Ideology and public roles
KVS HARIDAS got associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh at the age of 9–10; he was a student activist from his school and college days and was associated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and Kerala Vidyardhi Janatha (KVJ), the student wing of the Janatha party in the days of Janatha rule in the country. In 1978, when the KVJ split due to the ‘dual membership issue’, he was elected state vice president of the organization floated by the pro Janasangh people in the Janatha party. The dual membership issue was a plan floated by the anti-RSS people in the Janatha party, and they demanded that those having connections with the RSS should either quit the RSS or the Vidyardhi Janatha. Then the pro-RSS people came out of the organization to float a parallel students’ wing.[3] Later, when BJP was formed in 1980, KVS Haridas was appointed state vice president of the Bharathiya Vidyardhi Janatha (BVJ), which was later renamed Vidyardhi Morcha. In 1982, KVS became its state president and was a member of the central executive of the Vidyardhi Morcha and the National Executive of Bharathiya Janatha Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP. He was put in charge of the state office of the BJP in 1984 and became the state General Secretary of Yuva Morcha in 1986. He was a full-time worker of the BJP during those days. Later, in 1994, he was appointed as Associate Editor of Janmabhumi, a Malayalam daily. The next year, he became its Editor and continued as such until 2006. He was also the General Secretary of the Kerala Editors’ Forum, the organization of the Editors of various newspapers in Kerala. Sri. K Gopalakrishnan, then Editor of Mathrubhumi, and Fr Jose Panthaplamthottiyil, then Editor of Deepika daily, were the Presidents of the Editors’ Forum during those days.[4]
KVS became a face of the Sangh Parivar and BJP in Kerala in later days with his articles in major Malayalam dailies like Mathrubhumi and Kerala Kaumudi and periodicals like Samakalika Malayalam, Kalakaumudi and Prasadhakan.[5] His articles in the online media and social media have been considered by all as the views of the Sangh Parivar in Kerala. He has written more than one thousand two hundred articles for various publications and more than 500 editorials for the Janmabhumi. Later, in the last six or seven years, he has become the most considered spokesman of the BJP and other Nationalist organizations in Kerala.[6]
