Where did the RSS get so much money from?

• There’s no public disclosure of the RSS’s funding sources for such overseas expenditure. That lack of transparency raises red flags around legitimacy, donor origin, and accounting.

• 
  

• In short: Who gave this money? Under what circumstances? What was the source chain for crypto funds?

In what capacity did the RSS contract the firm?

• The link is made to Squire Patton Boggs, having registered as a lobbyist for RSS in the U.S. context. 

• 
  

• But how was this contract framed: Was RSS acting as a private entity, a non‐profit, a trade body, or something else? Was the deal formally documented?

• 
  

• Was the firm contracted specifically to mediate India-US trade talks, or did the scope extend to broader lobbying? The ambiguity matters.

RSS isn’t registered in India. Why isn’t their source of funds being investigated?

• 
  

• According to the criticism reported, RSS acknowledged it “isn’t a registered organisation and that it does not pay taxes.” 

• 
  

• If an entity is carrying out overseas payments and engaging foreign lobbyists, typical regulatory frameworks (taxation, foreign contribution laws, corporate/association registration) would demand scrutiny.

• 
  

• Why has there been no visible public investigation or clarification of how much was paid, what the justification was, and how this data-aligns with India’s laws (e.g., FCRA, company law)?

Did the Modi government permit them to pay brokerage?

• If RSS is acting in a public, policy-influencing capacity (especially on trade) and engaging in payments to foreign firms, did the government have oversight or consent?

• 
  

• Was this done with state knowledge or tacit approval? If so, why is there no public disclosure? If not, what accounts for the government’s silence?

• 
  

• The government’s role here is central: either it authorised or turned a blind eye — neither scenario is politically comfortable.

What is the RSS’s motive for an India-US trade deal?

• The trade deal could reshape India’s economy, strategic data-alignment, export/import dynamics, and diplomacy — and an organisation taking active steps in influencing it likely has defined interests.

• 
  

• Potential motives: seeking leverage for industrial/political allies; shaping regulatory/regime outcomes favourable to RSS-linked entities; securing influence in the U.S. diplomatic/public policy arena.

• 
  

• The fact that their “economic wing” has previously called for india to dump multilateral institutions like the World Trade Organization and push bilateral deals suggests a strategic ideological agenda.

• 
  

• If the RSS is effectively brokering a deal, one must ask: for whom? What’s the payoff?

• 
  

This is not mere “political spin” — the combination of crypto payment, foreign lobbying, unregistered organisation, and a major international trade deal is a cocktail that demands transparency, accountability, and investigation.
