Hindu Rights Action Force, better known by its acronym HINDRAF (Malay: Barisan Bertindak Hak-Hak Hindu, Tamil: இந்து உரிமைகள் போராட்டக் குழு, romanized: Intu Urimaikaḷ Pōrāṭṭak Kuḻu); is a Hindu-activism right-wing non-governmental organisation (NGO) with its renowned slogan of Makkal Sakti (மக்கள் சக்தி) or Kuasa Rakyat translated as People's Power.[1] This organisation began as a coalition of 30 Hindu NGOs committed to the preservation of Hindu community rights and heritage in a multiracial Malaysia.[2][3]

HINDRAF has had a major impact on the political landscape of Malaysia by staging the infamous 2007 HINDRAF rally.[4] Following an enormous rally organised by HINDRAF in November 2007, several prominent members of the organisation were arrested, some on charges of sedition. The charges were dismissed by the courts. Five people were arrested and detained without trial under the Internal Security Act (ISA).[5] Toward the end of the 2000s, the group developed a broader political program to preserve and to push for equal rights and opportunities for the minority Indians. It has been successful in continuing to focus attention on the racist aspects of Malaysian Government policies.[6]

HINDRAF was deregistered by Registrar of Societies (RoS) on 15 July 2019.[7]
