Encyclopedia > Kar Sevaks

The term Kar Sevak is used to refer to people who offer their services for free (volunteer) to a religious cause.


It has been used to refer to people who offered their services at Ayodhya to build the Ram temple and rather controversially to refer to people who demolished the Babri Masjid.

Godhra (801 words)
A few eye-witnesses have testified that there was an altercation between a Kar Sevak and a Muslim tea vendor at the railway station preceding the catastrophe, apparently over the payment of the due amount.
Some people claim that this incident had happened when the Kar Sevaks were on the way to Ayodhya, a few days earlier at the same station.
Kar sevaks are claimed by some to be an informal police force of the Sangh Parivar, who use violence as a means of solving social conflict, but are claimed by others to be those who indulge in social service by being attached to a Hindu temple.
