These groups have signed an open letter expressing their dissent, stating that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and their Hindutva ideology do not represent them. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani also voiced his concerns, calling the movement \"incredibly troubling\" due to its exclusionary vision of India.",
