will not mingle with these people socially. They use the VHP to control them and get the cadres to do their dirty work for them and very easily distance themselves from them when the need arises.
