Organizations Funded by IDRF - Sabrang/FOIL claims vs. Reality
Sabrang/ FOIL’s “The Foreign Exchange of Hate” uses an interesting nomenclature to pigeonhole the components of IDRF's funding into categories with two dimensions: ideology of the organization being sponsored (ie, RSS-affiliated, Hindu/Jain etc) and the main activity undertaken by the organization (ie, 'e' for "Hinduization/Tribal/Educational" and "rel" for religious etc.) Having categorized the funding thus, the authors of “The Foreign Exchange of Hate” arrive at their earth-shattering conclusion: 82% of the organizations are "RSS-affiliated", and 69% of the funding goes to "hinduization".
Below we compare what Sabrang/FOIL claims about the various organizations which IDRF has supported over the years – against what anyone old enough to be permitted on the internet could discover in a few minutes of using Search Engines and – yes – brains and, most important of all, honesty.
For each organization listed below, Sabrang’s statement from their Appendix H of “The Foreign Exchange of Hate” Report is given, followed by what we can see about the organization.
