Sadhvi Prachi is a firebrand Hindutva politician and member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Early life

Sadhvi Prachi was born as Prachi Arya in a lower-middle-class Kori Schedule Caste family in Sirsali Village in Uttar Pradesh in Bagpat District.

At the age of fourteen, she is said to have attained Nirvana when her village was visited by Yug Purush Maha Mandaleshwar Swami Paramanand Giri Ji Maharaj. She became his disciple and followed him to his ashram in Haridwar and in tours across India, while gaining lessons in oratory. She was conferred the title of Sadhvi (ascetic).

Sadhvi Prachi entered public life and the Sangh Parivar as a trainee and member of the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, which is the women's arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), but gained prominence as a member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

Death threats and controversies

On 13 July 2016, she announced a reward of ₹50 lakh (US$59,000) to anyone willing to behead Zakir Naik. This has led her to controversies for spreading violence and hatred.

  7. Gandhian ways of protests and hunger strikes were worthless in achieving freedom.
  8. They are trapping our daughters through love jihad.These people who give birth to 35-40 are spreading love jihad. They are trying to make Hindustan, Darul Islam.
  9. The Nepal earthquake occurred due to visit of Rahul Gandhi who is non-vegetarian. He did not take bath in Holy Ganga. He should have it purified himself.
